Awesome Year

Saw snippets of the BEST and Worst of the year in most websites so came up with this post about my year.
In 2005 I :

• Finished my post graduation and with that hopefully came to the end of the road of my academic career.
• Conned Wipro, Intel, MBT, Vistasoft, IBM, Covansys and I-Gate into giving me job offers. 7 offers to work (never knew I was so wanted)
• Started working and more importantly EARNING.
• Started taking a Bath everyday and a shave every two days (unwelcome change from IIT days when the periodic activity for the same was fortnightly and monthly respectively).
• Got my first Bonus.
• Bought my Mom a Really Nice Present.
• Learnt Cooking with successful results.
• Cut down on excesses due to a Bad Back aka Slip Disk (Now you can speculate about what excesses are :-D)
• Saw a VERY Close friend get married and put his life in order.
• Tried playing Cupid with mixed results
• Spent a year SINGLE and loved every moment of it. (i.e. Became a bigger Geela)
• Joined a GYM for an obscene amount and went there thrice ..to date.
• Invested in Mutual Funds and Insurance (Ahem…running out of things to write)
• Started BLOGGING

In Effect…grown up (both mentally and physically)
Hope the coming year will be as fruitful (AHEM) to you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
