We love measuring things in numbers, it makes things more tangible. So here’s a list of numbers to quantify my life for the past one year since it’s been almost exactly a year that I’ve been working.

• 1,50,000 – My current bank balance.
• 4 – Songs I’ve made that are worth singing again. (+1 with the band)
• 14 – Blog posts. Way above my annual average of around 2.
• 6 – Trips out of the city. 2 were to Lonavala so they don’t really count.
• 1744 Hours (~73 Days) – Time spent in office.
• 564 Hours (23.5 Days) – Time spent traveling between Lokhandwala and Thane.
• 4 – Books read.
• 10 – Liters of hard alcohol consumed. (estimated)
• 10091 – The mileage on the car bought last June, to which I must have contributed about half.
• 365 – Times I’ve spoken about quitting my job. (estimated)
• 2 – Times I almost quit my job. (That’s twice that I actually walked into my boss’s boss’s office thinking I would)
• 0 – Pieces of fiction written.
• 0 – Computer games finished.
• 450 – Cups of coffee consumed.

From 2011 onwards, I want to pretend like we’re all really going to die in 2012.
