Bye Bye 2007 - All Work and Little Play

-

I am pretty late in putting down my memories of 2007. Let me begin with it. The first 5 months of 2007 have been extremely busy and rough for professionally. There was a lot of workload and pressure, which I had to bear during these months. But things started to get smooth later. Professionally I got advanced in this year. But it was not the only things I got this year. I also got the executive membership of Shapes, which is a renowned health club of Lahore and once again after 3 years I started to take care of my body. I lost 7 Kilos and at last have been able to shed all the unwanted flab, which I had been trying to do from past 3 years. I also got job at a company in US and I got selected in H1B, which is quota assigned by US government for overseas workers.

My childhood best friend got a job in UAE in second half of 2007 and left the country. In December, my sister came from UK after 3 years with her family. It was a wonderful time with her. My brother got married in December, so it was quite a busy month for me. Fun-filled and treasured moments I got in that course of time.  One of admirers of my blog also got married in December.

In short, this year was dedicated most to my work. There was not much things on personal life that happened this year.

2016: A year in review – Crossroads and then a Straight line

-
It’s May 2017 and I had the impression that I had already put down my reminiscences of 2016... which I hadn’t... so I am writing them now. As mentioned in my review of 2015, at the end of 2015 I got a contract job offer in Canberra for a federal government department. However, I wasn’t sure if I should take it or not, as I was anxiously waiting for the final outcome of my job application at PWC. I knew I had made it through there; it’s just that I was waiting for final formalities to begin. The first few weeks of January passed and there was no reply from PWC. Meanwhile, the Canberra job agent was waiting for me to join as I had passed through all the formal checks. Finally, after some anxious days, I got a reply from PWC that they wanted to offer me a job, and they asked me for my expected salary. I replied to them with the figure that I knew some of my former colleagues were already getting there. At the same time, I got feedback on my annual review from my Capgemini manager, and i

Life at 40

-
Yesterday and the day earlier, I was going through my blog. I proofread it, fixed grammatical mistakes, and paraphrased some sentences. I know I have stopped writing regularly and I can see long gaps in my writing. At times, I do feel like writing something, but I procrastinate. I need to be regular because when I go through my old posts, I realise how my life has shaped up over the years. How my thoughts, worries, and joys have changed over the years. How have I transformed over the years? Today I have limited time. I will try to complete this post instead of saving it in drafts only to be completed next year. I have just dropped my kids off at school and the youngest one is at day-care. My wife is at work, and I am at home, all alone. I must complete a solution pack by Friday, and I should be concentrating on it instead of my blog, but I want to write something. Reading my old posts yesterday, I realised how much my life has changed over the years. There has been a challenge in almo
