It’s been a great year for me and yet another one to add to my experience in the industry. I was given a chance to write for a great blog network, thank you Tim Stay for introducing me to Know More Media. Since I started blogging, despite of my hectic and erratic schedule, I’ve loved every minute of it and still loving it. It has given me a chance to fulfill one of my dreams – to be a writer and be heard. Thanks to all the readers who dropped by, shared their thoughts and still reading. I had the opportunity to travel to Australia, to learn the aviation industry. Met a lot of people and learned to live and breathe their culture. I traveled for business but came back home to gain a new best friend. The challenge of focusing on a project that was considered to be “gold” and taking care of a department while I was out of the country was rewarding. Pressure was intense and the expectations were very high. Working with a company that took customer satisfaction to a higher level was priceless.
