Adieu 2012

Good bye 2012 and welcome 2013. As I look back at the past here, I realize that there have been so many changes in my life.

New job: I started the year with a new job at Adobe. Despite Google being my first love, I absolutely loved my job here. It gave me such a high to be able to create magic with my efforts and have the management look at me with awe. I attended numerous meetings without the slightest fear and always got positive feedback. Nothing can beat the admiration of your colleagues. I got the opportunity to prove to everyone that I am best at what I do. It gave me the much needed confidence boost. Although it was a short stay, it will always stay a memorable experience. 

New country: The BIG move happened mid last year. The entire year saw me and V going crazy making lists and things to do for this move. The planning stage was much more hectic and draining than the actual execution. Nonetheless, it was very exciting. A new beginning to our life!

Travel: Just like 2011, last year was also full of travel. However, 2012 was leisure travel instead of the mad rush for buses and trains like the previous year. I covered Delhi, San Francisco, Coorg, TopSlip, San Diego, Las Vegas!

New hobbies: I started the year with Aerobics and then moved on to Zumba and baking. Throughly enjoyed all of it. Lesson learnt: Food and workout don't go well together. I also chanced up the Silva method and life hasn't been the same. 

Unemployed: The end of the year saw me being jobless for the second time. I didn't complain or feel lonely. Numerous job applications and interview kept me busy. 5 months of not working has made me all the more excited to join a full time job.

I have too many expectations from 2013. I see myself in a dream job, traveling to all the places that I have on my list, getting fitter and healthier and having wonderful friends. I already have a plan in place to achieve all of this. Now to start putting them into action!
