2022: The Year In Review

Overall, 2022 is yet another fantastic year that I have enjoyed a lot.

Q1: I was WFH for the first three months and things were going as they were in 2021 - work, pets, movie watching. I was trying to start reading books and it was very hard for me to concentrate or find the appropriate time to read the book.

Q2 & Q3: After a long time, I started going to the office. I liked the WFH and I also liked the WFO. I was unusually busy with office work during that period. There were EXITs and new joiners in my team that kept things a bit tight. WFO includes commute time to the office. That was important as that would be my book reading time. I slowly started reading books regularly.

Q4: I kept myself extremely busy during this period. Busy was not necessarily on the right things, but was doing something every minute. Work at office, reading books while commuting and watching movies or playing with pets at home.

It wasn’t so great with the movie selection this year. I didn’t like most of the movies I watched, especially the non Tamil movies. However, there were a few good ones. Jana Gana Mana (Malayalam), 777 Charlie (Kannada, I am a pet lover), Anjaam Pathira (Malayalam), Jungle Cry (Hindi), Mudhal Nee Mudivum Nee (Tamil), Runway 34 (Hindi).

Most of the books I read were okay and some of them were excellent. 1) Good to Great by Jim Collins 2) Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson 3) Our Iceberg Is Melting by John Kotter 4) His Bright Light by Danielle Steel (emotionally disturbing). The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas was unusual for my kind of reading.

I was regular on FB for sometime and then I thought I would check on Saturdays, but slowly failed to check it at all. I think I was bored with the contents inserted by FB. And still worse was my usage of LinkedIn.

I was decent with my expenses ;)

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
