mulled over by the events...

Probably this would be the last post of the year. Mirroring back the innumerable events surrounding me that shaped the year that has been two thousand and seven.
The high spot of the year were weddings. Many of my closest ones - my sister, my cousin and a whole lot of my friends ended up in wedlock this year. No year till date have I attended these many weddings. Many of my close ones already married graduated to parenthood. I myself was up close to getting wed this year, unfortunately things didn't work out.
Long drives, trek and outings was least compared to the past 9years. This year did see the closeness and the dangers of wildlife. My bike has hardly done 370kms this year, which used to be over 400kms average per week few yrs back. Car is worse it just has done a mere 3200kms this year as compared to over 10,000 kms/year. Usage of public transportation and scooter is the highest from the past 15yrs. Travel was the worst hit this year. I never made a visit to Scotland this year :(
Time towards hobbies were at all time low this year. Macro lens, the video ipod & google maps were my favourite gadgets this year. I was a spend thrift this year, blew too much money which I shouldn't have done.
Coming on to the entertainment, as always this year too no movies did impress me to the theater. The rock music on my ipod always played numbers from Floyd, Eagles, GnR, Pearl Jam, Chris Isaak, Sheryl Crow, Sting & Tom Petty. Few new artist whom I added this year Chris De Burg, Kenny Rogers, Toby, Gnarls Barkley. Maiden concert has been the best this year that has happened. As always Monaco's Formula1 this year also turned out to be the best.
Spirituality & Philosophy drew a lot of interest as against Rationalism within me this year, these have shaped me the way I'm now.
This year had the max. number of my friends left for higher & better opportunities that were knocking their step. It was an emotional farewell to few of them. My popularity/visibility at workplace was the best this year in my whole career on the contrary my job satisfaction was the worst this year in my whole career. Friends as always were the high point and very supportive during my lows, added few more new friends into my circle.
Most of the year I was drowned in severe depression and the rest of time fighting back to normalcy. Overall this year went below average to my expectations.

Looking forwards for better years to come...
