2007 will be an awesome year! Either its just the number 2007 or something else - I dont know! But I know that this year will be something! Last year during this time, there was the thought of "now that your long-desired MBA is almost over, what next?". This time, its more like "why dont you do much more than what you are doing currently". So, the new year resolution is more like "maximizing potential" - and promising myself to think less, do more!! Too much thinking in the recent past has turned hair gray and double-guessed every move - no more! It's EFFECTUAL thinking and DOING over thinking for this year.
New Year's at Pondicherry...
The trip with old pals and some new faces started out rather well with visiting old pals in Chennai (my first time there - no specific observations, since it was just a transit stop). Good to meet old pals anytime! Then on, visited Mahabalipuram - lovely stone temple next to the seashore - and well maintained too. Onwards, the trip dipped in enthusiasm, as we were beset with lodging problems, driver problems, etc. The next day dawned with fresh hope! Alas, more driver problems! Then, lunch with uncle and finally visited the French-part of Pondicherry.
You know, Indians somehow are not too good with planning. The French part of Pondy is so neatly planned with quaint little houses, rectangular layout of blocks and paved streets - and just a kilometer away, is the chaos of yet another Indian town - what have we learnt ???!!!
The afternoon was spent in a nice French cafe, and evening too was spent there after much hunting around for greener pastures. Quiet ushuring in of the New Year and early start to the next day - Auroville - a place bookmarked to revisit and spend 2-3 days.
Back now to the grind - Cheers to the forthcoming year ahead!
