My first entry of 2011... hmmm... Have been away for sometime, 3 weeks to be precise. A few have asked me the reason for my absence. I just needed some time off to think of a new way to do this and hence the sabbatical. And after giving it a lot of thought, I have come to the conclusion that I no longer want to share as much as I have in the fast few months. Though I would like to blog regularly, the current situation does not allow me to do so. I have also decided that the topics will be a little less personal. I have realized that just as I have appreciated some friends read my posts and enquire about them, I have been equally uncomfortable with the fact that a few strangers have been reading them. I had not realized how I would feel about this fact when I started writing, but now I exactly know how it feels. So from now on, the posts will be a little different. I have also realized that some of the topics I write about are prone to judgement. Given the fact that, I am not always the best at conveying my thoughts, there are times when a topic, read without the reader not really knowing how I am, might be misinterpreted. And of course it also means that the readers would jump to conclusions about me :) I don't give shit about those who don't know me and those who do, won't. But those who I would like to know and who might are the ones I am a little concerned about.

2010 was an eventful year, there were things that went my way, there were things that didn't. But I loved the experience either ways. If I look back to January 2010, I would say that I am in a much better place now, both as a person and in life. The year was packed with lessons to be learnt. My real friends stood by me through all my highs, lows and stupidities :). Discovered some new people and rediscovered a few. My family has always been my strength and they continued to be so. Except one thing, I think I have kept up to my folks' expectations. Career has been decent. I have moved on. There are a lot of things to do, a lot to prove. I continue to follow my Dad's talisman about concentrating on the work and not on what you would get from it.

Like all, I expect good things out of 2011. My resolutions are not in place yet but it started off on a good note, with one of my closest friends getting hitched (ummm... I mean engaged) and the reunion of the 3 stooges :). With an extremely packed schedule all through out January, its gonna be rocking, atleast thats what I hope :) Now ideally I would have written more about it but according to the new plan of action, I won't :D

So thank you for coming back and reading, do come back again :) just don't expect the same stuff. Let's say I am evolving with absolutely no idea whether you would like what I evolve into. Happy New Year!!
