Goal of this year (As I believe happens to quite a few of my age group who have not yet realized the real world responsibilities and are still living "in" their dreams) is to get more organized and focus on a To Do list. I have created one and shared it with Sukhada. I did feel that the list was realistic and achievable and I really hope I can finish things every month and be on track.
I moved out of New York and joined Intel couple of months back. Perhaps a very important and satisfying decision as I am learning a lot. I am also getting more time to focus on myself and improve my skillset. I am feeling every passing day that I can take on more challenges.
Weather in Portland is something which reminds me of all the good things I had in California and Florida - perhaps 2 of the best places I have spent my time in. If I were to win couple of million $$, I would just buy a house in Florida, get a one-way ticket for me & Sukhada and settle down. Portland is not bad - just the rain which does not stop; even if you sing "Rain rain, go away...".
After a long time I was hearing some of the new tracks from Coke Studio Pakistan. I am not sure why the Indian version disappoints me every time I hear it and I get more amazed with Sufi based soothing melodies of Rohail Hyatt's creation. I just listened to few tracks from Zara Madani (who participated in quite a few background chorus vocals in many of the Coke Studio tracks) and they are just amazing. Somehow this reminds me that you might not have that celebrity status but still possess that lovely talent which can do magic.
I hope 2014 brings peace, happiness and stability in all our lives. Cheers!
