Acquisitions De ‘09

As the year winds up, looking back at ’09 & summing up, it seems to have been a fabulous year! Our own adventure tribe - “adivaas” kicked off in Jan with a successful expedition to Chembra peak. The year brought in a lot of great expeditions across India & Nepal. This year also reflects in making great acquaintances with a lot of lovely people, which has turned into valuable human relationship.

Financially a near disaster I would say; with companies turning down promotions & appraisals; share markets stagnating & investments draining out; to top it all, living cost in no way tending to reduce. Did these factors affect the consumer attitude? May be, but not mine I must say! The year ’09 finally turned out to be gallant, befitting a true consumer, from techie gizmos to charming wheels.
