The Year That Was.............

I am not a person who usually waits for a new year to dawn to make resolutions or to take corrective action (Or for that matter making those resolutions public for everyone to see & verify). It just so happens that this time I am planning on doing an analysis of how the year has turned out and what I want to make the year 2008 to be.

2007 was:
1) A normal year as far as professional life was concerned. The expected growth in terms of a position did not come & that left me annoyed a wee bit. (Alright. Annoyed me a wee bit more than a wee bit)
2) The personal front had its own share of ups & downs. Considering the fact that years 2005 & 2006 have been turbulent, I would actually consider this as a pretty decent year.
3) Blogging started of on a promising note but trailed off towards the end. Blogging took a big time hit in the last 4 months. One of the reasons that I could think of is the increased responsibilities at office & being lazy to the extent of not applying for an Internet connection at our new house. (The graph is an indication of how much I have 'grown' to being an useless manager of things!!!)

A stupid graph indicating my laziness and managerial potential!!!

2008 needs to be:
1) A year where I get the much expected change in my designation. (Which I feel I deserve!!!!)
2) A year where I blog much more regularly. Even though setting a specific target for a creative work like blogging doesn't bode well, I would like to post close to 80+ items in the coming year on variety of topics.
3) A year where I join in some course to improve my amateur photography skills.
4) Last but not the least, a year where I need to be happy always & to keep myself and others smiling.


Have a Great Year 2008!!!!
