The
year 2011 was truly an unforgettable year. I couldn’t have asked for anything
more. I worked hard and partied hard too.
I do remember where I celebrated the New Year eve. of 2011. We (me, my roommate, his girlfriend) went out partying that night of Dec-31-2010, in downtown Washington DC (started with Brass Monkey I guess) and I was down six large pegs of Royal Canadian Whisky, when we left the house. As expected, I had couple of more drinks after that, in the pub. The thing which I remember the most is me getting totally drunk and capturing the entire bar. I literally stopped anyone coming closer to the bar and asked the bartender that I will buy everyone a drink here.And I sat on the bar top and drank my drink.
As expected, they threw me out. Someone informed my friend that your friend is thrown out of the pub and he and his girlfriend came out too.Then we went to couple of more bars/pubs where I flirted with some Chinese gals and then we came back. I have no memories for the portions I haven’t described.
Just like any other year I don’t remember what I did on my B’day, somehow I don’t have great memories of my B’day (maybe bcz I don’t do anything special).But I do remember that my good friend sent me a cake and I cut the cake and celebrated the B’day, with her , on Skype. So sweet and caring of her!
February and March went in the launching of our new system here at The Washingtonpost. I was very busy in that and also I was searching for a new apt. for myself, in the downtown, as I got fed up with the commute. One other reason was WaPo hired me full time, offering me ridiculous amount of salary+Bonus.
In March, I went to Florida, to attend wedding of a very good friend. It was nice to revisit Tampa, where I went to school and all my friends. Checked out couple of pubs, danced all night.Attended wedding and danced and drank.Also, went to Sunshine Skyway Bridge and St.Pete. One of the best afternoons of my life (yes, my life), I had it over there. I was hung over and I stopped at The queens head Bar in St.Pete. to have brunch. Amazing ambiance and nice sea breeze.A must if you are in St. Pete.
April, I moved to my new apt. It was and is a great apt. in many senses. It is very conveniently located, very quiet (DC is very infamous for fire engines), very spacious, great view (saw fireworks from my rooftop) and most importantly affordable. It also gives me luxury to just walk to my office and to my fav. Pubs.
Also, watched India winning Cricket world cup, first time during my life time.
May - I got rid of my old car. It was a very trustworthy companion and been with me for couple of years. I roamed along east coast in that car and it never gave me any trouble at least on the road. Also, in May , I went first time to Sin city -- Las Vegas, NV. Although, I went with a dude, but then, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
June is when I bought my dream car the BMW-3 Series Coupe. Not a very expensive car, but big deal to buy new in your 20’s.Also, I got it customized, had to wait for that. Wish I had some vacation and some cash, to go to Germany and get a factory tour. May be for my next car, Amen!
May and June were also crazy partying month….lots of Beer and lots of babes!
July, August went in dating this random gal, whom I met in a dance club. She was very caring and all that but as usual I couldn’t handle it. It was during these months when I had most of my getaways and lots of long drives. Anyways…
September is when my boss, went to India and I ended up being the main work horse (if I was not the one).It was being crazy with managing so many teams, working after hours, killing my already dead personal life.This month I was busy doing so much shopping and other preparation related to my India trip…
October, I reached India, met my friends in Delhi….enjoyed Delhi in its full flavor….Met my parents and my college friends, had great time with them….then my all India trip started with me visiting Gwalior….Indore….Mumbai…Goa….Shirdi…etc…. The dust and heat made me go crazy…But still, I love my India!
After over a month trip to India, I came back to Washington DC, in November. I felt homesick and lonely. I felt like,”where all the people are? “.After all, I was coming from India (Population Guys). Also, it took me good one month to get used to my routine and job. Thanksgiving I stayed home and served my company.
December went like a breeze. We launched a new Web System, which I myself was working on, since last couple of months. Then worked on couple of other housekeeping jobs. Christmas happened, and again I served my company and then went to Times Square for Celebrating New Year.
In between, I also went to ocean city, Atlantic City, West Virginia, New York City etc. I drove my BMW for more than 2500 miles…Got many traffic tickets…Flirted with many gals…Won $1600 at Casino…Bought another Mac book 15”….Spent so many Sunday afternoons having brunch and basking in glory of DC sun…
All in all, a year to remember for my entire lifetime!
