Bidding farewell to a great decade of my life – 2001 to 2010


Here comes an end of an amazing decade of my life where I experienced many phases of life. This was the decade where I grew from a ‘school going teen’ to an ‘Undergraduate collegiate of DU’ to a ‘Post-graduate aspirant at BIMTECH’ and finally a ‘Professional working at TCS’. This decade is gonna be most memorable thing in my life as I did ‘fulltime aish’ at DU and enjoyed Hostel life during MBA and many more stuff. I spent best times of my life in company of amazing people around me. 

One of the thing about this Decade which I am gonna miss life time is my Bachelorhood :(. I enjoyed being bachelor at its best during this period, especially during latter half of this decade be it last year of DU, hostel life of Bimtech, good times at B’lore or amazing time at Finland. I am gonna miss this in rest of my life. But I am sure that god has kept better things for me for coming decades of ma life. 



I earned most precious and lifelong friends of my life during this decade. They all mean a lot to me and are priceless for me :) And needless to say that this was the decade where my parents and family felt proud of me at times :-). 

One of the most amazing things about this decade in my life is that I traveled and live across different cities in India and also traveled to Helsinki and stayed here for so long. This was an amazing experience for me. I started this decade as a school student in Calcutta, then UG student in Delhi, then PG student at Gr. Noida, then a professional at B’lore, Chennai and finally here in Helsinki. I learnt most important lessons of my life during this decade from my family, friends and colleagues.

This was the decade which gave me more than I ever dreamt of in my life. I never thought that I will be stepping out of India and will be working somewhere abroad. I am thankful to God for all the hidden gifts which they gave me during this Decade :). God, please keep them coming :D.
The only thing I regret about this decade is losing my Dadi (grand ma) :(. I will always miss her and she will be always there in my heart!

Having said all of the amazing things which happened in my life during this decade, I will like to confess that there were lot of challenges and tough time during this period. I gave most scary exams in 12th standard. Broke my hand just a month before my CAT exams after preparing so hard.  Learning cooking in Finland and surviving on crappy self made food. Challenges in personal life, and many more. But all these made me better in life, for example I can cook well now!

I am thankful to God and my Parents foremost for such an amazing decade of my life. And am so much thankful to my family and ‘lovely friends’ without whom this decade would have been of no memory to me!! 

I wish that god give all of us a new decade full of happiness & wellbeing and help us in creating more cherish able memories to be adored forever !!
