A landmark year for me. Here are some highlights:
1. Khushi turned ten years old and I finally feel like a responsible mother :). I am 37 years old and feel like 27 years...I have never felt more in control of my life. I think 30s are more fun than 20s. This is true for me at least. 20s were more about trying to find a foothold in career, getting married and trying to have some rapport with your in-laws. But by the time you are in your 30s, you know what you want from life...what you can compromise on and what you simply cannot. Maybe simply for this reason, I feel younger and more in control of my life.
2. I am doing well in my career. Touch wood. My role has grown this year and I have some new responsibilities in the coming year. But now I need to think of how to go to the next level. Simply put--what got me here will not take me where I want to be in the next two-to-three years. This needs some serious thinking and I am taking a week off in the second week of January to do some serious rethinking besides spending time with daughter khushi of course.
3. Unfortunately, my novel is still far from over. I need to find time to work on it. I just don't know how. Maybe I don't want it bad enough otherwise I would have somehow managed to find time. Anyway, I do plan to finish it in the first half of 2012. Getting there.
4. Good news--I joined gym in 2011. Bad news--I went to gym in phases. I was extremely regular few months and then horribly irregular in some other months. I clearly need to be more regular with my gym trips. Sigh!! I am trying. I am trying. At least I crossed the threshold of joining the gym.
5. Broad agenda for the coming year--finish the novel please; be more regular with gym; also plan to join some hobby classes or something. Last but the not the least have to do some serious thinking about where do I see myself two years down the line...
