2010 was pretty fast, what? It just seemed to vroom past like a biker boy. So here are the highlights of year 2010 for me:
1. I got married- an event I did not think would happen anytime soon at the beginning of 2009.
2. I went to Sri Lanka! I ate at the Hilton! I wore skirts! And distributed wedding laddoos to unsuspecting auto drivers there. We also lost our camera and went to a police station at Kandy where the Sri Lankans were so nice to us, we came back without registering a complaint.
3. I came to Pune and have made my peace with a non-beach city.
4. I changed jobs. This isn't too eventful because I seem to be making this an annual affair. I think even if I start my own company, I'll write resignation letters to myself.
5. I can now cook reasonably well. I'm being humble. I rock. Eat my pasta.
6. I published Power Cut and School is Cool. Finished work on Mayil's Diary with N. Wrote a few more picture books and have sent them. Hopefully, they should come out in 2011.
7. I started going for long walks every day.
8. I can now understand Hindi if a South Indian speaks it. I also know one line in Marathi- Kay zala?
9. I celebrated festivals. My family, being atheist and all, does not believe in celebrating anything other than maybe the October revolution that falls in November. But since M's family celebrates everything, I ended my Scrooge-iness. It's ironic that I celebrated Onam first because of a Telugu boy. Such, is life.
10. I've worked from my sofa for the most part of the year, far from the traffic, the dust, the heat, and the indelicate AC.
Happy New Year, everybody! May 2011 be prosperous and blah blah.

Lol @ 5 and the October revolution which occurs in November part of 9; congratulations and best wishes on 6 and 8; and with 7 you have inspired me no end! :D You just don't know how much! :)
I have been thinking of a New Year post myself but may be I will abstain from doing one.
Btw, you could add an eleventh: you have blogged a lot more albeit in pockets of rush spliced by idleness - but they have surely been a reader's delight! :)
Nice ya. Removes off drishti.
God bless you. 2011 should see you carrying a babe in arms
I love the idea of writing resignation letters to oneself ... Paavai
Wait endha calender says today/tomorrow is new year? :|
Anyway, I will take over the company, if it is making profits.
Making Pasta is easy. I can make Pasta, duh!
You didn't give ladoos to the auto drivers here? pity.
Acha hai!
And since a maami is suggesting you do something about drishti, buy a huge pumpkin and tell someone to break it on the road :P
So holiday or chennai?
I learned to make the perfect Chicken Biryani this year. Thats probably the most useful things I've done this decade.
I read some awesome books this year. And ate sushi for the first time. And went on a holiday with hubby sans kids for the first time since their arrival.2010 rocked.
Looks like its been quite an eventful year... Well, i liked the writing resignation letters to yourself and making peace with a non beach city part.... And happy 2011 and blah blah to you too... :)
same pinch! i have some common points with you excluding the marriage part, of course. :)
good on you!
@Everybody- Thank you for all the wishes. Hope everyone has a great 2011 too!
