Year 2011 fading away...

The year 2011 has been slipping away from my hands before I can sit.. ponder and think what is happening. Maddening.. lots of travel.. new house.. new place.. new life into our lives.. lots of new stuff.

Its already November and I just vaguely remember it as just yesterday that we landed in Munich.. Living life fast forward mode..

Come to think of it.. many things have happened in 2011 - economy has just gone from bad to worse.. greeks are down in dumps.. US economy not AAA+ anymore?.. Japan earthquakes.. Chinese increasing dominance.. Osama dead!! (living nicely in Pakistan?).. Gaddafi dead (whatever is happening to dictators).. lots more bad guys killed (US now have every reason to rejoice.. except, their economy is slowly coming to a rumbling halt... too bad for all of us).. overall depressing economy..

If I could give one sentence to define 2011 it will be 'start of tough times ahead'.. ever heard of 20 year economic cycles (we could be entering into the down curve now).

Personally this has been the most different year I have had till now.. away from India (Started off in Germany).. lots of learning (I have just been going through a crash course in Sales.. I fancy, that I am not a bad student).. traveled over 20,000 Kms (believe me.. 'I' drove all those kms: add multiple flight journeys.. and.. I am sure that I have crossed a 100,000 Kms travel this year) : It has been a learning experience.. as I said (sorry for the repetition), but this has been a crash course in sales.. learning German (not bad at a short conversation.. but next year I need to get that skill right up!)..

Baby.. we had our first baby.. thank god I have a understanding wife, we have been able to get super along in this.. lots of stuff have changed... someday I will write how it feels...

World has changed.. or rather am I wearing a fresh pair of glasses which makes me think the world is looking different?

Well, how does it matter. I AM ON HIGHWAY, AND I LOVE DRIVING.

Ciao till next time...Harsha
