Looking Back at 2011
// January 17th, 2012 // No Comments » // Random Musings
This post should have come on the first day or the year that is going to end but the lazyness has penetrated me deep into my blood.
Anyways I don’t believe in resolutions. I think most people make them just to alleviate the guilt that comes from not having accomplished last year’s resolutions.
I like to look back and reflect on what I actually accomplished and what happened in the past 12 months though. I generally like to just go with the flow so making New Year’s resolutions just seems silly to me.
Actually, I like the word ‘goals’ better. But then holding off until the New Year to set goals doesn’t make sense either. Anyway, 2011 has been an amazing year for me—somewhat bumpy and life-changing but definitely a great year, though no personal growth as such, but met a lot of new people with a lot of experiences, ups and downs.
2011 In Review
For me it was the year of travelling, fun, unstability and neglecting the professional priorities.But I think it went pretty well as i enjoyed all the time i had.
Professionally Speaking
While I absolutely love freelancing, i was not available to hire as i was much more busy with the college work, but now i am available for hire, and have a bunch of freelance projects lined-up for 2012, I realized that I was lacking stability. I guess that’s something all freelancers face at some point.
Not only that, but I’d also been wanting to work with a team for some time. Working for yourself is great, but it often means working by yourself and on your own. You can learn so much more when you work and exchange ideas with other people.
In 2011 I also tried starting a new company Caprefig — I spent quite a long time planning for this company, but before the start, my partners backed off and it was time for me to move on. I am still willing to make this company get into reality but right now i need to more concentrate on my freelance business, which always give me Great times. 
On Writing
This very blog you’re reading right now was launched in 2009. I wanted a place to write. I had no idea what to write about. I’m still not too sure. That’s totally fine. 
I find writing on a regular basis to be quite the challenge. Maybe it’s because english isn’t my first language. Hindi is. On the other hand I dislike writing in hindi, I much prefer the english language to express my thoughts and opinions. It’s more concise and straightforward. Actually, that’s a good idea for a future post.
Here’s an interesting fact: I have more articles saved as drafts on this blog than actual published posts.
Hello Twenty Twelve
Like I said, I don’t really believe in resolutions. So instead of making empty promises I probably won’t be able to keep, I’ll just come back to this post next year and see what I’ve accomplished
