Its that time of the year to clear leaves and also to stretch your legs and relax.  What better time to spend Christmas back home with family and friends.  Going back home to Hyderabad tonight.  Will be back in Singapore only in the new year.

Lots of cakes, cookies, appam, stew, hyderabadi biryani and the festivities await.  This will be our first Christmas back home since I got married.  Really looking forward to it.  Looking to go around the city and take the sights and sounds of the city i lived in.

Its really been a wonderful year. Tough no doubt but, professionally satisfactory.  At the beginning of the year moved to a new department, attended a course and got certified.  Worked in a more structured way.  Learnt the importance of documentation and keeping my foot down to say NO.

Raring to go into the new year.  Lots of things planned for the new year.  Gotta make some really radical decisions.  Cant wait.  Not to mention, completed 11 years in Singapore on the 4th of December 2011.  Time has just sped by.  Have spent a third of my life here in one of the most progressive and dynamic cities in the world.  Have made some great friends for life.

Let me take this opportunity to wish the best of the season to all of you and your loved ones.  Have fun and enjoy the holidays.

Orchard Road light up for Christmas more than a month in advance.  Am so used to seeing the light up for the past 11 years. Just felt ho-hum this time.  Nothing so exciting.  Maybe a classic case of familiarity breeding contempt.  Nevertheless, hats off for taking pains decking up the whole few kilometers of road in lights, glitter, trees and other paraphernalia.

Its the final week leading into my faviourite times of the year.  Its Christmas time.  I love the feeling.  Wish i was back home to the cold, wintery temperatures of Hyderabad.  Not to forget the warm cakes, appams, chicken stew and other eatables, the christmas trees, the star in front of the house, the singing of carols….

Put up the Christmas tree at home quite early this time.

Happy Holidays

The other day I had been to Changi Airport, Singapore and clicked the first pictures of Christmas decorations this year.
