After 2020’s upheaval, I hoped we’d recovered, but 2024 brought new challenges, especially late in the year. Personally, it was decent—I restarted motorcycling, traveled, and enjoyed time with loved ones. Work was steady. As we navigate forward, may 2025 bring peace, meaningful adventures, and cherished moments with loved ones. Stay kind, and embrace the journey ahead!
The year 2023 was life-changing in a good way. We have Uma in our life, and though we were expecting it to happen, it was much more sudden and was a pleasant surprise. As of now, the year 2024 seems like a continuation of 2023. But before we enter 2024, here are the highlights of 2023.
I must say 2022 was a better year than 2020 or 2021, both personally and professionally. Many things which we started earlier; started showing results this year. Hopefully, the world has begun recovering from COVID as well.
A very happy new year to you all. I wish you the very best.
It was not better or worse than 2020. Well, it was worse than 2020. In 2020 we saw a mismanaged lock-down. In 2021 we saw thousands of deaths due to a mismanaged pandemic. It was disconcerting. Even the discussions around it were disturbing. At this point, even 2022 doesn’t look that great. Hopefully, it won’t be as bad as 2021. 🤞.
What a crazy year! I guess everyone was hoping this year will end soon. It has now. But for some reason, I think 2021 won’t be that different. Yes, there is a vaccine, and we all might get one. But there is so much that needs to be rebuilt. 2020 more than anything, showed how much our society is broken. At least for me. So rebuilding in 2021 will be equally frustrating and hard. Let’s hope “we” can together rebuild it.
I have a mixed feelings about 2019. This is the year that had made me rethink about many things so many times. Thankfully I had to change nothing much. But here are the highs and lows my life in 2019.
