A Kolkata trip with Atul Bansal, Sudeep, Abhishek Sahoo, Ayush and Sarvesh to attend not one, not two but three weddings of Ribika Choudhary, Sumantro and Manish Pathak. Bengali weddings rock! Nostalgia with all the good bengali maach that I had.

Lonavala trip in February with Atul Bansal at the end of Pune stint.

Weekend to Goa in March to celebrate Sagar Goel's bachelor party. Palolem rocks!

Sowji's marriage and Sinhagad fort trek, April: Lonavala drive and Sinhagad trek from Mumbai with Deepak Gopal in April. Sowji got married and a hectic last week of April it was!

May marked the beginning of what was to be a long East India association. Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal for the rest of the year to come. IIT KGP revisited.

Hyderabad trip with Sakshi, Manish and Rishabh in June. Farewell party for the baniya and immense fun. Arthi's 6 week India trip which included a Mumbai trip with Atul Bansal

What started as a set of leisurely discussion in the 6th term, came out as a 100 page coffee table book. Road trip to Goa with Vinay Vaswani followed by yet another trip to Goa the very next week in September first week. Yes, the place is infectious. This also completes my yearly quota of 3 trips to Goa :)

Leisure in October: 1 week of chilling out at home in Hyderabad without any agenda. Luxury.
