Tidbits of 2012

A visit to this blog after 9 months and I find a lot of blogs in my reader list are private. A lot of changes have happened since then. The anniversary post was the last one. I am still in the same company, but I have switched cities now. From barren Omaha to much happening Dallas in southern Texas.
 
If Omaha was having lot of South Indians, then Dallas has Indians from all over India (good to hear Hindi).  Moving to a new city is never easy. Need to wind up from the old city and pack everything. Then dump a lot of things even if you don't want to. But still to accommodate in 1 big bag and avoid giving extra money to the airline, you got to dump a lot of stuff.  Close out and then in new city open the new accounts again. Its tough, trust me.
 
We have now moved 4 cities in close to 3 years of our marriage. Pune, India to Owings Mills, MD to Omaha, NE and now in Dallas, TX.  7 years in Pune and now 3 cities in 3 years. I got bored of Omaha as in there were no attractions. And 2012 has been a year of travel. Every 2 months when we felt there is nothing much to do, we have hopped on to a flight or got onto a car and travelled. Snapped lot of photographs, stayed in lot of hotels, got so many airline points in terms of miles travelled, invested in lot of photographic equipments.
 
Travelled  to India, then back here, then 3 trips  to California and not to forget St Louis to visit our new born nephew Addu. He then visited us in September and we were so charmed with him. Kids make you so happy!!!
 
I started photography this year and when I was not working and travelling, I was photographing. Hopefully I maintain the vigor, zeal to continue writing. My writing skills have been on wane. Especially non-cricketing stuff.  Writing was first thing I felt proud of myself and so in coming days I hope to continue writing. Good comments shall make it even more motivating.
