A year end summary - as usual


Summing up a year is an exercise I quite enjoy doing. Biggest highlight of the year was, of course, getting married. 😊 It's been an enjoyable journey and have to say, by all means, this has been a good year, both personally and professionally.

In terms of my interests, I certainly could have done more - be it writing or watching movies or reading. But no regrets as I kept myself engaged, nevertheless.

Watched 38 movies this year - down from 61 last year, but that's ok. The following were the movies that I enjoyed the most this year (in no particular order):

1. Bohemian Rhapsody
2. 96 (Tamil)
3. Vada Chennai (Tamil)
4. Padman (Hindi)
5. 2 Point 0 (Tamil)

I did miss out on a few good movies and I hope to catch them soon. Prime amongst them were Pariyerum Perumal (Tamil) and Mahanati (Telugu).

Reading has certainly taken a backseat this year. I sincerely hope to correct this in 2019. Let's see.

Fitness goals were reached in the first half of the year (cue Wedding), and all the weight lost was regained in the 2nd half of the year. 😜 Anyway, this is one area for me to focus on this year.

The year had considerably less travel compared to the previous 2 years. The most memorable travel was the trip to Mauritius, post our wedding. Hope to travel to more (new) places in the coming year. Let's see.

One thing I ask myself at the end of every year is whether I have improved myself as a person (in all aspects) over the previous year. If the answer is yes, then that's progress. Happy that I've progressed this year. Hoping for the same to continue next year too.

Here's hoping for 2019 with all the things stated above and more. Cheers! 😊

Wish you all a very happy new year! 😊
