Touch...

Just touching my blogger account after such a long time!! Its been more that 2 years that I last blogged. The world seems to have changed quite a bit since then...

1. Twitter came in to shift the focus from blogs to tweets
2. I joined Yahoo India and took UniversityHiring from full-time to part-time
3. Aayush joined Amazon India.
4. We shifted from one part of Bangalore (Millers Road) to another (NGV Koramangala) to another (HSR Layout)
5. Investment banks bringing a new wave in IITs - and then bringing darkness in global economy.
6. Obama bringing new hope for the world
7. Yahoo India launching some of the important releases (MRP) for Advertiser Apps.
8. Reorg within Yahoo hitting me hard - got 3 managers in a period of 1.5 years.
9. IPL bringing lot of players under a single umbrella - great perf by Rajasthan Royals last year - Pieterson/Flintoff getting 1.5 mn - really a blessing for him during recession :)
10. My GF shifted to BLR and since then my movie index has gone up dramatically. (Movie index is a term I just coined - mathematical defn = No of movies (non-pirated) watched in a week) - In short a loser got a life :)
11. Some great movies made people laugh/cry/think - Jane tu ya jane na, taare zameen par, slumdog millionaire, khuda kay liye, a mighty heart...
12. Many reunions with friends planned - none executed
13. My sister getting married...

On the other hand - quite a few things are still the way they were;

1. Metro train construction in BLR
2. Politicians never getting mature - every thing has a political impact - be it malegaon or mumbai attack or mangalore incident
3. My tummy
4. domestic airfares - actually went up and then came back to where they were 2 yrs back :)
5. I still sleep on a mattress without a cot :)

What else... nothing up on my mind right now... lets keep the rest of it for the next blog post.. hope the next interval is smaller that 2 yrs...
