New Year 2013

Within few hours, we will be hitting 2013, yet another year, increase in age, knowledge, maturity, cost of living, stress levels, and expectations.

Just before, that, wanted to reason-out, how did I do in 2012, at various levels.

At Personal Level

The 2012, did NOT start at a better & positive note. Instead of looking it as upset, trying to extract it as a lessons, to pray to the almighty, which should NOT be repeated in future. So, as a person, I felt, I have become, more understanding, listening, and willing to extend true help at physical, emotional, social, and (if within limits)financial also, without expecting any returns.

Reference to travel to workplace and residence, which demands around 70 kms everyday, have really eaten-up my energy level, to a great extent. Due to non-availability of flexible working opportunity, my personal time of visiting temple daily, lost it directly. This is really making me to feel, very guilty.

During few upsets, frustrations, embarrassments, disappointments, learnt the need & value of the spouse and family members. Even though spouse role is vacuum, but roles played by other family members are awesome and highly appreciated. This is one of the energy source, which making me run again and try for betterment. 

At Professional Level

I have taken-up new assignments, with new department, new teams, to realise new expectations. I got this opportunity, through the support of a person(who is a real gem), whom I got to know, when I was attending regular professional get-together networking sessions. This made me to understand, the need of connecting regular with professional get-together sessions.

At the execution level, rather than controlling & managing team, I let people to operate to their fullest extent, in the form of freedom and providing guidance, on critical situations, with constant & continuous support to them. This has given positive & negative results. Learning to minimize negative & increase positive results and impacts.

Beyond regular responsibility level, delivered, few training sessions, for the new upcoming professionals. This has given, better visibility, across the geography and keen in continuing the same.

At Public Level

Social Level

Our country is becoming quiet scary and sensitive land. By expressing few comments, at public in any social networking for the betterment of public, government have locked'em up. On the other side, so many people are yelling on the reference of inflation, increase in cost of living, corruption, Non-availability of power(which is directly impacting so many small & very small industries)....seems no-one is listening...caring...responding the same.

Instead government is suggesting, to generate power for household, by solar panel, develop roads by collecting funds from the people staying in that locality, threatening to reduce gas supply....well I am really getting confused, why the government is punishing instead of caring. We all pay taxes, still government, does not seems to showing the care. I am NOT confident to ask them why?

Economic Level

Representing in IT field, which really makes us to feel that we are getting more and cared well, but understanding & reference to present situations, I am surviving with same financial bracket, for almost last 5-7 years. The industry also, lost its attraction, shine and power to hire. In a way, we are slowly becoming like any other normal industry.

Conclusion

Overall the experience in 2012, is below average and hoping 2013 to be beyond average, to make it average. Precisely, I am looking in 2013, with stable, reliable, decisive, responsive government, with ONLY focus of caring citizens of the land. This land need to prosper with lots of opportunity, love, care, fortune, joy, were we do NOT know the meaning of cry. I am aware that my expectation is greedy, but it never mind.

At personal level, I am keen in taking few steps, by discussing with few financial experts, business professionals, Accounting experts, to evaluate various options, to leverage passive income channels. Almighty, need to bless me with the wisdom to learn and share with all my fellow men, to make their life bright, shine to keep growing, glowing and going.

WISHING YOU ALL HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013
