It was a strange year. It had its highlights. It had its share of lows. Not going to list them down under each of those categories. Let’s say… I look back at those moments which I would not forget for which the reasons be either bad or good….I realise that I have travelled quite a bit this year… Tirunelveli, Bangalore, Pune, Lonavala, Mumbai, Pondicherry and to top the list would be… London. In addition to all this is my shuttle between Chennai and Cochin whenever time permits. I had Coimbatore and Hyderabad too in mind but it just never worked out because of hectic work schedules.
I was quite lucky I was able to see Mumbai before the terror attacks….really loved South Bombay. It has a special charm which no other city has that I have seen so far.
Work-wise… yes, worked a lot this year….longer hours than the previous year where I just worked for 8-9 hrs. I ended up breaking my policy of not working after midnight because my work demanded it. But I did make sure I compensated by coming in by 11:30am for work. No one has questioned me so far. In fact, I was waiting to be questioned. I guess they know I work more than enough. Unfortunately, my situation was such that even if I reached the office by 8am, I would not be able to get out by 7pm due to constraints and orders from higher authorities. (I am trying so hard from refraining to spill out the beans as to who these authorities are….sigh…)
The economic recession was or rather is definitely not a good thing and everyone is hopeful of the New Year in this regard. However, to many, it looks bleak. Well, I feel you cannot or rather should not state anything at this point. To give a description of how bleak 2009 is going to turn out is definitely not going to help anyone.
The story of life was no different in 2008, people were born and people have died. For those who have brought young ones into this world, may the year ahead be full of joy and constant diaper changing. And for those who have lost their loved ones, pray for the departed souls and put your sorrows behind you as the drama called LIFE has to go on.
There were lots of wedding bells and definitely more to come in 2009. This year is going to turn me deaf with all the bells ringing and clanging.
On the whole, the eventful year 2008 was I must say!!
