2009 : Some memories and some celebrations

Friends, 2009 is over. Those who had bad 2009 are looking for greater 2010 and those who had greater run in 2009 are looking to continue it. Well 2009 is a past I'll not remember any happenings in future because I want to start my innings with fresh mind and attitude. Hope this New Year will bring lots of happy moments in your life. But one last time I want to memories how 2009 was according to me.

2009 was a mixture of happiness and sorrows. I would like to relate my life with my family, friends, work and my surroundings. I don't want to tell anything about my family in detail here. But 2009 I have enjoyed more seeing a little member of our family, my nephew (my sister's son) Shreyas. He is mischievous like me and I enjoyed his company. My cousin released his first novel “Kathege Saavilla”. Though I couldn't read it properly, it is a proud moment for me. He is a genius and his thoughts always created enthusiasm in various subjects.

2009 has been very difficult for my few friends. The recession effect has hit badly the industries. But I know the potential inside them and felt very bad for them. I hope this new year bring lots of happiness and success to them. But there is some good news also. My best friends Ashesh and Raghu Mulgund visited Johannesburg of course for official work. Varun is still in Argentina enjoying with football mad nation. Guru went to Australia and came back.Abhay Nadigere is still in Canada enjoying his time with white people. Vedant and Anil Mahale went for higher studies. Many more names will come in the line up like Sumant and many more. But I don’t know where they disappeared and I will reserve my comments.

But best thing about year 2009 is I saw beautiful talents. A music composer in Kedar and Singer in Guru combined together to reach a mile stone. Soorya KN one among tri-murthy of SDM has some good news also. His new company reached some successes. Not to forgot my best friends Shridhar Bhat, Mahesha Shetty and Ketan Nadar's contribution in that success. I have to specially mention Shridhar Bhat. Because he was my roommate and association with people like him really motivated me. My friends Ganesh and Madhura are doing PhD. Prasanna Bhat was already there. I tried my level best to complete Engineering but these fellows are doing triple degrees. Ganesh Naik whose name I have mentioned earlier, he left the job in beautiful Goa (everything beautiful there) to do PhD. Bold decision and hats off to them. Vinay salunke who is among BJ's regular visitor is busy with J2EE.Many more people are there to mention but Most important among them is Sharath Manjithaya. He is a versatile singer no doubt about it. But He gave me his best this time "Kannada Nadina Jeeva Nadi". Perhaps it is the best song I have heard from my friends. But best of all is my ex-colleague's husband recovered from the injury which it took 3-4 years to heal.

Happenings around me also has mixture of sad and happiness. I will be writing political India 2009 a special article in coming days so ill not be mentioning it in this article. Starting with the happy news. Indian cricket team has become no 1 in test cricket. I enjoyed every performances especially Sehwag and Gambhir. My favorite Messi has become star of 2009.Multi talented Shruthi Haasan joined film industry. And bad thing is still Kasab and Afgal not hanged. No special in it. But it boils me a lot. Shilpa Shetty tied knot with Raj Kundra breaking several hearts and I was one among it. Well jokes apart, Our Great actor, my favorite actor, angry young man of sandalwood Vishnuvardhan and Great singer C Ashwath died in closing days of 2009. Vishnuvardhan has been pillar of Kannada industry for many years. He was just 59 and it came as a shock for all Kannadigas.

Individually for me it is good year. With all the support and confidence my family and friends have given to me I am thankful to them. A great reward came from my bosses and I am very thankful to them for this opportunity they have given to me. I learnt so many new things from TAPI to dotnet remoting. For little while I was associated with Teach India, but due to some work pressure and health reason I have to temporarily postpone it. That hurt me a lot.It is my dream to work for my society and I want to do it in a big in coming days.Thanks to Sharath Manjithaya, Chaitanya MR and Raghunandan for giving useful suggestion in improving my literature. I started this blog along with two other blogs. I joined EKavi but couldn't spend time with the association. This organization has created an awareness in the people that is worth mentioning here.My bike riding dream, music learning and so many things are still not fulfilled. I will end this article with saying good bye to 2009. 2010 is a fresh innings and I want to bat more in the coming days.
