The year gone by

2012 was by far the most eventful year in my life, on both personal and professional front. Feels like having lived about 2-3 years in a single year itself. Looking back, couldn't help summarize all of it in 2013's first blog post. 

It was a year when Couponraja.com, my project back in Logicserve, crossed the glorious milestone of 100k fans on Facebook. We celebrated the event with cake cutting, and the team leaving for a short trip to Dapoli and Ganpatipule over the weekend. After spending almost 3 years in Logicserve, I moved out to Komli Media in April. It was a tough decision but it had been on my mind for quite some time. I finally made it, joining Pratik's team as Account Manager. The switch over has been good overall, and hope it stays the same :) 

I always had this dream of getting a full expense paid business and leisure trip sponsored by my employer, and it finally became a reality. I had been to south Goa in October thanks to Komli's annual Offsite. Also, a short business trip to the capital city in November. I traveled to and fro by flight, in both these; another dream which was finally fulfilled. Ofcourse, an international trip is pending yet :) 

Talking about Goa, I had the fortune of being there twice in a year. Back in January I had been there with MET friends, enjoying in north Goa. Except the cruise party, we hung out everywhere else from Club Cabana to Curly's to Britto's to Cafe Lila to Chapora fort and random shacks. It was the funnest trip of 2012. Other trips included the recent Alibaug trip, river rafting at Kolad and Palasdari waterfall in June-July, Ulhas valley trek and my first ever overnight trek at Harishchandra fort in November. 

A few things happened which are going to have a lasting impact on my life. There are certain choices which should never go wrong. You cant afford to fail in certain testing times. But in the end, it is just about living with it. Happiness is more a state of mind than something tangible, isn't it? And certain things make you wonder if you should feel happy about them or sad! In retrospect, I feel happy about certain things, and wish things could have turned out differently. Anyways, let's live with it now and hope 2013 turns out better for good.
