This year has been exceptionally good.

Professionally speaking, I’ve never been so proud of myself. I took over a sinking project, stabilized it and even released new modules. From the organization’s perspective this application is essential and hence I was and still in radar of the top guys of the organization. It is one thing to work hard and another to be recognized for it. This year I was given the department award. In addition, one of my team member got it. And I’ve recommended the other one. So far there is no contest for the award and hope she gets it.

The whole work setting is perfect – understanding boss, appreciative clients, co-operative team, satisfying job and topping all, I got recognized.

Also through-out the year, I mingled with the team well and am glad about the balance that I maintained with all.

Even personally, I changed for better in few aspects. Beginning of the year, I broke my shell and went out on a department team event. Though I avoided subsequent events, this trip was a major change in my personality (In the 12 years of experience, I would’ve been in 2 or 3 group trips!).

I managed to travel to Malpe, Hampi and Madikeri. For the first time here in India, I drove that far (to Madikeri). I would’ve liked to travel more, but time and other constraints didn’t permit me.

I went on a work-out schedule and the results are positive.

And am I forgetting something here? Oh! yes, I got married. Yes. That was a huge change in my otherwise introvert personality.

As one can see, I am finishing the year with a positive note. No other year I have been so positive and enthusiastic.

As much as it is positive, it is hard to let go something so wonderful.
