While there is still close to a week left for the year to end, I want to write about the year that has almost gone by because I have started making my new year eve plans. So let's get to the custom of listing it all out.
# Life's second moment of hysteria happened early this year. More emotional stress than I could handle.
# Travelled to Jamshedpur from Pune to meet Shady who used to be
# Met Subhadip in Kolkata
# Started playing badminton after many years
# Travel ventures began with Ajanta and Ellora. And I covered everything from rock sculptures and paintings to river rafting in the mountains to frolicking on a beach on a rainy day to playing under waterfalls in the hills to a quiet lakeside evening to a drive to a beautiful dam followed by an awesome fort as well. A tiny wildlife sanctuary is on my list too. :-)
- So it was a first view of the sea
- A first dip in a river
- A first lakeside moment
- A first waterfall experience
- A first of a dam during rains
- A first walk on clouds in a fort
- AND a first of the wildlife
# Travel to Chandigarh to meet grandparents is definitely a separate point
# Holi brought my first rain dance experience
# Break-up happened and I became my cynical worst after that
# Got the fourth piercings in the ears
# Experienced working with a chauvinist
# It was one of the most volatile years of friendships
# I bought my first dress
# Got drunk for the first time
# Ran a marathon
# Bhaiya got engaged!
# Bought the perfect red saree I had dreamt of for a decade, for bhaiya's wedding
# More of ultrasounds and related crap
# Siddhartha passed away
# Bought a new lens with my own money
# Invested in a photograph for a good cause
# Made a perfect wall
# Dev D's music was one the biggest forms of madness ever!
# And so was Delhi 6
# Missed a flight
# Lived the thrill of having a Costa Coffee in Pune for the longest time!
# I contested and lost elections in college
# Experienced guilt like never before
# My first plant died
# Did political PR
# Voted in general elections for the first time
# Watched somebody I loved fall in love with someone else. Twice over.
# Made a little trip on Delhi's local trains
# Watched way too many movies on my laptop
# Got associated with one of the biggest brands in the world
# Attended a santoor vadan concert of Rahul Sharma's
# Saw Shah Rukh Khan :P
# Started loving peanut butter
# Sinus pains went beyond tolerance levels
# Had a man tell me I'm perfect
# Fell out of love with Nike for Woman
# Watched theatre
# Became more rude, arrogant and intolerant
# Broke my laptop's keypad in anger
# Laughed through many days too.
I am sure I am forgetting more things. I'll come back and update this list. Until then, spend some time in writing out comments. :D

Wow, I haven't been here in the LONGEST time!
Am SO jealous of your travels - geez, all that in one year! :O
You contested elections in college?? We sure have lost touch, haven't we!
Sam to sam for Dev D. Dunno if it helped me through a tough time or made things worse. Either way, even after almost a year, it still strikes a chord with me.
Umm...who's Siddhartha?
Wow! You really are visiting after a long time!
I used to tell people that I am jealous of all the travelling they do. And today I have your comment here. It's really a lot of effort to make it happen, but worth every moment of it. But then I am sure you're doing a lot of other things that I'm unable to do. So. :-)
Hahaa.. yes, a little out of touch. That was in February.
I know what you mean! My experience with Dev D music was similar.
Siddhartha was a friend from school days. He lived near my home.
Again coming here after ages...
But this list is awesome!! Every time the year ends I see a list like that and I wonder how big is the opportunity cost :P
Solid plans to start a new blog this year...let us see!!
Wow! I am honoured. The oldies are coming back. :-)
Hahaa.. somebody's learning their eco, I see.
Looking forward to seeing a new blog from you. Good luck!
