2008 has gone by quietly and 2009 has arrived with new aspirations, hopes and surprises. At this juncture I fell that it is imperative to review the year 2008 for my own self.
The year started nicely, I was interning in Goldman Sachs and I was interviewed for a job there. I was nearly sure that I will get thru. That place has been really nice to me, in parts though.
In the later month (Feb - March) I was informed that the position for which I was interviewed has been scrapped by the head office. 2008 didn’t treat me really well during that period.
Feb – May, my life revolved around college, recruitment, managing short attendance, sleeping, partying and getting nostalgic about 5 years of my college life (May 2008, I graduated from National Law University, Jodhpur). Till march I saw everybody around me giving interviews and getting recruited, but somehow I wasn’t really worried about the recruitment, I somehow knew that something good would happen. Therefore, I kept myself busy with the above.
By the end of March I got recruited by Ernst & Young. Once again a personal Endeavor. Obviously, after the recruitment rest of the term in college was much more relaxed and fun.
April and May were spent in catching up with lot of things…. Life was taking a full circle, so much so that the last end term was on 3rd May, 2008 (Saturday) and NLU, Jodhpur entrance exam was on 3rd May, 2003 (Saturday).
May 6th I left college forever, it was a weird feeling, a feeling of nostalgia, excitement, sadness etc etc… I didn’t get time to relax after that, I joined work on 12th of May and since then life has been hectic…very very hectic.
Six months just went by in no time within this time I settled in a totally new environment of my company, learned a totally different area of law, shifted my house from Lucknow to Noida..... all in all started a new life!!
On a personal front too year 2008 was a roller coaster....Dec – Feb I was in Bangalore but it was a nice time spent with friends ETC. Feb – March was kinda tough and it taught me a lot of things in its own way and for its own reasons.
After that once again the life seemed smooth and then I started work and the things changed again… but it seemed that my priorities and meaning of life changed a bit…
Thus, from the above, I would construe that life in the year 2008 was exciting, unexpected, fun and filled with all the feelings which anyone could feel… I would always look back in 2008 for some choicest and cherished memories and forward to 2009 for hope!!
Till I write more..
adios
