Return to blogging

After a long time I have re-activated this blog, I guess more than two years have passed since i posted on this forum. Now I am thinking of excercising some of my old gray cells which surely have decayed. During this period I have written sparingly, however recently, I have participated in a private mail group where we keep exchanging thoughts, apart from that my writings have been quite limited. Here is a recap of what has happened over this period:

To begin with there has been a change of job and change of house, the rest of it remains almost same :D. I have lost touch with most of my college friends during this period cause most of them have been busy in their pursuit of success. In terms of professional development I have not achieved much apart from a change of job which only time can tell is for development or otherwise :I.

My previous job experience was quite enriching learnt a lot about analysis financial statements (a little bit of accounting, where I have loads of doubts), modeling and structuring transactions, and was exposed to some prestigious projects. I was able to handle some of the transactions independently and made some good relations with colleagues and clients.

On personal front I have made a few friends some of them survived the test of time while a few have failed this test. The most notable change has been loss of hair :D and now my bald head is a lot more visible :D (suggesting signs of wisdom :P). I have become more aerodynamic and sharper :P. I am trying to venture into photography some of my pix could be seen here. These days i listen to a lot of ghazals which have nice lyrics. (mostly Ghulam Ali variety). I have developed a good network mostly through my relations with colleagues and of course orkut.

To sum it up my life has had a lateral movement, (and not vertical) and a lot of stagnation for sure :(. I hope that i will continue to blog a lot more frequently on this forum than I have been doing over the past (Past is never a good indicator of future events :P).

Current Mood: Feels good to blog again :)
Current Music: Itni Muddat Baad Mile Ho (Ghulam Ali) :">

Pl not have added some Y! smileys on my blog, i am trying to pick-up a little bit of XML to make myself a little more "IT literate" :D
