Things are never perfect – we face many challenges (this is not the platform to discuss problems though) but there are many things to be thankful for. Here is my list of 2022 for which I am grateful.

• Liferay for giving me the opportunity to work directly with products. This is my 4th year working directly or indirectly with products either building them or working internally from an ecosystem around products. Also, my past two clients before Liferay who helped me to work on building internal products directly. Cannot name the customers, ecosystem and people involved but my genuine thanks to all in this journey.
• BITS Pilani for a fabulous Semester 1 with Distributed Computing, Embedded Systems, Database & Applications and Data Structures & Algorithm Design subjects with all the networking I could do with fellow students. Studying M.Tech. Computer Science / Electrical / Electronics was a wish since decades but somehow work, opportunity and many factors kept me busy and it clicked in 2022.
• NITIE & Prof. David as the instructor for a supply chain course.
• My friends, batchmates, students, colleges / universities, their staff, my family and network plus LinkedIn with whom I could work / interact with and learn so many things from.
• Internet which has fueled so many learnings, opportunities and interactions.
• All the people with whom I had even the smallest positive interaction like with Rajan Singh who writes many inspirational posts. There are too many to name but I wish a happy new year 2023 to all of you with whom I crossed path in 2022.
• Hopefully 2023 will be filled with many such learnings, collaborations, knowledge sharing, help and interactions through the ups and downs of life.
