The year I leave behind..
I always think that in the overall scheme of things, a year is nothing but a man-made milestone that does not have any significance on a cosmic scale. But in general, it is a place from where you tend to look back and see how and where it ended for yourself.
And one tends to do that on all fronts – financial, personal, professional, social..
For me, I think this year was the saddest so far on personal front.. I lost an uncle and my father this year. Almost every day in your life, you gain some, you lose some.. but some of the things you lose are not worth lamenting. People, on the other hand are irreplaceable and you realize this the most after you lose them.
I think the family overall was doing good. You always wish your kid can grow up faster than you do but unfortunately that rate is same for everyone 
I think if your wife and kid are happy, most of you are happy anyway!
On the professional front, I would say this was a good year, not the best, however. I still kinda’ like to believe that the best is yet to come. Well, I am sure even Bill Gates must be thinking this way every day! 
That rounds up the year for me, one always wishes a lot from the future.. wonder how much can be packed in just one year and if God will just hold this post for it..
But still, I think, I would love to say next year that last year was the best so far, and would like all the years thereafter to start with the same comment! …………I think that should do it, right?
So let it be written.. and so let it be done!
