I wanted to put in what had changed in 2011 in comparison to the previous years. But there isn't much that I could think off as of now.
There is something that is become clear to me. My ability to write blogs seems to be eroding as I am not able to use the right words to convey the message crisp and short. The last sentence had 29 words - speaks for itself. Blame it on my vaporization from the blogging world for almost half an year. And I also believed the writing and speaking are separate arts which do convolute at times. But what I am discovering is I am just writing my mind here rather presenting a thought in a manner that appeals better to the reader.
Ok – Let me give this a shot and see how long the list goes.
1) Had our first official school get together. IT WAS FUN.
2) Went for a expensive vacation for the first time. IT WAS FUN TOO.
3) Dealt with a financial organization to get a loan processed all on my own – Sounds small, but trust me it was difficult.
4) Got my first smartphone – Am still in love with it.
5) Bought my wife a smartphone as well – Hope she is still in love with it. Or else I would have the same entry next year.
6) Learnt Poker.
7) Made some good new friends.
8) Watched some movies in theatre – Hardly go for movies – Highlight was MI4.
9) Went to Shirdi to fulfill an old promise.
10) Experienced the Delhi winter for a week.
11) Attended atleast 3 weddings - The amazing coincidence is the fact that all were equally boring. Some things don’t change.
12) Played Carrom after years. Brought back memories when my brother used to thrash me out. It wasn’t any different this time. Just that it was my wife sitting across the table.
13) Mentally thought of being physically fitter; hmmm still thinking about being fitter.
14) Filled a few forms and realized that my handwriting has gone from bad to worse – Blame the laptops.
15) My quantitative abilities seem to be weakened significantly. It took me 30 seconds to calculate 35*56 =1960, which would have otherwise be less than 10 seconds. Man I hate these systems. I have become a slave to them.
16) Watched Kalaripayattu (Form a martial art in southern India) for the first time.
I give up. This is all I could manage to pen down. God – Writing has become difficult.
Some questions linger unanswered still.
1) Still haven’t figured out whether Justin Bieber is guy or a girl.
2) How do hikes of vegetable prices stay ahead of Inflation rates always?
3) Will petrol prices reach hundred first or would Sachin (aka GOD) hit his next century?
4) Does GOD know when GOD would his century of centuries?
5) What would be the next attire of Lady Gaga? Let me guess – scuba gear with a crown on top…
6) Would Nostro’s predictions come true…
We have an entire year ahead of us to answer these questions. Feel free to drop in your questions too and lets do a recap later on how they fared.
