Flashback time

3 months since I started my blog....so much has happened these 3 months - placements, lakshadweep, comvocation, etc....and now I am back home for good...more abt all that later but first......

Today I visited my old farmhouse in Alibaug for the first time after we sold it abt 2 years ago. It brought back memories of the priceless weekends I have spent there over 10 years. Sitting on the jhoola watching the mountains with the cool sea breeze ruffling my hair....Ahh, that was paradise...then there were the marathon card playing sessions.....the nighttimes spent watching the clear, star-studded night sky from top of the water tank...and not to forget cricket in the verandah

It was truly my second home...one which my dad had built and maintained with so much passion....But like all good things this too came to an end 2 yrs ago and today I was merely a visitor to this former home of mine

Break free

What made me start my blog?...Well, I have been thinking about it for a long, long time but never came down to actually writing it.....But I had promised myself that I would get started before the end of the year and it had to be before I leave campus for the vacation....So here I am writing my first blog at 11 PM in the night when I have to get up at 4 to catch an early morning flight to B'bay (I hope my Mom never gets to read this coz otherwise I am in for a scolding)

The last 18 months have been an experience of a lifetime......I have achieved a lot during this time but as always I could have done better......Made a lot of friends.......Mixed experiences - moments of joy and ecstacy interspersed with disappointments and missed opportunities galore........I have worked very hard these 18 months - first in SCON and then FY......and I have earned the respect of a lot of ppl.....And I can proudly say that I never compromised on my principles and have never shirked my reponsibilities nor done freeriding on anyone else.

Now its time for me to plan ahead....What do I want to do in life? Do I want to go into Corporate Finance or Treasury or I-Banking?.....I have given myself 1 week to decide on this...Hopefully the break will help me.

And its time to break free from the shell I live in....from living with the memory of past mistakes and lost chances....from my inhibitions and fears

Time for a new beginning!!!
