Should I do my year end reflection/appraisal on Diwali or new year or financial year? Or do all three anyways.
Diwali 2009 : I was in Mumbai. I think my bro and his family also were here. I forget. My start up had hit rock bottom, so did my relationship with my partner. Was exploring other partners.
Diwali 2008 : I was employed with a company. I took a couple of weeks off, came to Bombay. Was ambivalent about quitting that job. Actually had quit it but was asked to reconsider, take a break.
Diwali 2007: Was at home, in between jobs. I actually did not recall that till I googled out that it was on 9th Nov. My last day was I guess 2nd Nov. I was to leave for Bangalore on 12th Nov and start the new job on 15th Nov.
Diwali 2006 : I should have been at Mumbai at home. A difficult period, it was the last trimester before placements and the peer pressure was at its highest. I had actually given up on getting placed in slot zero( I was right), and take up an employment with India's number 2 IT services company. ( they did make an offer, I refused)
Diwali 2005 : I have no clue what was I doing where was I .Should have been in Bombay only.Celebrating with parents and all.
Diwali 1999: Was in hyderabad. Dad, I guess had come down barely after getting a day's leave. We did not have a land line at the rented house for three months. So had to go to a STD booth to call up dad. What was his number 9821... some BPL number.
There was that Diwali when we had celebrated it in our backyard in hyderabad.
The infighting amongst brothers on the type of crackers we wanted to buy. The list of available crackers at co operative stores.
The diwali when all other children had gone to watch an english movie in the auditorium. I had sat in the balcony, lit up a candle and put a light to the crackers on the balcony and kept dropping them down to the ground.
Shit, is this turning out to be some nostalgic memoir. Anyways
To quote myself from before, Here's me, the brute, the uncouth, the unstable, happying everyone. Have a good one and keep others around you happy as well.
Btw did I ever talk about that happiness and reasons, independence theory. Or the symbols-experience analogy.
