Another milestone crossed
I crossed another milestone in my life. Every year, I try to think of such days as landmarks and assess what happened in the previous year. So here are my thoughts over the past 12 months:
- Visited quite a few places - the Bay Area, Singapore, Genting, Malaysia, Pondicherry, my home-town village in Tirunelveli Distt, Copenhagen.
- Changed my name.
- Made one major move from Bangalore to Singapore.
- Did not lose as much money in the recession as I thought I would. My stock market investments were just sold last week for a 10% profit. Not bad, eh?
- Survived two rounds of layoffs at Yahoo!
- Started using a MAC.
- Met at least one schoolmate, one college mate, one IITK mate - so still kept in touch with my old friends.
- Depps brainwashed me into joining the green brigade - became conscious of the seriousness of the matter. Hoping to see more material developments in the next 12 months.
- Understood how royally screwed I am with my non-market investments and started working on it (and realized that its going to be a multi year effort to fix it :-)
- Tried selling a house and failed in doing so.
- Started tweeting on a regular basis.
