Update

It has been pretty long time since I blogged. Though I have not been much busy, with the use of Facebook and Twitter I have lost most of my motivation to blog. Today, I thought it is about time to post an update about what is happening with me.

I didn't watch as many movies as last year, but finished watching all the Oscar nominated movies of this year. Same was with serials. Game of Thrones was as good as ever especially with the way last few episodes went. There was The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother to make me smile when my parents used to watch those dreadful Marathi serials about sas-bahu. Of course, not all such serials are bad. I am glad to have watched the live season of Eka Lagnachi Tisari Goshta. Isha portrayed by Spruha Joshi is simply amazing. So are other casts, and dialogues are amazing. Sadly the serial will end in next week, but then as Harvey Dent says in The Dark Knight - "You either die as a  hero or live long enough to become a villain." I don't want it be dragged for multiple years till it becomes a soap opera.

Anyways, this year I have concentrated more on reading. I tried to read different types of books this time. It was amazing to read the classic like Dracula which I never expected to be so much interesting. Then there was Luck by Ed Smith which almost entirely represents my thoughts about luck.There were finance books as usual like Alchemy of Finance, Random Walk Down the Wall Street, Common Sense on Mutual Funds and Lombard Street, but I couldn't finish these books even up to half way mark. I had to skim through these books as they had the same concepts repeated across the book. After reading A Short History of Nearly Everything, I decided to read a bit more science history and ended up reading Cosmos and A Brief History of Time. They were amazing to read and brought back the nostalgia of reading science books in school/junior college. In Marathi, I enjoyed reading few books written by the great P. L. Deshpande.

Apart from this lot of things have changed since July. Two of my best friends from school moved out of Mumbai for their career. First Viraj got promoted to Officer and was transferred to Amaravati and then Nikhil joined Indian bank as an Officer in Mysore. So now it is only Aditya and myself left in Mumbai. I would have indulge more in hobbies to avoid the feeling of loneliness.

I did feel a bit sad about missing my brother's convocation. I really should have been there to see him receive his degree from Steve Balmer. But as fate has it, not all things happen as you desire.

Last but not the least, the search for the right partner is still on, dunno when it will end!
