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!!
