Two months are about to end in 2009 and I was suddenly made to take a walk back and reminisce on the memories of 2008… and as I remembered each moment, each achievement, each happiness, each sorrow of 2008, I thought of putting that onto my blog. After all, that’s where my ‘Reflections’ over Life was supposed to be placed …
Now most of readers would be wondering and eager to know the heartening event that took me back to the past !!!
The trigger was a mail from my HR Department that I need to submit my Appraisal form to my Supervisor by end of the month !!! That means, I had to jot down every single little achievement that I did during the entire FY 2008-09 without mentioning the mistakes that I made.. (I think my mistakes would be in my Appraiser’s Appraisal form as to what all mistakes he found out !!)
Anyways, lets leave the work-part aside as I don’t want to discuss work at blog !! Overall, the year 2008 treated me quite well… or should I say, pampered me quite well !!
2008 was a year when I got two Promotions !! One at Office work-place and another more importantly, moving onto to new phase of life… Moving on from bachelordom to marriage !! Most part of the year was spent thinking about the pre-marriage plans, wedding arrangements, travel plans etc etc .. and had fun planning it !!!
2008 was a year when I had my frequent visits overseas.. Madrid seemed to be second home… It was boring at times and felt lonely and home-sick .. but then, looking back now, it appears to have some wonderful moments of exploring a new place on the Mother Earth..
2008 was a year when I started blogging… I am not sure whether I can say that I did justice to the blogger’s world by being here.. Not been active as much … but then, better be something than nothing..
2008 was a year with failed resolutions !! Except starting a blog, I was not able to complete any of the other resolutions !! As a result, my 2009 resolutions list starts with an Opening Balance of unfinished (or rather, un-started resolutions of 2008)… Hope to do work out seriously in that respect..

Now, 2009 started off well and the last two months have been really great ….
Achievements of 2009 :

2) Participating and completing the Half-Marathon (21.097 km) – Wanted to make a statement to prove my fitness .. not to anyone but to Myself .. (Another one from 2008 done with!!)
3) Enrolled for a Gym !! (This one, I have been doing from last many years and like all those years, I have had just 7 training sessions till time of the post!!)
There are many many more moments for 2009 ..but I guess, I will stop now and get back to writing my Appraisal form which has better chances of me getting some salary raise or justifying my current levels!!
