The year that was - 2006.
Its been a wonderful year. It came and went so fast that I cudnt have any moment back then to
relish the wonderful experiences and fun I'd been having in 2006. It is one of those years I can never forget in my life. Just like 2004. I met more friends than ever, I traveled more than ever, I enjoyed more than ever. The most transgressing year in my life ever!!!
It all started with a cake cutting in Hyderabad which I still don't remember eating. And with
a phone call from that special person - also which has gone down the drains in my memory tank
the next day. Everybody else remembered and she was freaking me out the following day.
It was the first get-together of Archians after passing out from college. As always our plans for Goa misfired and we all ended up in HYD, thanks to some brilliant calculations by the most intelligent guy in the class. But who cares where it is if we have friends n drinks to celebrate!!! I never do!! Everybody had an awesome time traveling back to college days!!
Then I came face to face with the reality at work. I had to manage a small team and a project
all by myself and work in totally unpredictable timings. The peaceful life I had been having at work ended and the storm began. The worst thing was it never stopped after that. Somewhere
around this time the freakish American Dream became a reality and I was allowed to enter Uncle Sam's land. After some thinking (Actually I never did) I turned down the offer to work in UK and resigned from the job I had been enjoying since college. But controversy never leaves me.I had to leave my mother ship with some rebarbative mood causing rifts between me and people over there. But it was all forgotten on the last day and finally I walked out of the building
and never looked back!!!
And whats life without love and relationships? And those who know me also know that I am never without one. I always keep falling for the wrong women all the time. For instance - What
can I do if Paz Vega is not a Tamil girl my parents would like?? Jokes apart - that was inevitable for some reason not known, at least to me until now!! But this time it was different. She was the perfect one. But I was too skeptical and paranoid about the whole thing and I had to move away from her to pursue my career. Everybody has their own limits of patience and she was so calm and understanding even after i pushed her off the edge. But there was no other choice and she had to leave. I know its tough to get back with her but I can bet on my life that nobody would be as perfect as her for me. [More on this later].
The first 6 months passed with fun n frolic with my buds in India. Come the 2nd half of the year
I had to face the most grueling wait for a job. It kept eluding me for 2 months. Thanks to all those who were there to support me and motivate me to go back again with full vengeance. And this time I hit the bulls-eye and settled down in the White Mountains. USA has been kind to me so far. Work kept me busy and living in a small city in a small state made my craving for some good Indian food more and more.
Its been a wonderful year. It started and ended on the same note - 2006 had been great!!! Hope
the same works out in 2007. I am sure 2007 will be eventful and successful for everyone and
myself. Happy New Year Folks!!!
[Was caught between work and sleep. Ate only 4 times for the past 4 days. So will be back
with the novel in MY OTHER BLOG soon]
