The last year's post ended (or began this year's post??) with "2012 seems quite interesting in many many ways. Let's see how it goes..." Not sure I remember what I had in mind then, but it truly has been quite interesting. There were quite a few "firsts" that I experienced this year, some of I wrote about, some I could not - but all good (well... mostly good). :-)
I see that as the years go by am becoming more and more irregular in writing a post here. As always - easy to blame on so many things but serves no purpose. A quiet Friday evening at home with the little one sleeping and the girls out to the park. May not get another chance like this before this year ends. :-)
For one, the social life has been the busiest this year in Sydney - thanks to a bunch of great friends. In fact the last 2 months has been quite hectic with some event or the other happening every weekend. It even reached a point where a trip to the city for shopping turned into a 100 km ride up to Central Coast all of a sudden. Nandhitha's classes did add up a bit to our "busy"ness. We truly look forward to those school breaks when most classes take a break as well.
I guess I've been most active on FaceBook this year compared to the last few years I've been online. So many interesting people to be attributed for that. I now force myself many times not to comment get into a conversation. Some people still manage to tickle my fingers ;-) Definitely something to be controlled for future.
Professionally it has been a mixed bag year with ups and downs. Getting into business development gave (and continues to give) me a whole new perspective on a wide range of things. It's been a learning almost every day. Professional network exploded - thanks to LinkedIn and the complimentary forums and meetups. Hopefully they all add up to something materialistic. Trips to India, Shanghai, Muscat and recently Manila did add up to the "interesting"ness quotient for this year.
Coincidentally this week marks the completion of 150 weeks of Sydney Stories!! Oh what a ride.... :-)
Hopefully I do better next year with catching up with you all via the blog or otherwise more frequently.
Thanks again for a wonderful year!!
Wishing you all a Very Happy 2013!! Wishing you the best of health, wealth and spirits!!
Regards

p.s.: Glad that I could make this post in one sitting. ;-)
