'Cool' things I have done in the past 1year

  • Been to a 5 star hotel, ate like hell and returned without paying. Did not have cash, and really wanted to eat something nice. This was Prakruti, Kashid near Mumbai. I plan to donate about 2k out of my 1st salary to make up for it.
  • Rode my bicycle alone for about 80kms to a trip to Diamond Harbour from IIM C campus. Took me a bout 6.5hours including rest at Ramakrishna Ashram and various ATMs that came by
  • Learned swimming. It was pending for a while
  • Took gyming seriously, for a while at least
  • Won my 1st award in any sports...it was a biathlon named 'Tour de Joka'. Was teamed up with Arjun, Tashi and we came 3rd. And for the record, I did not 'free ride', was the 2nd best cyclist after Mohit
  • Flirted around, evaded a few proposals and am still single
  • Searched for old school friends (read: female acquaintances) and added them on orkut/ facebook
  • Internship in Mumbai meant I was able to visit Goa as well
  • Called up competitors of the firm I was working for, as the representative of a financial advisory with big-shot clients. Helped me understand the standing of the rest of the firms on the particular product I was handling. I still get calls regarding this :(
  • Visited my first foreign country, so what if it was Bhutan :P
  • Accepted in public that I am a fan of Himesh Reshammiya
  • Watched my first 2 TV series Prison Break and 24...and stopped at season 1 itself for both
  • Made more friends than enemies
  • Broke 2 window panes with my fist and planning to stop now. If not stop, then at least graduate to a car window
Hope this is enough to justify my absence for the past 1 year. Hoping to do 'cooler' things in the coming year, and still be an active blogger :)
