This is the last blog of 2009. It has been a year which I probably would remember as a very quiet year. Very few events like marriages, engagements happened. On the career front also it has been a quiet year. No big wins. Nothing that would call for opening the champagne. All the same, 2009's most important value is in preparing me for what lies ahead 2010. I have so much invested emotionally in 2010 - career-wise and on the personal front as well.
Family is going to be a big aspect of 2010.
More vacations. Overcoming the travel anxiety and actually traveling abroad is one thing I am keen on.
Health is another aspect I am very keen on. Got to be more passionate about gym workouts and diet and one sport that I am regular and serious about.
Friends - that is another aspect which needs more attention. I feel I need to spend more time on my friends - make those bonds stronger.
Diary - I believe that one's most intimate and personal thoughts are entered into one's diary and regular diary writing is actually a great way to understand one's mindscape as it evolves over the years. I got a brand new diary and I am very keen on writing in it. - (stargate Captain's log... hehee)
Blog more often.
On the career front I am planning to be more aggressive and upfront when it comes to responsibilities and be take up many new challenges and learn. A better dialogue with my manager regarding my goals would also happen in parallel.
Dance - In the month of December I joined Swingers in Indiranagar for Jazz/salsa dance. I am doing pretty well. Keeps me in shape and also gives me one heck of a workout. I plan on continuing this
Details - Ration card, drivers license, IT tax forms etc., are pending. I am going to be more detail-oriented in handling these paperwork which has never been my forte.

I was watching the movie Avatar this afternoon with my sister and dad. we realized that this was the second movie that the three of us had seen together in a movie theater after ben-hur nearly 20 years back! Time flies! We don't live forever and so every breath is precious.

There was a saying in the movie - Every man is born twice. Once at the beginning and twice when he is accepted by his society. This was so meaningful. Will I be reborn in 2010. Will my avatar face 2010. In that case I pass the torch to my avatar tonight and sleep. My work is done> Hence forth I wish my avatar - Godspeed!
