An Ode to 2022!

 


On many fronts, 2022 gave us an opportunity to reflect on our blessings and celebrate our highs!



When our home heating system stopped working recently for 4 cold days, and we got our thermals out, it seemed like all hell had broken loose! 

We quickly counted our blessings when a wise owl whispered in our ear, "think of the frigid, long winter that the good folks in Ukraine have to endure with no solution in sight!"



The coronavirus continues to morph and test our individual beliefs and collective resolve as a global community.

We salute you, our scientists and healthcare samaritans, for your relentless battle to beat the virus. 

Without you, we would not have been able to connect with each other beyond Zoom. 




How can we forget the goosebumps from the euphoric cry of Goooooooooooooal!  

Isn't it amazing that a simple sport can unify humanity with joy across all countries, demographics, cultures, and religions?



It was pure bliss to join hands with my batch mates to make a contribution to the largest-ever Alumni Group Gift to our alma mater, IIT Madras. 

Thank you, IIT, for molding us to be engineers for a paltry tuition fee of only a few hundred dollars.




A big shout out to my friend, who inspired me to join him on my first ever backpacking trip on the Lost Coast Trail - a 3-day, 27-mile adventure over grueling, rugged terrain.



Above all, the greatest blessing I cherish each year - the fascinating coaching conversations I have with leaders. 

Your insights on seeking purpose in life and profession and our laughs together are always memorable gifts. Thank you!


Here's to an awesome 2023!
