Hi there! I hope you had a great year, and that this year is gonna be even more wonderful... Wish you a very Happy New Year!
I dunno how many of you would agree with me, but New Year is a nice time to reflect upon how the last year went... and a time to refract through what you'd want this year...
Last year was quite eventful for me... a year full of both happy and sad events... I never set my goals last year (except for one), so I don't have much regrets for what happened or what could have happened and never happened. I'm sure whatever happens, happens for good. But who decides what's good and what's not? Only time will tell...
To begin with the year that went by...
A turn, for good, in my career. Celebrated my birthday at home with people close to my heart. Was making wedding plans. Started blogging publically when TRUMAN insisted. Made friends in blogger-world. Wedding called off. Working 14+ hours a day. Got in touch with long lost friends. Posted matrimonial ads on internet. :-D Took a long awaited vacation for cousin's wedding and met my brother after ages (he's a chef and lives in Dubai)! Met old friends and made new friends. Went on a Road Trip to Hyderabad. Went on short vacations to Delhi thrice this year. Left Accenture and joined HP with 100% salary hike! Cleared off my car loan. Agreed to a friend moving over to my place. :-D Went on another Road Trip to Mumbai. Asked my friend to move out as I wanna live alone again (was gettin kinda suffocated). If I'm missing out something, I'm sure it is not quite significant... :-) Following are the three things that I can make sense of what happened in 2005:
(a) We sometimes overlook how important a role Family & Friends play a in our life. For certain things we can't derive support from our family, and then again for other certain things, we can't derive support from our friends. I'm glad I have wonderful Parents, an amazing brother (more of a friend) and great friends who have stood by me all the time... :)
(b) We can never be sure of anything in life. What we have today, or what exists around us today, might not be there tomorow. When things are beyond our control that we brand them as a result of "Fate". But that shouldn't stop us from trying to make our own "Destiny"; there should never be any regrets later. We should always try our best for what we want in life.
(c) This is especially for people like me. There is a fine line between "Following Your Heart" and "Insanity"! lol! Unless you want to regret your actions later, be careful of crossing the line... not even by mistake! Even though the other side might appear to be most desirable, but its NOT WORTH being on the other side!
And now over to what I'm looking forward to this year:
Long before the new year, I had decided on couple of things that had been on my mind for quite a long time:
(a) One year from today:
(i) I'd be in US or would have already been to US OR
(ii) I'd be heading for either of MBA from IIM or ISB or Abroad OR
(iii) I'd be looking for a job in Delhi or would have already found a job in Delhi.
(b) I wanna play sports (Tennis & Basketball) more often.
(c) Keep making the Road Trips (4 RTs atleast)
(d) Spend more time with Friends & Family
AND THE LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST
(e) Keep hoping for love that would last forever...
Well... That's pretty much about me (I'm keeping the rest hidden in my closet :-D). If you have written anything about yourself that you'd like to share, pls do leave your Blog-URL in the comments. I'd really like to know... Happy New Year once again!

In this modern world the art of Management has become a part and parcel of everyday life, be it at home, in the office or factory and in Government. In all organizations, where a group of human beings assemble for a common purpose irrespective of caste, creed, and religion, management principles come into play through the management of resources, finance and planning, priorities, policies and practice. Management is a systematic way of carrying out activities in any field of human effort.
Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their weaknesses irrelevant, says the Management Guru Peter Drucker. It creates harmony in working together - equilibrium in thoughts and actions, goals and achievements, plans and performance, products and markets. It resolves situations of scarcity, be they in the physical, technical or human fields, through maximum utilization with the minimum available processes to achieve the goal. Lack of management causes disorder, confusion, wastage, delay, destruction and even depression. Managing men, money and materials in the best possible way, according to circumstances and environment, is the most important and essential factor for a successful management.
