Time for some blabbering here
Take a man to a deep forest or some highly isolated place. Leave him there as such for long. Slowly he will loose the sense of age, calendar and time. It isn't inherent or natural.We created so called time and calendar and calculating ages. We run behind it, curse or celebrate. For the universe, nature or whatever we call, the concept of time is infinite or non existent.
Why this lecture now?
There is nothing special in a New year or so. Just YET ANOTHER DAY.
But still as a formal mark I just could not neglect looking back or forward a year.
Was trying to understand why I did not do this all years?
Inference is I usually keep looking back and repenting for my actions and planning and worrying about future day by day or even hour by hour.So never felt like recalling a year or planning , as so called making resolutions.
But this year was quite different.Did quite a few things and lost track , planned few failed or some unplanned events were cherishable.
இரண்டாயிரத்துப் பதிமூன்று - நான் கற்றதும் பெற்றதும்... My Path on 2013.
Friends:
Not much of change. My close circle has remains the same.
Social:
Grew more open. Circle has widened I should say.
Family:
Good side is, I was able to communicate and be open to my parents on my views of life like never. First time I spoke out to them on something of my dreams., I usually dont communicate much with cousins. Esp female ones. Thanks to whatsapp it has totally changed. We stay connected.
Bad side, One of my aunt passed away.
Personal/Passion:
2013 is a mark. Pretty emotional. I bought the camera on January 16th 2013 without even approval from parents. Later told them though. Almost one year. So much of learning and much more to go. This litle light capturing box inspired me to travel more.Did travel too.
Donated blood 3 times. (September, June, March)
Munnar trekking was an achievement in my scale. Read more here
Learnt to neutralize my view on people. Ongoing still. Less judging on them.Got some idea of what not to expect from people in general.A major overhaul in my thinking pattern about relationships.
Got in touch with few NGOs for some grass root work. Though not much of progress, kind of feels good to look back moving with younger unpreviledged ones.
Career:
Last quarter of the year proved to be the best.Undaunted working with interested project. My work being showcased at CES 2014.
Learnt some technical things personally too. Building my own android for my phone. Quite a deep learning curve. Feels good.
Studies:
This went down. MS in cyber physical systems hanging in air. Did not pursue after 2 papers.
Fitness:
Not upto mark. Bought cycle but could not ride regularly.
That concludes. It was mix of good and bad.
Overall I got lesson of life, people and more and more inspired to travel.
Moving onto 2014, not much. Will keep short. All related wishes. I never make it as resolution
1) Fall in shape. Probably am at m peak of my physical ability. Have to grow fit. Fit enough to trek and travel longer.
2) Learn swimming and one foreign language.Probably should start cooking.
3) Visit two countries
4) Complete the Himalayan trek
5) Restart the MS course
6) Read more books
7) To make difference in a tleast in one unprivileged person's life.
8) Mentally get prepared to move out of country for work. Try for possibilities which are readily available in my company.
9) 4 times of blood donation
10) Last but not least and most important. Stay immune to all emotional pull down and turn offs, which has affected my past and has potential to make all my above listed wishes will go null and void.
Major travel plans:
1) Dubai - January.
2) Himalayas Sar pass trek in May
3) July- Ladakh/Leh (Proposed)
4) One island Andaman/Maldives in last quarter.
Just a journal which I shall revisit by the end of the year to see my progress. :) :)
