Year 2017 - Mid Year Review

Life is not as easy as it seems. The year 2017 had started in a wrong direction in my professional life. It's been May and the blueprint which I expected has not been met, at least till now. One thing is for sure. I am not going to regret anything which I have done in this year. 

Some good things happened, some things went wrong. They are as follows:

1. Quitting Hafele India
I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be quitting Hafele before 3 years. Being a Management Trainee, I always imagined myself to take care of Hafele 10, 15 years down the line. I did felt bad when they couldn't transfer me to the location which I wanted. Whatever happens, if I ever build a modular kitchen for  my home, all the hardware is going to be from Hafele and Blum. 

2. Buying TV for home
One of my short term goal after getting a job was buying a good TV for home. Finally, we bought a Panasonic 40' inch TV. Everyone's happy. The best part of buying that TV was that I got it from the distributor and not from any retailer (Thanks Hafele for teaching that). 

3. BJP winning in Manipur
I voted for the first time in my life and it was a huge success. Even though our BJP candidate lost by a margin of 19 votes, BJP as a party formed the govt in Manipur for the first time. It would have been really bad if Congress would have come to power and not ride on the Modi wave which is happening in the entire country. Proud. 

4. Got a chance to teach my younger sister
It's been long since I am staying outside from home. It's good that I 
took a good amount of rest and in between help prepare my younger sister for her final exams. She did well and hope she continues to work hard. 

5. Da Rishikesh wedding
We were kids back then and he use to lead us to play cricket matches. Time flies by so quickly and now I was attending his wedding. Hope they have a very happy married life. 

6. Summer in Delhi 
Stayed in Pushika's place for some days and later shifted to Sunil's place. One of the best summer I have ever had. Thank you :) 


That's it for now. As they say "This too shall pass", I am experiencing it, understanding life and enjoying the present moment minutes by minutes.
