Another year is nearing its end. A lot has happened some which should not have and some that really made a difference. Personally it has been a roller coaster of a ride. Many firsts this year - had my first bike accident after more than a decade, my car broke down for the first time ever and the most exciting one - celebrated this year's birthday in the place I was born - Bombay, Mumbai whichever name one calls that never say die place. Few of those I got to know after I joined Ugam and relocated to Coimbatore have now moved on. I do not remember that many numbers saying good bye ever before. Fortunately most will be in touch :-)
My mother had yet another bout of illness like in 2010 got hospitalized for about a good 10-12 days. I got to see a side of her that I had not before. She was like a helpless child. I brushed her teeth, combed her hair, changed her clothes and all that one has to for a child. I consider myself lucky for having been there when she needed someone most.
Thanks to my mother's illness I reconnected with my sister and brother in law. It is not for nothing that people say happiness and sorrow bring down walls (or at least some seem to think so!). Feels good to be back in touch and knowing that there are more people who care and to care for :-)
Professionally this year has been one of the best. I have got to work with world class clients, fantastic team members and towards the end of the year have been given more responsibilities. The way it came to me I would not have asked for it to be so. Regardless I will do the best I can and want to deliver the best I can.
Last, not the least my friends. Managed to spent some quality time with the few friends I have. They are still the same though all of us have some grey hair here and there :-) We are the same boisterous bunch when together. Loved the time spent with them.
Look forward to 2013 and what it has in store.
May there be peace in the world.
