Year 2015 been amazing in following ways :<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Joined minio.io<\/a> as developer evangelist [blog will follow soon :)]<\/li>\n
  2. Met long time friends Razique <\/a>&\u00a0Heiko<\/a>\u00a0 in person after interacting with them for over 4 years on IRC regarding \u00a0OpensStack project.<\/li>\n
  3. Two of my junior buddies Prashant<\/a> & Jithesh<\/a> are doing awesome, they got new job\/task and are just loving it.<\/li>\n
  4. Got in touch with awesome folks from startup community via aroundstartups <\/a>\u00a0interview\u00a0podcast.<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0Finally get to meet few of my life mentors & talk to them in person.<\/li>\n
  6. Lost few kilos & yes not drinking too much of beer these days.<\/li>\n
  7. Traveled across 6-7 different indian states including Kerala for first time & international trip to Canada.<\/li>\n
  8. Started blogging regularly & launched my podcast aroundstartups<\/a> on india’s startup \u00a0ecosystem. \u00a0Thanks to my friends Prashant<\/a> & Abhishek<\/a> for helping me on this project.<\/li>\n
  9. \u00a0Made some good friends & lost few.<\/li>\n
  10. Started \u00a0entrepreneurship journey, failed miserably & learnt a lot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What I learnt from 2015 :<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Time heals everything & you have to keep moving with life.<\/li>\n
    2. Its good to have few close friends always around who are there to listen to you & help you when you screwup.<\/li>\n
    3. Parents are getting older & they need more attention from me.<\/li>\n
    4. Keep finding mentors, learn from them.<\/li>\n
    5. Each one of us are awesome, great in our own way & we have so much to learn from each other.<\/li>\n
    6. Empathy is biggest asset a human can have.<\/li>\n
    7. Don’t do things or commit to projects you are not motivated about. This will save time and effort to you and others who are working 100% on the project.<\/li>\n
    8. Listen more & then act.<\/li>\n
    9. Its good to get disconnected from the world once in few days & spend time reading or wandering in nature.<\/li>\n
    10. Stay away from toxic\/negative people, they will only add negatively around.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Plan for 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Stay \u00a0happy, motivated & continue on healthy life.<\/li>\n
      2. Work on upgrading my bash scripting skills.<\/li>\n
      3. Keep meeting people, making friends, learning from mentors & helping whoever i can with whatever way i could.<\/li>\n
      4. Read more books.<\/li>\n
      5. Organize myself in much better way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I hope 2016 brings more happiness to everyone\u2019s life!! \u00a0Stay blessed & have a good one.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
