Hits & Misses of 2009!

Honestly I feel that stock-checking should be a continuous process but it feels good to do at year-end. The most important thing that comes out of it is...I can continue doing those things that had positive impact on my life, and it would also help me identify those areas that could be improved. We do this at our workplaces (hardly left with a choice!), so we can do it for our life too.

Now, for myself let’s see what went well:

1. After repeated thoughts I had decided to take the plunge and relocate to Calcutta. It turned out to be a real blessing in disguise. I could shake away the comfort-zone in me due to my stay in Bangalore for past four years!
2. I have started two blogs, and I write more often than I did before
3. Changed my attitude towards Financial Planning from ‘will take as it comes’ to ‘look before you leap’
4. Initiated my endeavour on freelancing. I could take some time to explore how it would feel to be on my own
5. Stuck to last year’s resolution of giving up on alcohol
6. Control my emotions better than before
7. I have made two great friends...feel very lucky to have them with me
8. I have given up on outside food big time
9. Last, and most importantly life seems more calm, stable and happy...being at home

Well, looking at what could have been better....lots actually!

1. I need to be more patient with people around me
2. I should have been disciplined with exercise & work-out...not do once in a while that I did in the past year.
3. Write every day
4. Eat healthy, plan the diet well.
5. Finish 2 books every month
6. Watch 4 movies every month
7. Learn to drive well
8. Acquire more finesse in communication
9. Be more attentive towards Parents
10. Give 100% to work

Back to blog

I have been quite inactive on this platform for the past couple of months; in fact, the last post that I see here was in July! I had started this blog, because I really liked writing on these subjects, but I had dropped off just because of poor time-management skills. The attention demanded by other activities swallowed up so much of my time, that I am unable to continue something I really like doing. Now that I have realize, this issue needs to be addressed and here I come to a new beginning....no, that’s not true, there are no new beginnings...I will pick up the thread from where I had left it.
