Happy wala b’day to 2008

Well, well, the day has arrived when we start writing ’08 in the year’s column. Another year gone by. Lemme try and recollect the single most important events in the respective months:

1st wicket-> January->the year started with an absolutely wild New Year party. It was crazy. Felt nice to see so many people enjoying themselves. My memory of this time last year is that of having time out. With the gang out in Pune, I had a quite New Year. Then, it was the pressure of the exams. The month just fizzed by.

2nd wicket->February-> remember this month for the trip to Shikharjee. It was damn good. Walking those 21 kms. was an experience (mind you, bare feet). It was BEAUTIFULL.

3rd wicket->March-> I went to a professional set up for the 2nd time in my life. It was my internship at ICICI. It was a big CULTURE shock (after Standard Chartered). It was BAD.

4th wicket->April-> one of the few times in my life I fell out with my friends. It was one of my best friends. Felt bad, real bad.

5th wicket->May-> the trauma continues. As usual the trend of b’day blues continued. It NEVER fails to happen. Ooooh, how could I forget, Tarkeshwar!!!! Went to meet Bhole Baba after 2 years and that too with the real close ones.

6th wicket->June->back to campus... It was a relief!!!!!

7th wicket->July-> started watching out for the placement season.

8th wicket->August-> the Virgo month. B’days galore!!! The movie bug HIT me.

9th wicket->September-> placements and exams on our heads... started to get on my nerves.

10th wicket-> October-> ADVENTITY :-)

Last man-> November-> LAZING around like an Elephant (is this right English????)

12th man-> December-> Faux paus. Don’ really no.

This is it. A highlights package of 2007.


Now for some of my ardent wishes in 2008:

1. India beats Australia down under.

2. Do well in Adventity.

3. Hope the company gives the bonus to people who have finished the Indian CFA (can’t study any more!!!)

4. Kick some ass at Adventity.

5. Sis’s problems take a turn for the better.

6. Gift the latest technologically advanced cell phone to my pyaree behnaa, Jhabs.

7. Sourav Ganguly retires on a high!!!

8. India does not give another chance to amazing Mr. Sehwag.

9. And the biggest. Cannot WAIT to have money in my hands and spending it. I have done the mental calculations. Only the actual implementation is left!!


Talk about spirit. A group of females in charge of cleaning up and all in the campus are sitting outside and having a BALL. I can hear their continuous chatter for the past hour. They seem to be having more fun then me. I am J. reminds me of the line from Ulysses, “Drink life to it’s lees”. Way to go.

Chow guys.
