These photos were taken sometime towards the end of October 2003.
So much has changed since then. Some people have drifted away some have come closer and some are just as they were. Those were the happiest days of my life. Even though I was away from home, the days were good as were the people I spent them with.
The highlight of the year though was meeting Abha at a dinner in New Delhi.
YEAR: 2004
LOCATION: Battersea Park Arena, London, UK / Taj Hotel, New Delhi, India
Me standing up on the stage at the UK Computing Awards Function.
Me with my friends at Taj Hotel.
The year 2004 was an amazing year for me. I became financially independent during that time. I also did many other 'great' things. The highlights of 2004 included meeting Arti (my best female friend) and the marriage of my sister. That year I (re)discovered the value of friends and friendships. They kept (and still keep) me going!
YEAR: 2005
LOCATION: New Delhi, India / Melbourne, Australia / Bristol, UK
A ticket for jumping a red-light (the fun we had inside the Courts!).
On the Great Ocean Road, Melbourne, Australia.
Me and my friends in Bristol, the most amazing bunch (Johnson, Me, Amol and Bhuvan).
The year 2005 was even better than 2004. Both on a personal and public front. The highlight was having Amol as a housemate. He was just as crazy as I was. Then there was the trip to Australia (for a conference) and meeting my sister (Nupur) for the first time after marriage. My trip to India was amazing thanks largely to my Mom.
Also my close friend Varun got married (another one bites the dust!).
2006 as yet has been amazing too. Met many new people and made some very good friends (Sorabh and Vikas among them). But as they say.. happiness has a short shelf life.. thus I always believe in sharing my happiness with other people. I hope after seeing this post the people mentioned here will carry around a smile with them (at least for a few hours!) as they remember the good times.
For those people not mentioned in this post. You guys and gals are even more important to me and thats why I have not mentioned you. So please don't get angry!

Don't worry just passed your name and not your blog or the exotic nick (my pronunciation isnt that good!). So your secret is safe.
