2011: Looking back, Looking Forward

I survived 2011 and am very much alive and kicking :)

Company progressed to full commercial level with a 5MT/month plant.

We became a multi-million dollar market cap company, which got a lot of media this year.

Became a lot fitter at 80 kg.

Learnt about my BP and heart condition and had some events throughout the year.

Have become more self-aware and learnt to manage my condition. :)

Quit smoking completely and cut down on drinking :)

In all adopted very healthy lifestyle.

Found time for myself, managed my time, energy and efforts better.

Learnt to be more patient, lively and less worried.

Became calmer, more thoughtful and mindful.

More content with what i have with less focus on possessions. Could get away without buying a car. ;)

Attracted a lot of women and realized that i could talk to really attractive women at will.

Read some great books and blogs: Zen Habits, Prize, Managing for results, 4 Hour work week, Ascent of Money, Epictetus.

Traveled a lot: Chandigarh, Bangalore, Pune, Thailand, Barreilly, Rohtak and Bombay

Wore some good clothes, visited coffee shops often, and lived a good life.

Met my friends often, sometimes flew to meet them. Had an awesome time in Bangalore.

Enjoyed Rishi's, Cheti's, Rishabh's, GG's and DJ's wedding.

Had some great one-on-one conversations with Khera, Sharma, DJ, Sareen, GG, Rishi, Mishra, Bhatia and Don. And equally great ones with Bhabhis.

Learnt some great lessons:
  • 'tell it as it is',
  • 'live in day tight compartments',
  • 'Wealthy is a person who has time and money'
  • 'Act without expectations'
  • 'Breathe, smile and go slow'
Spent good time with parents. Helped them transition to a post retirement life.

Met interesting people, helped the underprivileged and became generous.

& finally,

Found someone to spend my life with. :)

Quite an year!!!
