2012 Year End Update

I am not really a good writer or blogger, this blog of mine has lot of posts related to different things around my life. Most of it is on Drupal which is my bread n butter and on Delhi which is my home. Rest of the blog has stupid stuff and the whole blog if unorganized. I think sometimes that I should work on making this blog focussed on few topics only but then I feel that I prefer it to be unorganized. This is my space where I can write whatever I feel and let everything out. Just like a daily journal. I feel bad that I can't write everyday but anyways I write whenever I can.

I havent really written what is happening in my life recently. Though facebook and twitter is one place where I usually post non sense stuff everyday but as some of my friends pointed that it is too easy to get carried away there and it is just waste of time. So I again made up my mind not to spend too much time on fb. May be once in 2 days are enough. I really need to get my mind focussed and motivated. There is so much noise out there. I completely stopped watching TV and reading newspaper and I must say it is one of the best thing I did this year. Whatever happening in the world doesnt really bother me much rather at this point of time I need to get my life in order and give all my energy to that.

I am juggling between tasks and so much work that I feel tired now. I was not admitting it but I am also human being and I too get tired. Any form of physical, mental or emotional activity sucks our energy and we need time to refuel. I am trying hard to get things in order so that I can plan things better and find time to rest but it is hard. Either I am in front of computer or traveling to meet clients for work or doing stuff. 7 days a week I am on my toes, which is good but I am not really getting things done. Most of my projects are getting delayed and the quality of my work is going down. I don't like that to happen for long.

I was recently blessed with a baby girl, she is beautiful little baby and I just love holding her in my arms and hugging her. Probably the best thing in life. I just love to thought of carrying her in my arm. Life does change when you become parent. I really need to work extra hard now.

One thing I hate these days is not being able to get up at 4. I feel shameful. I do get up to turn off the alarm clock but just couldnt gather the energy to get out of the bed. May be I am just working to hard that my body demands the sleep or may be it is the winters and cold weather. In any case I need to re-thing and change some stuff to get back to my usual schedule. Last month I got irregular with gym but now I am going to gym regularly. I am probably in the best shape of my life right now and I feel proud. I currently weight 67Kgs, a bit under weight but my body is in good shape and I lost lot of extra fat that accumulated on my body. I am not realy taking enough diet these days because I am always running around and missing lunch but thats how it is. I try my best in every way to do things right as much as possible.

About work, well I am still working full time but as my team is global and I really dont need to go to office so I am cool with that. I am working 100% from home these days, but I really want to get rid of my job as soon as possible. It is going to be a big decision, though I am running decent money from sparxsys, my company but the income is not steady all the time but I am sure things are good now. Right now I may possibly get enough work to survive 1 year which is good thing. I was looking for office space recently as I am thinking of increasing my team as it is tough to work from home as a team. We need to have a place where everyone get together and work. so not sure when but soon we may move to some office. It will add extra burden but thats the price we need to pay to grow. I don't really want sparxsys to become main stream company. By September I am planning to grow our team to 10 people. Lets see how things turn out. I am sure 2013 is going to be good for me. Lot of new and existing projects may come in next few weeks and I am really excited, though sometimes I worry how will I manage so much work. I am not good in delegating work to other team members, which I need to learn as I can't really do everything on my own.

One thing I realized in life is that I worry too much. Can't help it but I need to control my feelings and specially my anger. Lot of things frustrate me but thats how life goes on. Ups and downs are part of life and I need to learn to cope with it. I really need to end this year on a good note and for the next few days I really want to follow my plans and daily schedule so that when I start 2013 I am in a good pace.

Feeling tired writing now and it is getting late too. So stopping here. Bye.
