2009 is one of those unforgettable years in my life, both at personal and professional levels. Some success, some failures, some struggles and some achievements - overall, 2009 had been a well balanced in terms of events. Well, I'm not going to discuss all of those here because if I do, you might click on the 'ËœX' on the top-right of your screen. Instead, I'll just record some of my thoughts that are related to this blog alone. Let's start:
