(L to R) Siddheswara Swamy Temple in Solapur, Mahabalipuram, Coorg, Mauritius, Undersea walking, Bathukamma
The Chinese name their New Year. For example, 2015 is the Year of Sheep. I thought of naming the old year, based on my experiences.
For me, 2014 is the Year of Patience. 2014 has taught me that my
predictions about future have a 50-50 % chance of occurrence.
As a recent graduate, I was used to routine. I knew the schedule of exams, when they take
place, what is the syllabus etc. I could also guess the outcome of the exam. I realized that in
life, the date of exams and the syllabus is unpredictable. I will be
tested when I least expect it. I cannot guess the topic of the test nor the outcome.
I am thankful for all the places that I visited this year. Each place
had something to take away.
In February, my hubby and I visited
our relatives in Mumbai & Solapur.
In April, we went to Coorg. I
experienced homestay for the first time. I understood that homestays are decent.
In August, we visited Mauritius. I
learned about overcoming fear. I did parasailing, undersea walking and
almost touched a Lion.
In November, I went to Fisherman’s
Cove and Mahabalipuram on a team offsite. Now that our team has a critical mass
of women, I discovered the sisterhood of working women.
In December, I went to Delhi for a conference. The food in Delhi is out of this world. I will do a week long
historical and food trip in Delhi, sometime in future.
I am thankful for the wonderful time I spent with my husband and my
family.
I am thankful for my new writing
project. I took the decision of
splitting the blog based on the number of hits I got for posts. One blog will be dedicated to my stories and other to my life
experiences.
I will start 2015 with a new
blog site.
Thanks to my hubby for buying a
domain in my name (hint). I bought a blog theme on wordpress. I thought the old
posts will magically reorganize themselves as per the theme. They did not! It took
a lot more effort than I expected, but I thoroughly enjoyed the process of
creating a new home from scratch.
I am sad about the accidents in general, on road and by air.
A few accidents happened to
people who are close to me. I pray that they will have the strength to come out
of these tough situations.
Ciao!
