Year Wrap Up

The year 2012 has been a mixed one for me. I had travelled a lot during this year, especially those on adventure trips. Chikmangalur with Todd and the most amazing trekking trip to kudremukh. I still dont  realise the fact that I had trekked 20 kms at a stretch and since it was a mountain the 10 km uphill looked more like 30km in itself. I had sprained my leg twice but still managed to walk as I knew that there was no help available. The highlight of the trek was I was able to see the "sambar" (deer) in their home and came across new friends , credits to Raghu for that. The home stay there was wonderful and the food was just amazing. Apart from this trip , myself Prabu , his better half and Santhosh went to Nandi hills and ranganathittu bird sanctuary. Nandi hills among them was special because of the climate. Full of fog around we felt we were surrounded with clouds.

This was the year I changed to a new room cause Prabu got married and yeah I went to Tirunelveli and Madurai to attend the marriages of Prabu and Sankaran respectively. I was on a shopping spree this year which I would like to reduce during the upcoming year and I went ahead to buy my New Nike shoes, Original  ManU cap, Arrow sweatshirt among the few.

2012 was the year I took the most number of medical leaves and I pray that I do not overtake this in the upcoming years. I had to go through tremendous pain due to bad tooth. A separate post is availabel on it.

My sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in Saudi and so my mom made her first visit in flight. We were a bit tensed about her travel but she reached comfortably and these days I see her through skype, all thanks to technology.

I was quite regular to the club and had a good time playing TT and infact I had improved the scale. I went on to play doubles with prabu to reach quarters and we would have made it to the end unless stopped by the winners themselves. And in singles lost to Joy again for the second year but this time the match was so close and interesting. I was happy with the way I served and the way I played in general. Although the year started normally , it ended on a bang with me participating in GTN jingle with my friends. Our team was named "Trailblazers", when no one expected us to perform good , we finished second. We were infact leading till the last day, with dirty politics playing and spoiling our party. I participated in fashion show with a complete new make over and I was appreciated for the attitude I carried, we received the second place for that . We also got the second place in GTN got Talent where we performed a  mime. Everyone appreciated our effort and they loved it. I was  a bit disappointed that we did not get any recognition for the mad ads which was by far one of the best I have seen. It was creativity at its best and we composed everything in half an hour just before the show. However am happy that this time I was able to showcase my talent outside MSTR .

Went to attend cousin's marriage in Kerela and thus spending my new year eve in a train. I do not regret it cause everyday is special and I have always another day to wish everyone a Happy New Year. This was the year the Mayans went wrong and we survived the 21-12-12 jinx. I hope I will have good years to follow with less pain and more happiness.
