The year that was...

How predictable to sit down and plan ahead...but since I have a penchant for sitting down to write in my morose-frustrated-dull spells, I thought its time for one happy post.

2007 has been wonderful to me...and its nearly time for most to start making their resolution lists. Remember how we've grown up making a BIG deal about New Years??? Till quite recently I believed(and in my heart of hearts perhaps I still do...)that your mood at that magical hour of midnight dictates how the year ahead would be.

Start out sad or angry...and the year ahead makes sure it gives you many more occasions for outbursts and similar displays. Yet, start making merry..stay cheerful...laugh your heart out...smile till the corners of your mouth hurt...and that's what u'll be doing 365 days round :)....simple theory...

So 2007 was the year in which I--
* GRADUATED from B-School
* Survived the Delhi summer..and am very nearly living through the winters ;)
* Found the courage to drive in Delhi peak traffic...FINALLLY!!!!
* Kept accumulating flab and shunned my exercise routine (now this; I plan to change!)
* turned "25" (yes...it was a BIG deal...just the sound of it...)
* took to tea drinking (after years of finicky coffee devotion, delhi winters, N and friends at Airtel helped me refine my taste for the classic Indian beverage...black tea...ginger tea...darjeeling tea...ummm....)
* Believed in "The Secret" and tried to put it to test....and freaked myself out when it seemed to work!...(NO,I have no history of hallucinations!)
* was in 3 accidents and came out unscratched! (NO, I wasn't at the wheel)
* cooked biriyani & chilli chicken for the first time in my life...
* Suddu GOT MARRIED!!!!!!!!....OMG...and Richa celebrated her 1st wedding anniv!!
* Traveled to France and US on VACATION :)
* designed my own investment portfolio (nearly in time...phew!)
* accepted my friends for whatever they were/did...(this took a while and was tough!)

Cheers to an eventful year...and I know for a fact that 2008 will come along drenched in colour and spirit!
2007 has been another beautiful year...a year of learning-hope-love-patience-dreams-ambition-tom-foolery&dedication!

I dedicate 2008 to my superlative family and dependable friends...I have much to smile about!

Welcome 2008!!!...BRING IT ON ;)
