So, its that time of the year when i typically feel very happy and enthusiastic ! It would help though to sum up the last year succinctly.
What i DID this year
- Fresh from sister's marriage, buzzing with enthusiasm and the charm of working with the topmost luxury car maker of the world, I started 2016 on a very high note.
- My new job at the new office was cool and well received. Its a good place to work apart from some of the mediocre, highly paid people who do not offer any learning opportunity. However, I am proud to work for a company which is Number 16 on Fortune Global 500 list !
- I gifted myself a new home to live. I moved very closer to office and friends. The side-effect: I get up at 7.30 am now compared to 6 am earlier. Hahaha..!
- I made two long car trips in 2016. The first one to Yercaud which was my second outing after 2014 and to Avalabetta and Lepakshi Temple. I had a nice time zooming on highway at very high speeds. Sadly no long bike trips this year😞
- Finally, i flew to Germany which was like a dream come true. I got goosebumps in the same manner as when i sat in the airplane for the very first time. Flush with lot of free corporate Euros, i shopped like hell. For the first time in my life, i shopped for two expensive ladies handbags for the ladies back home who were much charmed to receive them ! Chalo bach gaye :P The only problem remaining now: How to gift that expensive bottle of single malt to dad while avoiding mom's fury 😜 The funny part of the trip happened on the day when while listening to good music at Vapiano and talking to the charming lady at the bar, i lost track of time there and ended gulping many fine craft beer mugs! The bill was 55 euros 😝😜 I roamed the Stuttgart streets at -7 degrees and mostly during evenings after office. Good memories to cherish.
- It is wrong to trouble parents for not marrying. They fall ill 😢😢
- By drinking small quantities of finely brewed craft beer, your mouth showers words of wisdom to listeners😜
- Make money your friend so that you avoid being its slave. Earn well and spend lavishly on yourself and others. Automate and save a small part for emergencies...(and again spend it later 😝😝)
- You write the best of poems when exposed to a Godly combination of late night and Scotch Whisky.
- Phone a forgotten friend. They appreciate it.
- Never shop at the last moment. You realize your mistake when your credit card bills run upwardly of 50 thousands 😓
- Buy random, unexpected gifts for the women in your life. They go mad over it.
- Lastly, do not pray for your old love to God. He usually does not listen 😝😝
- There is no plan. Life starts with and ends in a zilch. All plans fail. The only plan that remains is that of today. Today is the only day.
- When in office, Create like God, Command like a King and Work like a slave.
- When not in office, drink like a fish, eat like a pig and jog like a dog.
- Make one last attempt to the person you love with complete honesty. If it fails, then get married to the one with the best b**bs 😍😉
