Happy New Year!

2011 has been the most memorable year of my life. Over the last few years, an increasing sense of stagnation had been setting in. Moving to a new country has sorted that out. I’ve got a fresh perspective on life, met and worked with people from diverse backgrounds and traveled to more countries than I did in the last 10 years. I am ending the year a tad happier, a little wiser, a bit calmer and a lot more content. In short, 2011 restored that childlike sense of wonderment that is perhaps the first casualty of the daily grind of life.

Happy New Year!

May 2012 bring knowledge, wisdom and beautiful music to everyone’s life.

PS I picked up a new camera shortly after Christmas. It’s a Sony NEX 5N.
