As the Year 2009 slowly slips aways into the history of mankind, with its cherished images and blurred catastrophes, there lies a hope of the New Year and New decade in making. 2009 had been a year of ups and downs and its immense value to cherish it before it goes away.... January marked Barack Obama's swearing in ceremony the Lincoln way... and personally was pleased to celebrate my son's (hate calling Ajay my nephew) 10th birthday and also my favorite brother's in law gala party at home..as he heads the Retail Sales of Pidilite industries...proud personal moments
A R Rahman marked his presence in the global music with his Oscars this year. Personally my kid started her stage performances and made me a proud mom...Cousin's and friends got married, few new born children giving hope alive this year....my Best friends Venkat, Nish, Reena, Manikandan getting married..wow, time.... Feb marked with my manager Shankar getting his Star Manager award...making us stand in pride with him....Finally Feb ended with my IGNOU 20th convocation
March was fun with Neeya Naana shooting, and favorite birthdays amidst an startling sorrow with my cousin's husband's tragic death in car accident. God bless his family with much needed solace....realization of the real life brutality...
E-Awards continued to pour in..and travels became frequent in search of opportunities at work and had been quite a fruitful year vesting my energies and time towards focused business objectives....
April gave me and Raghu the best bonding as he proposed in TV in front of 5 million viewers in Neeya Naana saying "I love you" after 12 years into a marriage..funny,but strengthen our relationship like never before....Dr Mani, calling on us to say "You made my day".
Hari uncle finally retiring from 30 long years of work in Dubai to settle down with his family is satisfying..for he deserves it .... and comes May with a Bang,,, cant just believe I made it to the semi-finalist of Chennai Super Mom 2009,,, whats guts,,huh! ..thankfully same time, my friends Nish and Mukesh got saved in a stupid road accident..God bless..
Inner wheel, Music fests, Family gettogethers, all went on in June ...before I travelled back to US in July for few months...as my heart ached with sudden death of Micheal Jackson for the kind of music he gave to this world....RIP MJ....
July August had been the most hectic months of my life with a very challenging project, before I got a relief of moving ahead in September towards my most dear delivery excellence project...on the requirements methodology we developed... trips to Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Frankenmuth... and back to Pontiac & Farming ton hills...
Official dinners with professional contacts at various places satisfied my taste buds with multiple cuisines and my favorite coffee's... found some real good friends this year. Economy started to improve and wish people find more jobs and opportunities
Best ever birthday and Christmas..time at Auroville, and regaining the bonding of one lost friendship became the best part of the year... October marked its splendour with the kind of enablement it gave us to free our home and our lives in our first major goal...and also giving me the edge to help my friends in need...
Another project another visit to US and loads of work and achievements, midst of all this, complete my Book of Poems called "Battle of Bygones" and started to write a book dedicated to Aurobindo and Mother titled "Aspirations- The Mother's way"..hopefully 2010 will see them coming up for larger audience...
The last month of the year ends with an happy note of me moving to the next level professionally and the final day of the Year with the biggest news that my mentor is now a certified PMP.... with all this positive energy stepping tonight into another beautiful year and a decade where we should aim to turn obstacles as opportunities, troubles as testing periods and harassment's as hopes and look forward with focus, goals, happiness, health and success. Wishing all my family and friends a very Happy New Year 2010...as I sign of once again this year from Michigan, USA as I travel back to India tomorrow...Folks, wish me a safe journey,,for the fear is in the air, but hope is in the heart and am sure to win the race!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2010 SHOULD BE FUN, HAPPINESS & SUCCESS.
