“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” - Michael Altshuler
So, again an year has ended. A rationalist might say, whats the big deal? It does so end every year. But for me, its different. Especially, 2011. The way events unfolded this year, I am grateful to it. I thought it only fitting to have a wee recap of what the year has given and what I want to do next!
As it came, 2011 meant a lot to me. This is the year I began thinking seriously of my career. The career of a catastrophe modeler or a reinsurance analyst, that's what always i wanted to do. Placements over, I landed into the same job as i wished to with a leading hedge fund manager with the highest pay in my batch.
2012 has a lot to live up to but I am confident there is room for improvement. I don't make resolutions, but I do have a strong desire for certain things to happen and long wish lists just waiting for some check marks. ( less pressure when put that way.... )
Here's the list:
1. Learn as much as I can about catastrophe modeling:
2. Give CFA or CAS exams (I am yet to decide which one)
3. Enjoy night life in Hyderabad (that's the best way to spend hard earned money, ain't it?)
4. Find a social cause for which I am passionate and where I can donate my time and talent to.
5. I would like to meet the whole of my relatives ( Some of them I dint talk to in years)
6. Buy a car (abhi toh koi si bhi chalegi..)
7. Have a tour to the north east with my family.
8. Finally, I wish to start writing a book (my be a sci-fi...:P).
A very Happy New Year, let the bygones be bygones...!!
