2010, Summarized!


Yes, another year down and this time it’s 2010. My resolution for this year was to be punctual. But, this post has appeared so late, I’m sure you must have noticed where the resolutions are headingJ.

Thou 2010 didn’t take off well, but it seemed to be a fabulous year. The year gone by has lived up to give me some of the most memorable moments. To start off, this year gave me an amazing breakthrough in the field of eLearning. I started to work in what I strongly believe is my passion, Instructional Designing. I was successful in getting hired at GOLS, one of the top-notch eLearning companies in India fuelling eLearning in India. I met some amazing talented people at GOLS. Guys, you all are awesome and continue each day to inspire me. Keep up the great work. Post GOLS, GOD was gracious and merciful to grant me a job at TATA Interactive Systems, which appears in one of my ‘Need to Work’ list. It been over a month out here and things are going pretty good. Made some good colleagues, a nice Christmas decorated bay, regular cups of lemon tea, what else could I ask for? PRAISE THE LORD!

On the academic front too this year was good. Thou it was much slow as compared to plans, but one the whole not a disappointing one. PGDID is almost done and plans are to drift towards some post graduation degree. Details are yet to be uncovered.

To top all the above, it was on the personal front I had most gains. This year made me feel really special when it came to my personal life. To start off, some of the proactive school members of my batch made all the efforts to have a school reunion and it was truly a delight to see all the guys you ate vada pav with and all the girls you couldn’t speak to back then. It was amazing party and I remember how I was telling myself that the dance for the day is over, but ended up dancing another good hour. Thanks Vinay and Carlton. Also, I made a wonderful friend who has successfully managed to hop through and come into the green pastures of Calvin’s Best Friend courtyard. She is none other than, Meghna Vashi. (No it’s not an award ceremony, just felt like writing it this way!) A great person at heart, not to forget her sense of humor and good looks which make say- KADAK! Meghna is so going to kill me for this cheap lingo xD~. And folks, please keep the controversies and conclusions aside. On the other hand my best-best friend Vinay Raghav has moved out of ghar-sansar colony and also Nerissa Dmello is in Canada. I know it’s not a happy moment to write about, but not to forget my friends moving into bigger things. If I keep myself off the selfish track, I’m so happy for my friends, but still Vinu, bird watching will never be the same in you absence. Ghar Aaja pardesi tera colony bulai re…How cheap! Hahaha.
As for you Ness, being cool is going to be tuff.
On the spiritual front GOD granted me the grace to visit Potta. It is one the most beautiful places I have ever been to not to forget to mention the spiritual experience out there was just amazing. It was 4 day retreat with regular bible sessions and preaching. Confessions, counseling, and a fabulous Inner Healing session. Also, I made some good friends at Potta- Henson, Jerry, Joel and Gary. Along with these guys praying was just brilliant. Loved the way we sang clapping our hands- One Way Jesus. I know I still stand as a sinner, but GOD has granted me the grace to visit such a place and experience HIS mighty works. PRAISE THE LORD!

Apart from this nothing excitement has happened in the year 2010. But, if it has and I haven’t included apologies to the people who made it happen, you folks know my memory. Adios to you 2010 and thanks for making me a year old and giving me great memories to smile and laugh about. And you Mr. 2011 give me some more memories and people to cherish and haan, help me get a bike! For those who wish to contribute to the Bike Raising Fund, call me.
