2019 - An year of shock and surprises

2019 - a year of surprises

2019 seemed to be dawning only yesterday and here we are - at the end of the year already.

This year had brought a lot of surprises and shocks to me personally and officially.

Personally, my dad underwent a major procedure and thankfully he is alright.

I am expecting my second child is another pleasant shock.

Officially, I gave up my freelancing to a more steady and safe permanent job. It does not mean I wont be in freelancing anymore, as I am working on how to start my own venture.

Another good thing was my family was on the press for the topic 'Indians in Belgium' and it gave me a good popularity ;-)

Another shock is I had quite a huge number of fights with 'so called friends' and had a strained relationship.

Eagerly awaiting what 2020 is bringing to the table.

Wish each and everyone of you a very happy new year 2020

2014 - a new beginning

Wish you all a very happy new year. As I step on to one of the most exciting new year of my life, I wish to look back at the past year.

Not much was achieved in terms of work ;-) (who cares if you are enjoying your work day in and day out).
It was an eventful year for me. I cleared my Belgian Driver's License practicals and held the license proudly.
At the same time, my stay was shortened, though the reverse could happen anytime soon...

Personally, I received a promotion as a proud dad. It was one of those unforgettable moments of my life, holding the little one on your hand and receiving smiles from it :-) We waited with excitement and prayers for 9 odd months for these moments. I should be thanking all my elders, friends and well wishers (in no particular order) for their prayers, wishes and blessings.

Overall, it was a profitable year for me personally.

Looking forward to 2014 with hope and confidence.

May God bless us all.

End of 2012 - Happy New Year 2013!!!

Yet another year passes.. This year was good to me personally.....Except for a few days...

There were lot of highs in this year for me - touchwood.

Right from car driving to exploring new places, I explored many new things...

Some people were predicting "End of World". For them, I wish better luck next time ;-)

For everyone else, I wish U a fun filled, happy, healthy, propserous and a blessed New Year 2013...

Cheers!!

Good Bye 2011

2011 looked like just arrived, but we are already 10 days into 2012. As I look back, this was one of the best years in my career and one of the most enjoyable in my personal life. In terms of my wish list, I could never fulfill some of my aims (resolutions) that I made for the year, but nevertheless it was a very satisfying year for me.
I got a personal promotion in my life from my bachelor hood towards the end of the year and my European dream is still going strong. In terms of official life, I enjoyed one of the most productive year after a long gap.

I hope 2012 remains the same as in 2011.


I wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year 2012.

New Year Celebrations

Yesterday from around 11 pm, the entire city gathered in a place near Centraal. I was also a part of it along with my friends. It was a plesant sight as almost the entire city was awaiting the countdown to the new year and then exchanged greetings.
The fire works organized there was amazing and it was like seeing 3 diwalis at a time for me.

On the whole, a wonderful experience indeed!!

Happy New year once again :-)

End of an eventful year - One diff pilgrimage for the year 2010 :-)

2010 has been a year of mixed luck for me... The year started very slowly and has now ended in a flourish.. Just couldn't beleive that one year is over.. Sometimes I fear that I am ageing very quickly when I look back at the time... :-)

Now back to the topic... I was long thinking of visiting a temple after I came to Brussels and as I planned I took a day off from work today (dec 31 2010) and started my journey to Iskcon temple (the so called Radhadesh) situated in country side of Belgium.

Last time, I didn't have the guts to go alone ;-).. This time planned everything well in advance with the help of my friend Prasanth...

Dec 30 Night, I came home from badminton at around 9.30..Had my dinner and slept @11.20pm. I made sure that I kept my alarm :-)

Dec 31:

I woke up at around 7.15 am and got ready at around 8.15 am and started towards Brussels Noord. Had some coffee and croissant and boarded the train at 9.05 am.

Reached Liege at around 11 am.. The weather was freezing at -2 celsius.

Took some quick snaps...and boarded the local train @10.22 am. Reached Barvaux station at around 11.12 am. The place was picturesque, it was a fantastic sight to watch even though the weather was freezing... For me it was still good enough to enjoy the beauty of the place...

I entered the temple at around 11.35 am. The atmosphere was perfect for meditating :-)

I was offering my prayers and started at around 12.20 to have my lunch at a restaurant nearby.

In the mean time, I visited the art museum which was next to temple and took some pics.

Then I had my lunch, the lunch was jainish with no garlic or onion :-) Felt very good like eating at home..I started back to Brussels at 1.35 pm and reached home by 4.10 pm.

There is no better way to end the year by surrendering yourselves to GOD..

Hope the dawn of the new year is blessed with good health, prosperity and last but not the least wealth of happiness.

I have shared one of the photo that I managed to click today above.

Wish U all a happy new year!!!

New Year

Wish U all a happy and prosperous new year 2010. May GOD bless U in whatever U do.

This new year has been pretty different. This is almost the first time in my career that I am going to work ... Hold on!! By work, I mean stepping into office ;-) Very strange indeed :-P

Change is the only thing that is unchanged and I hope this turns out to be a pleasant change.
