I can also call it as an year full of obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best of 2018<\/strong><br \/><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Even though I achieved a lot more and you have also been witnessing my progress over the year, I want to call out on my favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>1.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/gp\/product\/B07CR2V3QW\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=lensq-21&amp;creative=24630&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07CR2V3QW&amp;linkId=b632504fe21890f12c4bbbec538a3f4d\"><strong>Published a book<\/strong><\/a><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>This had been a dream of mine since forever. I made this dream come true by writing a book in 15 days and publishing it on my birthday. It was not only the best birthday gift I ever gave myself but it also gave me a new confidence in life.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>2.Learned Tamil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Back in TamilNadu, I often felt that I didn\u2019t know enough Tamil. Once I moved to Karnataka, I realised that I automatically speak in Tamil and not my mother tongue when conversing with locals. It was definitely a proud moment to start thinking in a new language.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>3.Meditation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>I experienced the true charm of meditation in the second half of this year. I had been happier and attracting my luck by staying positive through meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_marina_photography\/?hl=en\">Photography<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>I never knew that I could be good at photography. This new hobby helped me discover my creativity and taught me that you will never know what you are good at unless you try it.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The worst of 2018<\/strong><br \/><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>1.Book reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Even though I read a lot of books, I could not make notes and write reviews for them. Whatever I learnt is sort of lost in air right now. Also, I didn\u2019t track properly all the books I was reading. This makes it difficult today to actually measure how many books I read in the past one year.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>2.Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>My exercise routine went to dogs. I put on close to 7 kgs this year which is even more depressing. If not for anything else in the next year, I want to lose weight and become fit again.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>What are the highlights of your 2018?
