Because we don't have a South East Asian union.

So, all in all I think 2016 was a fantastic year for me. Here are few highlights I can think of:
- Started new job: still happy with my workplace and kind of work I am doing.
- Moved in to a new rented apartment: Brilliant place!
- Bought a new scooter: Mrs. Wife's ride. (Now she drives me around the city unless we take Uber whenever we go out, so win win)
- Bought a new motorcycle: Motorcycle++ for me.
- Did a 3500 KM road trip by car with wife and friends: lots of fun.
- I had a set a fitness goal to have a flat tummy by June 2017. I have already come down to 77 Kg from 90 Kg. I do not think I will be able to make it by June but still, not quitting at all.
- Acquired tennis elbow during the year but healing process is going on well and it should be fine in next few weeks.
- Bought a new laptop, brought back another old one to life (except WiFi connectivity). Old one seems to be working fine otherwise. It had Vista on it but now it runs Ubuntu.
Number 5 makes me the happiest.
How was your year?

3.5km road trip with wife and kids
... fun? Not so much.
Keep it up on #6, the older one gets the harder it gets to maintain, let alone achieve a figure.
Seems to be some sort of inverse square rule - but you will really like it when you get there.

We don't have kids yet but one the friend's young one was 2 year old. She was the most energetic one throughout.
Loosing fat is getting harder and harder. I am running about 8 KM a day and then doing exercise for about and hour a day. I think I will need to increase that to 10 KM a day to try and achieve my goal by June. The idea is to cut down as much fat as I can by March and then switch to a high protein diet. Being a vegetarian, diet will be a challenge.

I was driving home today after visiting my dad.
Lots of traffic. Also a road full of speed traps. So I kept an eye on the speedometer.
Got one of those guys behind me. You know the kind, premium car, nonfunctional indicator, no more than ten feet behind me.
There's to much traffic in the opposite direction, so he can't overtake. So he start blinking with his headlights.
A while later there's a gap and he can finally overtake. Two hundred meters down the road is yet another speed camera.
Is it bad of me to feel smug on Christmas?

Nothing feels better than schadenfreude! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'm trying hard to not compulsively check the site, and vaguely succeeding (but obviously failing).
I hope everyone has a safe holiday. See your friends, get in touch with those you've been putting off getting in touch with, and drive safe. No eggnog fatalities, please!
Merry Christmas!
cheers

How's Christmas in Bombay? Must be your first Christmas there in maybe 3 decades?

That sounds about right.
We celebrated with my dad and his nurses cutting a Xmas cake in the morning. I had lunch at my cousin's, and was once again reminded of how late people eat in Bombay. Meals tend to be preceded by several hours of drinking. Ended the day by discussing the pros and cons of Xamarin with my neighbor.
