D'Joe Philip: December 2010

Happy New Year Folks!

Joe in 2010 A Retrospect!!!!

2010 was yet another fantastic year!!

As every year, it started with my family and of course in a Holy Place with God’s Blessings THE CHURCH!!!

It was a great turning point of the year because I stepped into a new stage of my life, yes its CAREER STAGE. I have started my career as a Business Head in an advisory services company. I am really thankful to God that he gave me a wonderful opportunity. Apart from that loads of tours and hangs were there of course with friends and family. Rare meetings, ups and downs, more have shared below.

I am just sharing the Best of the events of 2010!!

Family:

When it came to family, it was a special year. June 14^th 2010 => Dad and Mom’s Silver Jubilee Anniversary, really I was very happy for them and just prayed and wished that they should continue their Journey in the same way. Health wise Dad and Mom was absolutely good and they did kept good health.

But the special event happened was my Chithu’s Marriage. It was a great gathering which happened on my Birthday Nov 8^th. Almost all the family members turned out for that day; really it was a blessed and a memorable day. Highlights => Kutties running around, new dresses & responsibilities. http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/11/chachus-marriage.html

My kutti bro Michael has grown up and has become very naughty, he has started to talk very much and has gained many friends and surroundings. Apart from that Uncle is doing well and Chithi’s Ph.D is progressing in a very good way.

One of mama has completed his dream project of building a planned home. I was part of the house warming ceremony it was really a happy moment in our family.

Professional:

Professional Life was a huge turn around in 2010. The year starting I was pursuing my MBA project, and in the month of April 2010 I completed my project and ran away to Nellai. Then in the month of June my Final Sem MBA Viva and then followed by results were out with good percentage, I was little upset because my Student Life was over but I was very happy that I got rid of the hell Jail College. I guess in the month of August myself and friends Vivek and Vijay went to college to collect the certificates and said big bye bye Vanakkam to the Jail.

Coming to the break through it was in my Career. It stated on June 24^th 2010. Yes, I got a call from my Business Mentor suddenly one fine night in the month of May stating “Joe, where are you? When are you coming to Chennai? Let me know when you come want to meet and tell one important thing in person.” After I was back from my tour I went there and he told me “Joe here is an opportunity for Business Head would you likes to take up?” I bet how many of you will get such an opportunity. I really Thank and Appreciate my Boss, VJ and Abi who paved the way for my career in some or other way. Business life so far has gone good and particularly in the month of December 2010, lots of things happened, many big projects have paved the way for my Company, just have to organize my activities and grab the opportunity lying ahead of me. “Rome Was Not Built in a Day” so I have to keep feeding my hard work and routine work with strategies to build the Rome. Year end I am wrapped up with loads of project, I am happy that 2011 will fetch me more $$ out of those projects. I am learning new things in Business and would like to be a learner always.

Social:

Well to be honest this dint turned out to be fruitful year compared to the last year, but may be one good thing I did, was donated fees for two students of Municipality School, Tambaram from the money which was remaining from the Farewell money of the college. Since I was one of the contributors of little money with pride I can tell I did something good in 2010, but it gave me only some satisfaction. Hope in 2011 I actively participate in something good.

Tours / Trips & Hang Outs:

The Farewell of Feb 24^th 2010 really turned out to be an unforgettable day in my life. Last Movie of my college life followed by Sachin’s 200 which gave the right toast to the Student Life.

Then the great Kodaikanal Trip with my PG friends, don’t want to bore you already I have posted about it, for those who dint read check out this link, http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/06/kodaikanal-trip.html.

Le Pondy trip was yet another memorable trip with my School folks. Check out the link, http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/11/le-pondy.html.

Then alas few hang outs and get together with School friends in Al Arab, and with UG Friends in Restaurants were there of course, and also some hang outs in Nellai again with School Friends, catch out for pictures in my album.

One of the most precious trip was my Jessy Chithi yes it was a wonderful day with Benjamins, http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/07/24-hours-with-benjaminss.html.

A rarest meet was with my Bro KK, met him after nearly 11 long years. It was a very special day for me.

Apart from this few movie hang outs were also there for Enthiran 1^st day 1^st show with gang and then Boss Movies were some of the major hang outs.

Last hang out this year was in Aneesh’s home in the month of December. He is blessed with a beautiful girl baby Akshara, we all folks assembled in his home and continued by that a Party. Wow it was a great night, semma sapaadu, koothu , roaming, driving etc.

Few plans with my School friends were dropped out because of my Work Schedule. I was little upset over that.

Friends / Surroundings & Social Networking:

Well as every year goes the count of Friends kept increasing at a steady rate. There was a huge disappointment from one of my friend. The turnaround decision he has taken shocked me and he also broke my Trust. I will never forgive him for my Life time for sure. Don’t want to tell anything more in public forum.

Apart from that another friend of mine whom I had a big difference of opinion got rejuvenated back into my life. I was damn happy for that.

Still awaiting for a breakthrough for my one of my close PG friends & few close friends who are looking for a change in their Career. They are always in my prayers for a good start at least in the year 2011.

Then last Facebook, brought a big change in my life. FB tuned up my life in such a way that I started sharing about my happenings rather others asking Wass Up Joe !!!!!!!!! Well FB is obviously meant for that. Usuage of ORKUT has reached to extinction.

Personal Life:

As the heading suggest, it will be personal, but there was a huge turn around in my life. Stepped into a wrong step but recovery was fast. Guys if your guessing something fishy then you are wrong. My close folks, Vivek, Pradeep, Dinesh^2, Dhilip knows about it. It was my friend Vivek who said “Mamz, the best is yet to come”.

But I am still continuing to be SINGLE!!!!!!! Trusting I will continue to be Single.

Hobbies and Interest:

Hmmm was not able to concentrate much on my Photoshop this year, but Blogging was active atleast once in a Month with some interesting and some Nonsense posts was sure on the Blog Page.

Coming to my Love, The love for Woods and Strings was very high. I have learnt fast this year to play my instrumental babe. Now I am able to change all the Chords to damn speed, yet to give the Grade exams in May 2011 and learn Notations.

Highlights / Key Events:

Surprise Birthday Party in native; really it brought tears into my eyes that night. http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/11/blessed-birthday.html.

Apart from that my Career break through was another break through. Visited Nellai twice this year and during the first visit stayed for nearly a month, really enjoyed a lot this time out there in nellai.

Yeah alas owned an android babe after 5 years. For more info check out this http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-name-is-scorpio-and-i-am-not-car.html

Key Focus in 2011:

Profession will and should take the lead role in the upcoming year; huge projects are ahead I have to organize it careful with Strategies to make it happen. It will happen with Mentorship of my Guru, Blessings from my family and relative, wishes & Cheers from friends like you and alas God’s Touch.

It’s too early to hunt for a girl, but my Ninju, Jessy Chithi’s and Hepsi Akka are urging because they want a get together, but it all depends on God’s plan.

Then to be honest have to reduce my Weight well that will be a difficult task to do that.

Coming to Friends I have to maintain the same momentum to the maximum possible with them, every other friend is getting busy day by day, so don’t know how far things will turn out in the coming future.

To summarize it was 2010 was yet another great and blessed year for me, but the best is yet to come!!

Hope Aal Izz Well in the upcoming year 2011!!!

I owe you all for your support, wishes, love, tags, comments etc. etc in the year 2010, expecting the same from you all in the upcoming year 2011.

Happy New Year folks!!!

How to start ?? Ok, how many of you remember your first big screen movie? I bet very few will remember but I remember very well.

Guess what would have been the movie? It was Jurassic Park folks! I was in 3^rd Grade, when Jurassic Park hit the big screens. Hmm if I am not wrong the theatre was Natraj Theater Delhi. I was never been to theater before that I was totally thrilled to go and watch a movie in the big screen. I never knew the movie too will be thrilling lol!

We guys were taken to theatre from School for the movie. All guys were made to sit in a single row. Well the movie started and we guys having fun, but the real thrill started in the middle of the movie. Hope you all remember the Car Scene when the Dino come near the break down car and peeps into the window. I was really pissed off; myself and my friend Hariyank went inside the Theatre Seats in fear. After few minutes only we came to our seats. Apart from that really enjoyed the Dino and direction of Spielberg. The whole movie was action cum thrill packed but for me it was real a nostalgic experience.

(This was the scene I was referring to you folks)

The movie ended and when I returned home, both Mom and Dad were very eager to hear my reviews about my first experience of the Big Screen. I shared my experience with full of enthusiasm. Dad still said the first dialogue of mine was “Daddy I saw a big T.V”

I don’t remember much what happened in the movie but just remember some glances of the movie and what happened on the day.

This may be a short post but just thought of sharing with you folks.

Cheers for your support and comments.
