2007 : The year that was !

It is time to bid adieu to 2007. Just thought of recollecting some things about the year this was.. totally random insane musings ..

It was definitely a 007 style bond year and I dont know why I get this feel that it was a good year for most of the people I know :) .. Thanks 2007 for spreading joy and happiness around.. For some of my friends it was the year they got married : Chirkut, Hemant and they entered into a new phase of life .. For some it was the year they passed out with their PGDBM's and joined the bandwagon of corporate world : Lappa,Nilesh,Fugga,Hemant and other IIT M batchmates. For me , it was another year with another new job (I just hope there is not another job change is in store for me in 2008). It was the year in which I started my matrimony fite with full steam. I purchased paid membership plans of Jeevansaathi and Punjabimatrimony.com. It was the year when I moved back to Bangalore which bought an end to my short stint at Delhi. It was the year when my nephew Harsh celebrated his first B'day. It was the year when I almost decided to quit my job and thought of doing something of my own. Mondaya dream is still afloat.. It was the year when I stayed mostly out of equities ( and didnt make or lose much money).. It was the year when I thought of sueing a company cause they didnt pay me my last month salary till almost 3 months after quiting the company..It was the year when Raka, Daddy, Pocha and Myself had those wonderful talks about the things can be done.. those discussions.. those mails on We_will_do_it ! .. It was the year Budget policy changes on Cement pricing and MAT for infrastructure companies made my portfolio nosedive that day and for next some days .. It was the year when everybody paid so much attention to what Fed has to say in their next meeting.. What will they do with interest rates in America.. It was the year when Subprime Shock hit the financial markets across the world.. and pushed US towards a recession...It was the year Sensex achieved 20K mark .. It was the year I made a small F & O trade for the first time in my trading history .. It was the year I tried some more sitcoms : scrubs.. futurnama .. It was the year which made its begining with myself totally out with booze and watching a movie in a PVR in Faridabad with Sumit, Sunil and Raka .. It was a year when I went to a trip to Nainitaal and Jim Corbett Park .. And that Transwitch trip to Ranthambhore in Rajasthaan .. It was the year which taught me so many lessons on Professional and Personal front and made me a better person in the end .. In the later part of this year I stopped reading ET (Why, I dont know.. just slipped into background ?) .. time to get back to it in 2008 .. It was the year I didnt write CAT :) and took a break ! .. It was an year when I made some new friends in Bangalore and I must say I am lucky to have found people like them in my life.. It was the year when everybody in world said : Chak De India with Indian economy on a roll .. !!!
