2011 for ME!
2011 was really good
me... from various aspects!
First and foremost:
Generally people will be
happy, if they buy house. One of the milestones in every body's life would be
buying a house, though few have their own other priorities other than buying house and they tend to fulfill them.
I happen to buy one this
year. It all started when my parents asked me whether they could start search a
pair for me. I said, I would own a house, before they start searching a pair.
Though searching flat was big task and materializing with aligning all other activities like loan, arranging money etc etc, I could accomplish it before end of this
year. My friends who helped to search flat at different places, another friend
who identified this project and motivated me till I agreed for it... Thanks to
all of my friends.
Flat in some shape would
be ready by end of next year.
I would say that this is one of the biggest achievements in my lifetime, which was accomplished in 2011. My parents played an important role for achieving this!
Second:
After coming to Pune,
rather, after joining Tata Motors (Tata Technologies), I got my first appraisal
in 2011. Though, it was not up to the expectation, I didn't mention about my
own expectation only, as it was expected from many of my colleague. I had
learnt out of the appraisal to work smarter than what I was last year.
General opinion of my
present colleagues and ex-colleagues is that, I am good performer. They would
rank my performance better than most of them. I feel proud to mention this here
as I feel it is true to some extent.
The second half of the year had taken me to next level in-terms of handling crisis situation without taking them much on the head. I would say that 2011 has taught me this, though it was costly.
Third:
I have explored many
places through travel. This year turned out to be one of the highest numbers of
travel, I have undergone since my childhood. Barring them whether official or
personal, number of trips were huge this year.
I could able to go to
different place and meet different set of people.
Fourth:
Since, I am out of my
hometown, I am missing my parents, sisters, and of-course my friends. I have very good time with my mom and dad when I visit my home every time.
Though I have traveled to my home town, more than 5, 6 times, I could
not meet up with my close friend. Last visit during Dec 11 to 14th
for registration, my friend could able to pull out some time from his busy
office stuff and he could able to spend some time with me. I could not forget the
moments.
Fifth:
Though, I started
reading books couple of years before, I could not continue them meticulously
during 2011. During the end of this year, I started again with the book
"The Fountainhead". Thanks to my friend who has shown his books,
which tempted
Sixth:
My roommate and I have
decided to stay in the present flat as such after my third roommate shifted to
new house after bringing his family. Both of us only, were staying for more
than 6 months. However, we have decided to include one more person and stay as
3. Though the main intension was to share the expenses among 3 would reduce the
burden, instead of sharing between 2.
I had no expectation of
my new roommate. He is a colleague of mine in Tata Motors. After meeting him, I understood at first instance that he is such a nice
person whom anyone will get along with him so easily. He is down to earth
person. Though we see many people like this, but we rarely are with them for
long time. I get an opportunity to be with such kind of person.
These are the moments that come to my mind when I started writing this post. However, there many other small small achievements, challenges during 2011.
I hope that 2012 would be filled with challenges, strong mind to overcome them, and finally ending up with achievements and experience.
I wish you and your family HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2012.
