One thing that has happened in 2011 is that a bulk of my reading material has gone digital. The books are synched and retrieved whenever I want. The kindles, dropboxes, boxes and safari oreilly subscriptions not to mention the veritable ebookee has helped me build a decent library. And My iPad (one wise buy in 2010) facilitates easy access to this collection.

For the kind of reading I do, the productive output from me is not what I am happy about.
The only explanations I give myself is that the benefits of reading should be considered not only in terms of what I do, but also in terms of what I avoid doing. Reading helps me avoid kodambakkam cinema ( now that I am staying away I think the 95% of Tamil Nadu is obsessed with it), unhealthy friendships, and not least of all more unhealthy habits.

Looking back in 2011:
My daughter’s arrival is the highlight of 2011. Moving to the new and bigger home was another good thing. I took better control of my finances, which can never hurt.

I do not remember the last movie I saw in sathyam on my own. I had very few restaurant outings, and fewer window shopping opportunities in Landmark.

On the other hand, GMAT was a debacle. I scored what I scored in the GMATprep - 590. So much so I forgot to even blog about it. Failure to get a car was another. My exercise regimen has taken a beating.

I will becompleting 5 years in my job next month and I don’t even know if that is a good thing

I would like to think more good things can happen if I focus more on act based on what I know.
Hopefully 2012 will see me finish some of the unfinished agenda.

Wishing you a happy 2012!
