Happy last day of 2009!!!!

Its that time of year when all news portals are listing the events of year and a few gone a step ahead and started listing events of decade.. I am not sure a decade has to be counted from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 or simply 1 to 9.. :)
Anyway I thought why don't I sign off this year by listing events/incidents of year from my own life.. :)

1. Jan: Celebrated new year's @ Edinburgh hogomony.. 4th time in a row, was pretty much sure its not going to recur in 2010 :(
2. Jan: Landed in India after 18 months in Jan 09 and have to bribe customs guys Rs5000 to get my new Sony Vaio into India as I am already holding a company provided laptop. Well its Desi 'ishtyle' welcome :(
3. Feb: Visited my home town and also visited a few tourist attractions of my district. Well it took me 27 years to see probably the best symbols of Srikakulam :)
4. Mar: Went on kodaikanal tour.. Thanks to Adarash.. Its a life turning trip for two in the group :)
5. Apr-May : Drowned in F&O trading.. loss on par with 2 months savings in UK. Though was happy to see Manmohan Singh getting a thumping victory :¬
6. Jun-Jul : mediocre months of Year with i-race role change, work life is not looking that exciting either :(
7. Aug: Got transfer to Chandigarh, moved out of RBS account and joined NBS account... Painful departure from an account that i was associated with for more than 5 years... :¬
8. Sep: Visited Shimla, so close to Himalayas but still so far.. @Shivalik hill range only... Mall road of Shimla rocks.. :)
9. Oct: Finally visited Himalayas... Kullu - Manali - Rothang Pass - and ofcourse para gliding.. Fully satisfied with the trip.. No regrets from chandigarh transfer after manali tour even the UK opportunity failed to realise.. :)
10. Nov: Had Dalailama cancelled his japan visit Dharmashala trip could have been perfect... Infy revised salaries post i-race role change.. highly disappointed.. :(
11. Dec : Finished Chandigarh trip ( Paid holiday???) and back in Bangalore and back into RBS account.. Silver lining of the year though is 2nd hike in a recession year ??@$@£@"£? :¬

Happy last day of year 2009..

Hope I and 'you' have more :) in 2010 than :( and :¬ .......
