Welcome 2010

Wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New year :)

The previous year was all turmoil and trauma. Lost my job, four months of dilemma, death of my cousin. It had it all. There were moments of joy too, but the losses were irrevocable. 2010, brings with it lot of hope. The yearning for a better year, hoping that 2009 would be the worst year in my life (I sincerely do hope!!!).

I wish to dedicate this post to listing out the few highlights of last year.
  • Jan 1,2009 --Stuck in my flat in Bangalore. Spend the day reading,The Hungry Tide. It was the most boring new year I had.
  • Jan 15,2009 -- Patent application filed with Siemens.
  • Feb 5,2009 -- Termination of Employment at Siemens.
  • Feb - May -- Distraught and Busy with job hunting. Gave the ISRO test.
  • May 14,2009--Interview at IIT Bombay for Research Fellowship Scheme.
  • June 16,2009-- Joined IITB as a Junior Research Fellow.
  • June 26,2009--Death of a prominent member of the family
  • June 29,2009--ISRO interview, didn't clear it though
  • July - Oct --At work. Moments of joy as well as misfired experiments Gave DRDO exam.
  • Oct 13,2009--Death of my Cousin in a car crash.
  • Nov 12,2009--Interview at ARAI, got the job.
  • Nov - Dec --The real transition, declined the offer on Dec 22,2009 and continuing at IIT.
I intend to use this post as a reference data for comparison. Hoping for a better 2010, with no major debacles.
