2008 - Christmas and New Year

Well, the last blog of 2008. Life has been so good in 2008 but not sure whether 2009 will be the same as 2008! Ironically, whatever and however we need to live with it.

Everyone in office have already gone into holiday mood and few people have already gone on Holidays. Sadly, few lives became the victims of redundancy drive. My heart goes to all of them. And wish them a very good luck for next year and their next career path.

Andrew Moss, CEO of Aviva Group came personally to everyone who work in St.Helen's and greeted for Christmas and new year. Its nice to see such a authority come individually to you and wish for a good break. I talked to him for almost two minutes and those two minutes will be most memorable.

I'm here just waiting for 2008 to fade away in front of my eyes. I can also see 2008 giving birth to 2009 but die before it gives birth to it. Hope 2008 wishes me a very good luck/life with its child.

Hello December..

Being in London, I won't be forgiven if I don't write anything about December on my blog. Because, the month of December is so special to everyone around here. Right from the Pantomime to Pressies, everything becomes so special. So much so difference you can observe on the roads. With crowded streets, decorated shops and glittering demonstration lights. people in search of gifts for their loved ones becomes the sole objective of the month. Offices throw party for their employees. Colleagues get together for a year end pints. Even the Starbucks coffee start to taste differently.

My life has also observed few special moments in this month. I attended the first Christmas party of my life. I did my second Christmas shopping on the streets of London. I met few new people and get to know few more new things about my company.

Half of the month gone by I sit here in excitement to see how things go during Christmas!
