2008: The year gone past

Hello fellow bloggers and readers,

I have got myself a machine and access to Internet yet again... finally. :)
There's so much I have to talk about, there's so many things to be said... but i don't know why i feel at a loss of words. I hope i haven't lost my touch. I'm definitely rusty from the idleness, and i hope to recover from this writer's block very soon.

2008 - When we were children, we would think that by this year we'd be living in space age. I for one sure felt that way. But now that we've lived in it and have come even further, it doesn't really feel we're progressing as fast as we imagined.

The last year was very eventful... for the country, the world, and for me.

My first close experience with a terror attack (I was not in it, and was not personally affected by the attack, but knowing that it was happening around me, and watching television as it went on for more than 2 days, as we kept losing so many people to the terrorists as time went by was utterly disturbing. Not going to work because we don't know if there are any terrorists going around the city.. made me a different person in many ways), My first job switch, first recession - and the realization that there can arrive a situation where I'll lose my job, first transfer (within the city, and for better), first flat (no i did not buy one, just took up a rented one... that is a long way to go. Sigh!), first television (now this I did buy :D), First Fraud (that was a big shock), First Roomie fight (don't even get me started on that one), first housemaid hunt, first time that i paid Diwali bonus :D... So many firsts. Extreme highs and extreme lows. But if I look at my life at the end of this year as against in the beginning... it has only changed for better in every way and taught me the ways of life. So far, this has been the most significant year of my life.

I look forward to a good year ahead for each one of us, and to be back in blogosphere.

Regards,
Devil's Own
