Five years ago

  playing at the Taj
• Micheal Crichton was my favorite author
  
• The Gujarat earthquake took place and the Italian intern staying at my house ran out of the house in her underwear. Suddenly I was the coolest guy in the neighborhood. :D

The last one year

• By this time last year, I felt a huge sense of satisfaction. NSC, conference I was responsible for and IDC were right next to each other. Both conferences went off well. When I couldn't think of anything but hitting the sack, I had to get into a Presidents meeting, which refused to end and after that get into an endless number of meetings. Life was fun and hectic!
  
• I celebrated my first Diwali - without bursting any fire-crackers. It was an excellent team dinner, after which we enjoyed the fire-work display on marine drive. I wish I had my camera there!
