Bye Bye 2010

2010

An year of changes and lots of predictions for me. I changed my job from SAP Labs to SAP India and became a consultant. My marriage got fixed with my long time sweetheart. A year too good on my cards, all the platform were set for my future en-devours and just today late evening I got blessed with a sweet lovely cute Nephew. From today I will be called मामा  (Maternal Uncle) by him :P.

I become active on Facebook and won many contests and many goodies esp from Kingfisher, Bacardi and Smirnoff. My pictures are looked upon by many on Flickr now. Another milestone covered in terms of photography. I also started 'Bangalore Photo Run Enthusiasts'- BaP RE!- where I initiated three successful events for a Photowalk. 

I lost some good 8-9Kgs of weight by attending two gyms. I developed a good hobby of taking breakfast early morning (before 10 AM) daily which helped in giving me a good balanced start for the day. Addition of fruits to my refrigerator was also welcomed by me.

The travel to the whole of South India reached deeper, The year was bang-on with Pondicherry and traveled to Kodai and Ooty. From the beaches to Goa to the Hills of Western ghats. 

This was the year of scams and Common wealth. The prices of Petrol and onions, the increased awareness of vested sports in CWG or Asians, From Obama's Visit to the Historical Rout of Nitish Kumar in Bihar,  Leh's cloud burst to the Karnataka's CM foolishness, Leaks and Dabangg, Rupee symbol to the debate of greatest cricketer, indeed a year of News and Leaks.
