2010 : Looking back

2010 was an eventful year for me..financially there were a couple of big decisions I made which would impact the next 2-5 years of my Life, to say the least.

Of financial Nature:
#1:
Under persistent pressure from my family, I gave into their desires and signed on the dotted line...
Hollaa...I booked a Flat worth more than ***** times the annual compensation
of a respectable PL. Thia was in February this year. Its a township and I will be "delivered" the 15 floor flat after 2 and a half years!!!
However, ther is something I did to my liking:

I booked it on 11th Floor, hill view. Sweet!

Not sure how I would manage the Loan though. Any ideas, Brutus?

#2.
I did something which was due for 2 years now.
I booked a 4 wheeler right before the finish line of 2010. In December end.
That scraps off my half year's compensation roughly.
But its worth it I guess.

The car is eye popping ...absolute Looker and grey.
Will get it by end of Jan 2011.

Not sure how I will pay for this as well!


#3.
I purchased some neat Cane Furniture for Bedroom.



I think I got a great deal from a roadside vendor.
Its for less than a decade of INRs and slightly more than Pancham Da's number!

#4
Tricked into purchasing useless MFs by my a Banker who was assigned to my case
by her supervisor. Also bought some long term bonds for tax savings.
Thanks Pranav Da for Infra Bonds.I am sure he can mange a few more of such
premises for tax exemption in 2011.

..I will stop before I further elaborate on many other conquests of Big Bazaar and D Marts which I managed in my weekly forays.

#5:
Lost substantial amount in equities.
Though I am still invested in them but the stock instrument is stuck like an FD.

Non Financial - Professional events:
#1.
Ahem.. I have managed a Visa for a country which is generally considered comparatively difficulty to acquire.
Its basically a work permit for a couple of years in the country.
It gives anyone freedom to seek employment after arrival.
Can't get the damn office to reimburse it though.

Might put it to some use later.


#2: Gymming: Did make use of official time and facilities.He He.

Things which should have reached a closure albeit they didn't:
#1: ******** ...ahem.
#2: GMAT : Didn't take this year.Should have.
#3: Fine Arts/ and Photography: Avenues that have been on the periphery far too long.
#4:On Air and Under/Over water Antics: Still planning!
#5:Goa, Rishikesh,Kerala and Laddakh: Someday.Someway.Together.. MLTR comes alive.


That's it folks! Will jot down 2011 plans sooner than later.
Cheers.
