For the last 4-5 years, this has been the time. You know, where I introspect, prioritize, re-strategize and do pretty much the same thing I’ve been doing forever in life. I guess the last year was something I’m thankful for, so I know what to look forward to in this year (what with doomsday prediction and all) Just thinking aloud, writing down later and posting it mid month.
2011 saw the average Indian becoming slightly above average. Health conscious people moved on from diets to fasting resulting in lowering of food inflation. Media covered scandals, commented on scandals and when nothing happened created their own scandals and roped in some big shots for good measure. From Hollywood stars making guest appearance in our movies, our Err.. actors made appearances in Hollywood movies. There was a general feel good for Indians at the fact that we have complained or cribbed rather than accepting. Since we are developing country (for the last 65 years) which is on the verge of becoming a superpower (for last 8 years), I’m not gonna bother about the rest of the world.
All of a sudden someone might point out, “hey wait a minute, isn’t that similar to what happened the year before as well?” Smart you are! There are many milestones as such but if you pay attention, life is pretty much the mundane repetitive cycle of events with varying players and circumstances. If you are a math person – Integration by parts if you please..I see a lot of impatience in and around me and sometimes quest for milestones makes us lose focus on the day to day mundane.
Without getting all philosophical, 2011 was a decent year for me. Professionally I’m in a career where I love what I do (ideally should hold good personally too [whistles to distract]). I’ve fulfilled my responsibilities with a bit of arrogance and a lot of hard work. Realized being content and positive doesn’t mean less ambitious. Enjoyed myself on the social network and gave in to the new age primal instinct of tweeting. And pretty much enjoyed the journey through uneven roads without getting too bogged down. So I would like to continue doing these parts in 2012.
Coincidentally enough my personal life followed pretty much the fortunes of the Indian cricket team. Started the year a bit tentatively, reached the peak in March, April, Forgettable mid year, got back a bit of form in the last quarter and finishing a tad furtive. Hopefully 2012 doesn’t go that way (what with crushing Sydney and Perth tests). Blogging suffered and so did my reading. To use my ECE parlance my ‘Form Factor’ left a lot to be desired. Hope to set things right
I guess at the end of day [cliche1], [cliche 2], . Blah. [title explanation]
Thank God I'm me.
God Bless All.
