What a different year its been…

Its been such a unique year-2008.
Starting the year off by representing The Banyan, where I worked along with my team members running the Mumbai marathon to creating a newsletter for my organization, called Nambikkai, which got recognition by appearing in the local Chennai newspaper this year has been full of wonderful episodes in my life. I never imagined that something I wrote, would get such recognition!
In my own special way i was able to create an impact at the Banyan.
This was the year I had first applied for my masters in communication and journalism. I wrote a beautiful essay, got through and the only part to get through was by flying back to Mumbai to appear for the entrance, but I was convinced to stay back…being told I was doing well at my job and i could always apply next year. So, I thought about it, and decided I would do my masters next year.
I stayed back and ultimately in the end decided to resign on August 3rd.. I needed a change..a break from my job. explore who i really was.. just take a break in life!
So I came back to Mumbai on that date. Pre-planned in Chennai I knew i would enroll myself in a certificate course in XIC in Creative Writing.. just for the boost in the field.
and, so i did the 6-week course which was absolutely brilliant..I learnt so much.. and am now very eager for my masters next year!
Quickly after it ended I got lucky and landed up by getting a job at Spenta Multimedia where I currently work.. Working over here has been such a learning experience in the field of communication.-writing, editing, proof-reading..multitasking so many things. I feel really lucky to have such luck.
Like all years there have been fights, sad times which really have put me down but it just ignites the strength to learn and move on in life feeling even better than before!
Right now, its the end of the year, a couple days before 2009, not made any resolutions as yet..hehe.. they are pretty lame.. I just do things sporadically and impulsively!
I do hope 2009 will be a year very different from this year, I hope I get through my entrance exam for my masters(am so nervous about that part!).
i would love to do things I’ve never done before! Go for treks.. Read new books…Watch all the good plays.. Just be a different person.
Sometimes even the worse things happen for the good, and everything that happens is meant to happen for the best, so no regrets.. Life has its own ways to change or turn your life around, and thats what i hope this year will be like.. A different one..;.)
