Good Bye 2013 & Hello 2014!!

So...it has become a "tradition" now to post a blog entry at least on the 1st of each year - with a Hope that this becomes a regular habit through the year. However as every year passes by that has remained just that - a hope!! 

The last few weeks has been extremely busy on many fronts. On the work front I got a contract signed with my very first "new" customer or NN as they call in sales parlance. It was an exciting journey starting from wooing a prospect in a conference totally out of the blue to convincing them to sign up for one of the services I sell. It is a small deal - but nevertheless my First Deal. 

On the personal front I've never been as busy as the last few weeks starting from kids' birthdays to weekend outings almost every weekend. So much that I simply could not catch up to write about it (got to give myself some excuse!!). The holiday season has been quite busy as well. Have seen a few places around Sydney for the first time. Kids have been having a great time - mostly water oriented fun. The New Year's eve was eventful with a trip down to Parramatta river for an early evening fireworks and then followed by a small gathering in a friend's place to watch THE Sydney fireworks on TV. 

2013 has been quite exciting in many ways for sure. A life changing milestone of getting Aussie passports. That does open up quite a few avenues for personal and professional development. The biggest event of course is the trip to India. A long pending wish that got realized. It was also the year with many international trips to Muscat and China. Having my mother-in-law stay with us for a few months has been a great boon. Literally enjoying the best of both worlds. Can't omit reinstating my long lost hobby of photography. 

If I were to summarize 2013 - it has been a year of revelation. Got to understand and learn many things that were quite puzzling until then. I suppose I've just scratched the tip of whatever mystery it is - a long way to go for sure. Every year I begin with a premonition (in a positive way) of many exciting things to come through the year. 2014 does seem to keep up with the trend.

Wishing you all a Terrific and Effective 2014!!

Cheers
