Bye 2005, Welcome 2006

2005. Looking back at it, here is what I wanted to do at the beginning of the year:

So what plans for 2005? Hmm. Lemme think..
1) Have to be serious abt higher studies and by the end of 2005, this plan should get executed successfully.

2) Hmmm. Towards the end of 2004, started taking care of physical health by going to gym.. Should continue that and must be regular..."Commitment" is the word here...
3) Should learn swimming..
4) Should get my DL done...
5) Should learn atleast one foreign language...Why? Just like that!

Ok, enough.. I myself am not sure how much of the above i would be able to complete successfully.
But if 1) is taken care of properly, I would win the award for "Happiest Person 2005".

Now, at the end the year, do I get the award? Yes, sure. I am happy that Item number 1) was taken care of very well. I am satisfied with the progress I made over there.I thank everyone who have helped me with this. Thanks, guys and gals.

What about 2,3,4 and 5? Well,huuh,ummm, I score a perfect zero over there. And thats what I carry over to 2006 now.

What else happened in 2005? Travelling, I did a lot. Kochi, Hogenekkal,Madurai,Hampi,Mysore,Mantralaya,Delhi,Pilani.I went around a lot of places. Was also the year when the mighty RSAS got split :( and I started living alone. Living alone had its own +es and -es. I have experienced both and started adjusting to it.

Succumbed to a new disease called 'Bloghopping' this year. Its a good plague actually. When you feel completely bored and have nothing else to do, browsing through blogs kills time better(!?) than anything else. It was also the Blogdom where I met a few good people this year. First it was Poornima. What do I write about her! One person who never ceases to amaze me. Am not the only one whos a fan of her writing, see her blog for yourself.The list simply grows everyday. One thing that she can do better than many of us is writing. She has promised that if she writes a book in the future, I am going to get the first copy of it signed by her. Have not met her personally yet. Wish that happens in 2006.

Next, Kalaivani Ramea Kubendran. Oops, what a big name.For those who dont know it,'Ramea' is pronounced as in 'Raamiyaah'.Then why her name is not Kalaivani Raamiyaah instead!?.I better dont talk about her name. :) Tatoonies. What do I say about it? How many fan following this lady from LA had, many of us know. It all went till having a "Rasigar Mandram" (Fan Club) for her.Hilarious posts of her made many laugh,laugh and laugh and one post of her was getting forwarded all around the world.Good thing about Poornima and Kalai is that they both have apt pictures for most of their posts. The former googles it up and the later draws them up on her own. Sad that Tatoonies got deleted. One of my wishes in 2006 is that let Tatoonies be back on the blogdom.

Next, Prabhu Krishnamoorthy aka Ferrari. This guy is simply amazing. When my mood is really off, when I am very much frustrated at work, I read his "He-She" posts everytime these days. Wonderful! That changes my mood altogether. I havent tried contacting him, aah, hes in Bangalore only, hope to meet you Prabhu in 2006. I also started writing in Tamil this year after a long time. Thanks to Narayanan, Hariprasad(Ethiri) and Adengappa. They had encouraged me then apart from others I already know.I havent got time to keep in touch with these people.Shall do it in 2K6. And hope to continue making new good friends like these people, in 2006.

What else happened in 2005 in and around me? My uncle got married, brother passed out of college,two of my friends made into IIMs,one went to Germany for his MS. Hmmm, I have to mention about one more person with whom I have a war of words literally, every time when we speak/chat. Meet Mr.Vishnuprasad Ramachandran,Graduate Student, Stanford University. Actually, I have to mention this, he helped me a lot with my goal 1) for this year.So I thank him for that. But, that does not mean that I am going to stop fighting with him. Why do we fight? Just like that, for no obvious reasons. I think that I can play with words and pull down his legs better and he thinks he is the best in this business. So we would continue doing this in 2006.

I have also made a few good friends at work this year. Hope to make more in 2006. At the very end of the year, I have started listening to English music, thanks to my new English teacher. I would write about her and my English class learnings, may be somewhere in the next few posts. I also have to tell Jike about "The Man who sells me Porn". He is a very good friend I made this year.I would try doing that as well in the coming posts. And Jike, its his first birthday tomorrow.I wont be here to wish him when he turns 1. So, here we go:
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Jike
Happy Birthday to you

Plans for 2K6? 2,3,4 and 5 above should be enough. I am confused between French and German when it comes to plan 5. Anybody who can help me with that? And if things go well as I expect it to be, I would be doing a similar post next year from a different time zone. Happy New Year, everybody. Hope it turns out to be a prosperous one for all of you.

Zy... I am touched. That doesn't happen too often- but your words... well, you believe in what you've written and that's the best part.

What do I say? Am glad that I stumbled on Jike one bored afternoon in 2005...Am glad that you decided to mail me... Am glad. That's about it.

@Vishnu:I am not continuing the bickering on this post anymore. Doesnt mean that I am accepting a defeat or what I said above was wrong. I didnt like this thing continuing here on this post. Lets continue it on IM.

@Poornima:I thought you stopped reading me! :) Am glad to see that comment from you as well.A comment from you after a real long time. Thanks for that
