News from the past and present

I recently saw a cartoon saying that New year is what makes each of us renewed. So it’s a brand new me in this new year then. Some people make resolutions..even I used to make them but then now I am back to basics of not knowing what a resoultion is. New year for me has sprung new definitions. It’s the start of renewed personality or come to think of it…renewed energy. Good thought and I like the way one can brandish onself as new with the new year. Anyways so the 2009 went and 2010 started.

2009 went with a bang and 2010 started with louder bang (in its truest sense). 2009 was the year of achievements and some very pleasant surprises and dreams coming true. We got out house in Leeds after desperate search for it for the past six months. Being so picky definitely has its own perils and for us (me and Mayank) being picky becomes epitome of ifs and buts and calculations and possibilities. Well after deliberation and luck and of course god's grace, we got the property we liked and moved into it in November. I started with my job just around that time which also was a good news for me..finally into the system and making a move in professional life. Recession hit hard on all of us in 2009 but then it was a like a cloud with silver lining. I visited my best friend's wedding in Chennai in 2009 and it was the time that I travelled to India just a single trip in 2009. In 2010 I am sure to go there twice at least!!. Made some great friends in London and in Leeds and had the house full during Diwali and Christmas time. Celebrated Diwali with Mayank in our own house in York for the first time and missed the fun and fanfare of Diwali of India.

2010 started with a banga yes with a bang definitely. We visited Paris which will take another blog entry to explain and then had a lovely time in freezing cold out there in the first week of January. My birthday was celebrated on the London Eye and in the Ping Pong restaurant and had a good time talking to friends and family alike on that day. Rocky start in 2010 with lots of things happenning in personal life like Mayank meeting with an accident and his car damaged, my lapto broken and not working but these are all the minor things come to think of it. Mayank is fine and so is our family and friends and that’s what matters in any year and new year.
