Well, I’m back .. Life’s been keeping me busy on the sidelines… Anyways my 2006 in restrospect …
This year was pretty phenomenal for me perhaps ‘cos it held some nice times for me – not limited to a company switch (ahh the money), admission to a world class MBA program, hooking up with some friends of my yester years … yada yada yada
‘06 was spent mostly with Uncle Sam, debating about the virtues (and maybe vagaries) of global wars, fuel price hikes, Smirn Off’s inebriating capabilities and why am a darn enigma to the female race …:D The last one’s kinda been a perennial one, but heck I like to keep it in my woe book every year (more like every time that ’strutting ma goodies bomb shell’ sneaks a glance at me and gives up that ‘puzzled look’) … Here’s what kept this mallu going … [The Answer to the Question of "Life the Universe and Everything associated with mallu men and their travails in woman land"]
Woes aside … 2006 did give me some real upsides on the work front with promotions to the ‘league of excel peddling gentlemen’, ‘billing man’ … the works. Yeah I did manage to make the Indian School of Business admission committee accept me to their MBA ish program …
Am in that place where most junta with work experience find themselves some years down the line … incidentally I get to leave ‘all this’ behind after almost 5 years (man I seem so old already !) to get back to school … really looking forward to the opportunities post MBA (dun they all …over zealous : youthinks)
One thing I’m just coming to terms with, is the move out of this place Uncle Sam calls the Bay Area … For those uninitiated souls …its essentially … mmm …. uhhhh …. ahhh … an area around a bunch of bays !!! (youthinks… this nut job is gonna do an MBA… and help run some big shot corporate …God Help Us All !!) Sad jokes aside, this place is a cultural paradise – its a heaven for those of us who have lived in places like Texas where all we get to see is wide expanses with specks of software companies (not to miss the occasional mustang) and beautiful southern belles swinging around bars to songs like “Sweet Home Alabama” ….:D Well a few more months here… gonna enjoy it as much as I can …
As usual … no plans for New Year Eve or Day for that matter … the price you pay when you lose your friend circle. Me will be the designated driver for my friends drunken ventures at some SF joint … hope to oggle till all I can see is tweety …
Happy Holidays folks … and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year to all …
