- Joined the new team in January, moved from managed to unmanaged code and got good at it. It was a good move from every aspect I think of, I feel like a developer now!
- 2nd year of marriage completed in Feb, went to Jitu Bhaiyas marriage in Udaipur on the same day as my wedding anniversary, cut a big cake in family – was nice.
- The year started with the news from Namrata – that I will be a dad in 9 months J , became a dad in August(21st) that was a life changing event – Jahnvi entered our lives to make it even more colorful.
- My dream of taking parents for a holiday out of India materialized, went to Singapore and Malaysia. It couldn’t have been a better time as we were expecting a baby too and trip wouldn’t have been possible after the baby.
- Booked a house in Aparna Cyber Commune, got a good deal, waiting for the possession now which will be in around Feb 2011.
- Year was filled with reading a lot and lot of c++, design books(Effective, more effective, exceptional, more exceptional, gotchas, faqs, gang of 4 being some of them)
- Spent 5 months alone when Namrata was at her parents house for delivery. The initial 1 week rocked(yes she knows that) and the rest of part sucked!
- Brought Jahnvi to Hyderabad when she was 2 months, She cried so loudly at the airport that the security personnel almost skipped checking us(seeing her daughter cry namrata started crying too)
- Previous years resolution of reimbursing bills is going good, I have reimbursed all internet bills and medical bills, have yet to submit petrol bills though
- Completed 5 years at MS in July, team celebrated it – thank you all! Got a wireless headphone as a gift(I asked for it considering that I will be watching TV when Jahnvi is asleep)
- Got room/office in the new team which I was missing when I moved here.
- Mom and Dad came twice in the same year for the first time, still not so comfortable here but increasing their network continuously. I am surprised at times for their ability to make friends.
- Mom and Dad arranged for a celebration in Bikaner for Jahnvis arrival, almost 400 people arrived, met my sisters and jijajis and bhanjas and bhanjis all at the same time – I call that life!
- Got a laptop from office too, now we have 4 computers at home for 4 people.
- Went to Ramoji for a 2 night stay, the 1st evening of sitting in the garden with no lights and eco coming was awesome. Thanks to Pinku who came to let me go to the offsite.
- Overall it was an eventful year – the biggest event being I becoming a father…
Wishing you all a very very happy, eventful and healthy new year!
