Last year

Today is the special day for me! Hence I thought like giving a thought on my past year.

Incidents happened to me:
1)First time I left home. :)

2)Exactly one year ago I had completed one day in my first project. I had got my first assignment. Yes, it is obvious to mention that here. I had realized badly that I had wasted my 4 years in college. I should have performed well and all. I had got a pretty nice shock that I don't know anything. :)

3)I got my (not first) salary.

4)My world changed drastically. Pranali who was all the time surrounded by atleast 4 people was all alone now. Loneliness teaches a lot!

5)For the first time the atmosphere around me (where I lived) didn't affect me at all, though it was not what I had wanted. It still doesn't. So now I want it. :D

6)First 4 months in Amdocs: My first project. I'm very very much grateful that I got that project and those people around me.

7)Reading became my hobby. I have read so much in the past year I had never read even 10-15% of it in any of the previous years. I should/could have read still much more.

8)I stopped liking bollywood's craps. Thanks to Sharan for giving me "The Kite Runner" to read.

9)Learned/learning to debate....

10)I got to observe people whom I'd like to copy. I feel no harm/shame in copying the things they do if I really adore their attitude and the things they do.

10)I stopped writing poems (by other poets), songs in my diary which was my all time favorite hobby. Very bad! I will start it again.

11)I realized that I can't leave my Mumbai at all.

12)I have started liking computers more and more.

***

Things which didn't change:
1)My weight. :D

2)I still didn't get back my interest in watching TV. Bad! :(

3)I'm still emotional.

4)I'm still away from jewellery, thinking about cloths, etc etc. Good for me, but not for my mother and sister. ;)

And there must be many things. I don't remember. :)

***

Books that I read :
1)The Kite Runner
2)Who moved my cheese?
3)How to mind map
4)The last lecture
5)Brida
6)What nobody ever told you
7)A "The Hardy Boys"
8)Race Against Time (by Enid Blyton I guess) Don't remember


There's a lotttttttttttttt to read!

Thanks again :)

I don't remember the name of the writer. But it is not definitely by Piers Anthony. The one I read is a kiddish book. I have given it to my cousin. I'll check.
