So another year passes, while a new one beckons. Honestly, I have not sat down and reflected on what went on throughout the year. Only certain things are at the top of my head and because of that...this is going to be a very short entry.
I traveled overseas 3 times this year - to new states in India, Thailand and also Germany! Needless to say, the places were of course beautiful and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. The travels only added fuel to my desire to travel more, however, despite planning on starting a 'travel fund', the plan remains a plan. Sighs. I must say that I did extend my stay in Germany this year and had a great time in Munich.
I made new friends this year. This is definitely an achievement as being the introvert that I am, I've somehow managed to add/maintain the same number of friends in every stage of my life: 2-3 in high school; similarly in college, and even at work. My social circle is really small and I sometimes wonder whether it's due to me being lazy or some unknown forces.
I think I read more books this year than I did last year. I also BOUGHT more books and my to-be-read pile is still high and piling up. And just this Xmas, my sister gave me Mitch Albom's newest book but I've yet to start it.
Oh...I also watched more movies in the cinema this year. It has started to become a guilty pleasure for my family and me. And I broke my personal record of watching the later SRK-Kajol movie 3 times (!!!) at the cinema. I want to watch it a 4th time but my mum will kill me. I'll just have to settle for the DVD when it comes out. Seriously, I've not been obsessed about a movie since their last romantic movie in 2001.
Amidst all that, I have been thinking about my professional life. It was not a good year at work throughout the year. The last two months of the year was really tough and I had to make difficult decisions. Decisions that will take me on the road less traveled but which I hope leads me to greater heights and places.
Come 2016, I hope and pray for a better me, new opportunities, new hopes and dreams!
Happy New Year!!
