Merry Christmas
peepals!
6 more days for 2013 and I am still wondering what to do for the New
year's. I guess I will eventually land up in some random place either dancing
or eating or just wandering! Right now,
I sit here in front of the laptop (on a holiday), listening to a song which
annoys my hubby the most, trying to write a plan for a project starting in 2013
and in the midst of all that, trying to write this ;)
BTW this is my 3rd
attempt at a blog post this week. I don’t know why (may be I know why) I have
just not been able to either turn my thoughts into words, or found time to
write, or found the words and the time, but just didn't get enough "meat"
to put into a post. Lets just hope I manage to finish this one successfully ;)
For all the
"end-of-the-world" hype this year had, we seem to have passed by the
"Doomsday" smoother than anticipated. Wonder if the whole 2012
prediction was just another way of getting a new topic to frighten people or make money! Anyways, for me, I believe
this year went really well! "How do you say that?" You may ask. Let
me try to answer that as convincingly as I can :)
January - Started
the year in a rather boring way (sitting at home). However, managed to reach my
100th blog post on the Newyears'. So proud of me on that one ;). Made my maiden visit to Kolkata and attended Amit n Ruchika's wedding. Enjoyed every moment of their hospitality and made some real witty friends :-))
February - Vishnu
and I got famous on our 3rd anniversary :) Our story was featured in Femina
February edition. Haven't read it? See here.
We celebrated the "D" day at Masinagudi along with love birds Hussain
and Rash. We also signed
papers for our new House which is currently under construction :)
March and April:
Well, nothing much, first wedding in the team. Padma got into wedlock :) and I
managed to save myself from getting fooled :P
May: By far the
best-est month of the year :) My first trip to Seattle, loads of re-union, some
major bonding with sister. Sky dived from 12,500 feet above sea level (I have a Certificate to prove that ;) ..) Road trip to 3 states in 2 days - From LA to
Grand Canyon to Vegas! :) Also did a
cycle gap visit to Dubai (you know why ;) )
June: Back home and
continued normal life ;) Akka and kids visited us :) Urvi found a new baby
sitter to cling and climb on :) and Rashi found a new partner in crime ;)
In-laws started for their 2.5 months vacation to US.
Team outings,
dinners, lunches, treats at its best :) Stephen's first visit to Chennai.
July: Met Rosy and Mallika after ages! Super
surprise planned by both of them :) Spent some very "embracing"
moments with Kishen, Ambika and Mariya ;)
August: Best friend
Suni got married to her forever friend Kiruba :) Back at work, launched India
Kindle Store on Amazon.com
September: Trip to
Bangalore, met Phaphda. Took complete pleasure of bugging Prathi :) Streaked my
hair Red :) and and and ….Celebrated my Birthday with awesome surprises, loving wishes and cake cutting! Completed 4 years at Amazon :D
October: One day
trek to Tada, fun time with team and hubby. Mr. Awesome moved to
Bangalore (sad and happy for him). Gangnam style outing at Raddison Blu
(Mahabs). Found new girls gumbal at work to jabber with :) We also bid farewell
to Zenab, she left Chennai to pursue her PhD, may God bless you and the phD ;)
November: First road
trip as a couple from Chennai to Kodai. Adventure time at Elephant Valley on
the Tree house ;) A good eco-friendly birthday for hubby;)
December: Numerous
project launches at work (team is super proud of their work). In the midst of
all that attended half a dozen weddings, practically every close friend of mine
got married this month. Laughter filled trip to Dharmapuri and Hoganakkel.
So, "Bhaisaab aap convince ho gaye ya
mein aur bolu??" - Hope you had an awesome 2012 too. Looking
forward to New year party (wherever that is) and 2013 :)
