The year started with an unexpected promotion, considering I was promoted just 6 months ago. This, in my eyes, makes the stint at Infosys quite successful as I have been promoted twice while being a recipient of 2 awards, all in less than 2 years.
The days that followed were filled with kite-flying and hogging Undhiyu with family. It has been a while since we had such a large family gathering, and their presence made my favourite festival even more enjoyable.
With February came a short but eventful trip to Varkala for my uncle’s wedding. The journey was abysmal in every way possible thanks to Indian Railway’s management or lack thereof, and was equally amusing thanks to Trivandrum’s Domestic Airport – it looked less like an airport and more like some commercial complex. This trip provided a much needed break from city-life, and left me yearning for a few more days in the resort. Hopefully, I will be able to revist the place soon.
