Dusting off the old blog.

Ah well... last year i did the unthinkable and quit my family business... i've since tried out a stint in public relations and eventually found advertising. I've started a company with an old army friend - Lightmen Private Limited, dealing with LED lighting solutions and LED display panels. He plays the part of the engineering genius and i handle all aspects of marketing.

Last year in May i made my wish list... lets see what i've managed to accomplish..

Things i hope to achieve in no particular order:
1) Weight loss. with a time lapse video no less for that emotional victory. (umm.. not done)
2) Become a better Photographer. Learn more and shoot more pictures. (still not as good as i wanna be)
3) Become a better Guitarist. Learn more and play more guitar. (still not as good as i wanna be)
4) Start my own business. (Lightmen Private limited! woooot!)
5) Be Happy. (had my ups and downs... but happier overall!)

2/5 isn't what i would claim a personal victory. Im a little disappointed with myself.

Come to think about it... June 2009 till now (Feb 2010) has been a pretty kick ass journey.
I wouldn't have done anything differently. However i still do need to lose weight and improve my photography and musical skills. I still have around 3 months to set those in motion!!!!

thats it for this post and i'll leave with an inspiring quote.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others..." - Nelson Mandela


All of us are special in our own way - yes including you.
