I am lucky to have another year to my whims, another year to play, love and be peaceful. That pretty much defines my goals for next year.

1. Friends : One thing I miss lately is spending carefree time with friends. I got nostagiac for the times when I used to have plain old fun pretty much doing nothing with friends. Watching movies, gossiping, playing, drinking – I miss all that. So not surprisingly that’s real high in my list of things to do for next year.

2. Family: world literally becoming flat with skypes and youtubes and facebooks, I don’t have any excuse not to be more connected with my family.

3. Peace: I want to get rid of all clutter around and in me. Throwing away 75% of the stuff in my apt was quite a nice start. Similar to my apt, I want to make room for new experiences, new people and more creativity. I want to be more in touch with music & arts – 2 things I know I just love.

4. Travel: I want to visit at least one new country next year. I’d be really happy if I can go to next Burning Man.

5. Think Big: Last 2 years have really shaped me and my attitude. There is no better time than now to think big and go for my dreams.

Another year almost gone. I have spent another 3650 hours(day-time) doing something and it’s time to see if it was worth it.

Looking back things which occupied most of my time:

1. Supercool School
I believe first startup is like your first love – no matter how it ends you always have fond memories mostly about your naivete. This is how I feel about Supercool School – my first startup which gave me a crash course in entrepreneurship and taught me things I would have never learned otherwise. It most importantly introduced me to amazing people. Even though I had to leave it after working/living it for more than an year, I heart Supercool School and all Supercool people who were/are associated with it.

2. Women2.0
As part of In Conversation series of Women2.0, I met and got inspired by amazing women CEO/founders like Caterina Fake of Flickr and Hunch, Shellye Archambeau, CEO of MetricStream, Clara Shih, author of The Facebook Era, Jessica Livingston of Y Combinator (publishing soon), Xochi Birch of Beebo (publishing soon), Amra Tareen of allvoices.com, Megan Casey of Squidoo , Veronica Belmont of Tekzilla, and Qore

3. Epocrates
My new job. I am part of this amazing team of people led by a really dynamic person. Outside my current team, I am lucky to know other people in the company who constantly inspire me. What else can you ask for?

4. Kiva team
I started my Kiva team – Samvedna which means “compassion”. Every pay check I have been making micro loans to entrepreneurs via my team.
Great feeling.

5. Argentina & Patagonia backpacking trip
My best trip so far (wow!! I can’t believe I am saying it). I love love Patagonia (W hike) and Buenos Aires. Life is just beautiful in that part of the world.

6. India
Home sweet home. This time when I made my usual annual trip to my home country, first time I vaguely felt that I can have a cool life style in India as well.

7. Utah
The state itself, I believe, should be declared a national park. I did breath taking Angel’s Landing and The Narrows hike in Zion and witnessed the beautiful Hoodoos at
Bryce National park.

That’s all I did in an year – not bad at all!!
