2021

I don't know what to say about the last year. I mean, I had a lot of new things in my life. (the most important being that I got married!) Apart from that, I got a new job at Gartner.

​

And since most of us were working WFH, I started spending time on my hobbies and interests.

In fact, I started questioning myself about my career in terms of where do I see myself in the next 5 years or what do I really want to do in my life (though I believe the answer to this question is a lifelong quest :p).

​

Well, the idea now is to focus on what I love to do and focus on that.

2020

What can I say about this year? I guess we all shared something in common this year i.e. sadness and tragedies mainly. Personally, for me, a few things were horrible in my life. But with every dark cloud comes a silver lining. And for me, that was my marriage. Okay, technically I got married in 2021, but I did get engaged this year.

 

Anyway, I tried a few things and failed at most of them once again :p

​

  • Learn German (Tried but failed)

  • Watched The Office (US Version) for the umpteenth time

  • Worked on my Python skills (WIP) - I guess this will be a lifelong quest :p

  • Changed my job

  • Started focusing on improving my chess

  • Read a few more books, and realized fiction may not be that bad of a choice for reading

Well, this year my plan was to expand my skills in the domains in which I had "expertise" and learn some new skills along the way. Thus with that objective in my mind, the following were the goals for the year:
