Started the year with brand new vision. No really, I got laser surgery. Die lenses die.
Got a brand new nephew as well. A cute one at that.
Definitely got fatter.
Almost learned how to play the drums. Almost
Attended interminable number of weddings slash engagements – cuz1 wedding-engagement, cuz2 engagement, yeti engagement, bug engagement, bug wedding1, bug wedding 2 (to the same guy), cuz3 engagement-sangeet-wedding, yeti wedding & another two I almost made it to. Whew.
Tried Kimam paan. Never. Again. EVER.
Got a lot of traveling done mostly in short weekend getaway format & a superb 2 week trip to visit nephew. This is not counting the six times I traveled back & forth 3000 Km to home & back.
The brilliant weekend trips – ecocamping in Jan, Goa yet again in April, Suddhaghad trekking pre-monsoon, waterfall rappelling in the monsoon (awesome!), Lavasa post-monsoon, Kashid & Murud on a whim, Ahemdabad & Kimam paan in September, Panchgani & Mahabaleshwar to kickstart the winter and full circle back to ecocamping in Dec.
Spent my birthday AND new year's eve 09 on the road. The after party for both was fun though.
Improved - driving skills (that's debatable of course) & courage meter & a whole host of other things which slip my mind for some reason
Worsened - french, weighing scale, alcohol meter, road rage
Status quo on a lot of things - but that's another post.
