Last year, I was at a friend's on 31st. This year, I was at home, and at exactly 12 AM, I was having dinner with my family. The next day was Eid Ul Azha day, so all of use were at our respective homes, preparing for Eid, and guess what, for our big huge trip to Bandorbon! I will write about the tour separately. But for the time being, let me get back to last year's resolution list once again. I'll remove the old status messages, and replace with new ones. Next thing will be to create a new list for this year. Some of the things in last year's list will be carried over, I guess.
# I’ll learn swimming
I started, but never finished. It's really sad, because I was really enthusiastic about learning to swim. Now it's so bitterly cold that even imagining about getting inside the water makes me scared. I can swim short distances, but I haven't yet learned the trick of breathing under water.
# I’ll go visit Rangamati
Didn't happen. However, I went to Bandorbon instead.
# I’ll propose someone (?!?!)
:-)
# I’ll drink Cognac (!)
I did. The experience was really nice. It's totally different from any other drink I've had so far.
# I’ll start my MBA
I started, and one semester is over. I really had a tough time balancing work, MBA and other stuff.
# I’ll try going abroad
I went to India on a business trip. No imminent plans for permanent departure, though.
# I’ll try to be nicer to my friends
Am I really trying? I don't think so. Actually I've been acting very mean and weird towards my friends lately. If this goes on, I'll be losing a lot of friends in near future. Sad, really sad.
# I’ll be a better child for my parents
I've become an indifferent child. I don't usually face my parents much. I'm either at office, or hanging out with friends, or I'm hiding in my room spending time chatting, listening to music or playing games.
# I’ll become a millionaire (this I believe, will not be possible at all)
lol..what a joke! It's still a joke.
# I’ll buy a car (if I try doing this, number 9 will not happen)
Not this year; not now. Too little too early.
# I’ll get out of my game addiction
Succeeded to a great extent. I can spend days without playing games, and not feeling distressed.
# I’ll be more honest and truthful
Others might be able to tell.
# I’ll write 2/3 more stories
I kinda gave up writing :(
# I’ll read all the books from Harry Potter series
This is done. The first resolution to be completed.
# I’ll try to have a 3.8+ CGPA in my MBA
I dunno, haven't yet checked the grades. Will be damn challenging.
# I'll lose some weight and I'll do regular exercise
Didn't happen. Will it ever happen? I lost many things due to this, and I hear the most comments about me being bulky.
I did lose some weight, but no regular exercising
# No more procrastination!
This thing never gets away totally. I can only minimize it to some extent.
I am quite happy with this year. I am very surprised to see that I didn't have any work related resolutions (apart from the procrastination one) in the list. Interestingly, many good things happened to me through work this year. I launched three major projects; which are not only major for me, but also very important for the company I am working in. My boss once showed me an email from the CEO which listed the top 5 priority projects for the company, and the first 4 projects were mine! I let go of one project, but the other 3 was launched successfully.
I shouldn't be bragging, but I think I am a very important member of the Marketing team now. I also received the "Marketer of the Month Award" in December for my achievements. This award is given out to someone from the team every month. All the members of the marketing team casts their votes, and the winner is decided on the basis of total votes.
Many of my IBA friends got married this year. In fact, most of them are married now. These are the people who are at par with me in terms of career advancement. Some of them are ahead, some are behind, some are at par. So I should compare my life with them more, instead of doing so with my school and college friends, whom passed a lot later than me, and a few of them just started working.
So I guess I should start thinking about getting married, too. I know I can delay this for a couple of more years, but do I really need to? From the looks of things, I might very well need to resort to the classic arranged marriage thingy.
Let's see what happens. I'll soon post my 2007 resolution list, and I'll start writing the tour blog as soon as I can get hold of the pictures.
Till next time, adios!
