My 14 beautiful memories of Year 2017

What I learnt in 2017- “No one is a consistent winner and no one is a consistent loser”

My 2017 started on a bad note.. I was going through a very tough phase of my life. No job and few other small issues...!!
But, the only thing needed was to keep moving. I knew stars are not visible during day time but during night they shine and are visible.

Here are the 14 reasons for which I will cherish and remember 2017 for my entire life.

1.     Moved to the City of Dreams (Mumbai) and that was my home for 9 months. A city which gives you fruits for the efforts you put in. A city that is true reflection of hard work and dedication. 
2.     They say fall in love when you are young. So, I dated one and able to maintain my status from Single to Secret. ;)
3.     Quit/controlled on hard drinks- broke up with Rum/Whiskey so I can truly love Beer.
4.   Apart from my corporate classy job I entered into the field of trek leading and happily served 500+ trekkers in the Western Ghats and the Himalayas.
5.     Learnt time management - life is for one who bounces back on time. I learnt a new chapter. I reply for all the conversation which is meant for two individuals within a time frame of 20 mints (it may be WhatsApp/Messenger/Instagram/Text/Email or call).
6.   Became part of STOK Kangri summit and successfully climbed it (the highest trekkable peak).
7.     Ran my 3rd full marathon and successfully completed it.
8.     Explored Leh Ladakh on Royal Enfield with one of my best friends.
9.     Became part of two survival treks and learnt how to survive on mountains and in forest with basic amenities (limited/no food and water).
10.   Met with back injury while climbing one of the mountains in Himalaya's. Still in pain but hope to recover soon.
11.   Explored Nepal with family- they say Nepal is a beauty. So, planned my trip with beautiful ladies my mother and sister.
12.   Quit corporate classy job to live a life of saint in Himalayas. Travelled and explored Himalayas for 2 months.
13. Became part of trek leading company as a partner and started taking care of Karnataka and Himalayas trek operations. (So, next time when you planning for any trek/trip/tour feel free to contact me :p )
14. They say marry the one who knows swimming, driving and cooking. So finally, I wore apron and entered into the kitchen.

There used to be always several ups and downs. Each day I used to accept new challenges and defeat fear…

Life Goes on … Keep reading… Wish you all HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018
