Disclaimer: This post is an attempt to remind myself of the highs and lows of the year 2007. This presents me a means of reflecting for myself the year that has gone by.
January
Personal
I was working on getting a survey website up and running. We had our TRB conference. I went early to DC, met friends there and attended the conference. Completed my unexpected presentation reasonably well, freaked out with friends in DC and left to Boston. Visited MIT campus in the freezing weather. Caught up with some of my nice friends from IITM and UT. It is always nice to spend time with old buddies. The weather was amazing for a person living in Texas. Incidentally there was snow in Austin too!!
Sports
January started off with India's famous win in South Africa. We lost the series, however the year's most poignant comeback was on cards. Sourav Chandidas Ganguly, whose cricket obituary has been written almost all cricket writers came back and started his dream run! Also at the same time, sehwag started loosing it on th international scene!
Federer won Australian with relative ease. I was all worried abd looking forward to French
