I may be giving my blog the step motherly treatment but I couldn't stay away from doing my traditional year end post.
2012 started slow. Content would have been a good description. And suddenly I was forced to make decisions. Decisions that I didn't like and decisions that could have long term implications. Though at that moment I cursed all my stars and hated the world. Looking back now am grateful for that chaos which woke me up from slumber and pushed me towards better things. A little jolt now and then apparently does no one any any harm.
Mid year saw me take a new job. New roles new environment and new people. And the whole rigamarole of adjustment. As with many things moving to a new job made me appreciate little things I left behind. I missed my crazy colleagues who made Monday mornings bearable. Which I never appreciated when I was on the job.
Travel wise the year was good I can say. I got to visit my friend's quaint cocoa estate in Nilambur. The perfect weekend getaway. In August I visited the United States after four years. I never thought I would say this but I missed that place. And no, not just the malls. That multi faceted country continues to amuse and amaze me.
I had to do a blink and miss me trip to Sri Lanka. Something I hope to recitify in 2013. And finally in December I visited the amazing Indonesian islands. A separate post coming up on that.
2012 was not too eventful but definitely not one of my best years. For the first time in my life I had serious regrets and wished I could have stayed back in 2011. But then like Adele says mistakes and regrets are memories made. Happy new year people. Bring it on 2013!
