The year that was(`nt).....
I cannot sit idle; I find it almost impossible. But there are times I dont want to do anything. Nothing at all - no reading, listening to music..nothing. But I still dont want to sit idle. So what do I do? I ponder. I ponder and my thoughts wander. Sometimes on overdrive. But what do I think about? Mostly about my existance and all things around it.
So here I am. At work. Writing this post and talking to some friends about plans tonight. And then I realize its time for the customary "the year that was post". I had almost forgotten about it and coming back to all my rumination, I realized why!Because I had nothing to write about. The year was well...just another year. Apart from my parents visit here (a mere five weeks out of a whole year!),it was a pretty non-happening year. Yes,for once I will focus on myself..it was a non happening year for me. No achievements on the professional front (maybe I learnt stuff,which happens to everybody). Did run a 5K though. But not anywhere close to running shape now. Did not go anyplace interesting...only same old SF..(I love the city, no doubt,but I am OD`ed on it now). One thing I did though...new friend/friends. (Yes!that doesnt happen all the time and actually deserves a mention here. People I got very close to in a small period of time (by my standards)). And for a good part of the year,skewed my own work-life balance pretty bad (something which I am very particular about) and something I had strived to practice right away since the start of my job here. Working all crazy hours even when it wasnt absolutely necessary. One thing though...all said and done, the year ends leaving me feel very old. A strange kind of anachronism where I feel Im much older than one year in just one year??
Happy new year!!!
