The year 2006 - for me

A New Year - 2007. Another year passed by.

Though, I had a couple of things in my mind to blog, I could not find the time to do it. And the new year has come and almost one month over!.

So, this post is to recollect the events in 2006.

  • Birth of my daughter
  • Giving my daughter a name, by us
  • Got registered for my PhD, after doing good amount of work over the years, and after a long wait!
  • Invested in Mutual funds for the first time!
  • Two of my colleagues - Kailash and Ponraj - who were working with me, quit in April and December respectively - ofcourse in search of better positions! Another friend and colleague - Mayank also quit.
  • Lost my Nokia mobile phone (that my wife gifted!) in a crowded bus - to a thief!
  • Purchased Sony Ericsson Mobile Handset, and had a terribly bad experience with it for a couple of months (I already had a bad experience with Sony Ericsson Mobile earlier; but foolishly I trusted the brand again! - Probably 'Fate' played!)
  • Trips to Hyderabad & Delhi - for Project work & Conferences; Personal Trips to Madurai, a couple of times
  • Got my home PC upgraded to an additional 256 MB RAM and a new 80 GB Hard disk
  • Coordinated and lead the Corporate Training Programme in Computer Networking
  • Opened an account in Orkut - after ignoring it for some time!
  • Handled many sessions for the students of the courses conducted here
  • Worked on Project Proposals, Papers and lot of Presentations
  • Learned a lot as usual - but more from a Techno - Research perspective (thanks to my PhD, Paper, and Proposal efforts)
  • Overall it was another eventful year
