Turned thirty a month ago. Maybe it is time to make some changes. But before thinking about what to do next, I may have to sit back and think about how different I am from when I was twenty. Sometimes it is hard to think back 10 years and even though I might remember all the events that transpired, I am not very sure I still remember the person I was.
One thing that was definitely different was that I was blogging. Blogging a lot more. The days in college gave me enough amusing things to blog about or at least start. I used to find topics to write about easier at the least. There were phases in my college life too, but with that would hold true for most of my batch mates as well, and probably has to do with changing times and the age in which many find themselves.
I do not remember what was going through my head in the intervening couple of years where I went from Bangalore to Hyderabad. There were several interesting characters in my life who I fear I will forget to give the importance they deserve later in my life. I believe the main changes happened during the phase where I was hanging out with my new Hyderabad buddy a lot. I would consider that the second phase of my 20s. That phase lasted through meeting Carol and of course getting married. The person I am now would not have agreed to getting married, nor would have committed to relationship this fast.
Coming to the US did not do much to change me much in the first two years. The marriage thing blew over quick enough, and I was free. Maybe when I have time I will fill in the gaps in the years.
The past month was a whirlwind with preparations for congresses, supposed trips to Dubai, the birthday celebrations for the 30th and the two year anniversary with Kristen. I wish I had a day or two to sit somewhere and ponder over this past decade, but I highly doubt whether that would happen. I cannot remember the last time I had a weekend of doing nothing.
