Let me take you through 2010 as it were for me.
For each month of the year, I am going to select and link a post that set the tone for that month. May be throw in some extra words... I shall treat this as a tag, and everyone who does take this up, has to tag this post in return and drop in a comment saying they have documented their "Year in posts"...
January 2010
And another day begins
Bitter though the night was, that was the beginning of a new dawn. At that point in time, I didn't know. As I look back, I am thankful.
February
By saying Hello, I promised myself a few things. Tough as it was, I made sure it worked.
March
Discovering Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Trust good books and old friends to say some magic words.
April
My Sorrow is Not for Sale
This was the only post in the month of April. I survived...
May
No posts this month. As I look back, it was one of the busiest times in my life.
June
Seesaw
In June, it seems, I came back to blogging in a sense. There were two food posts and I introduced my new pet Yahoo to you. But 'Seesaw' is what the month, on the whole, was like. Love this haiku...
July
Divaso judaai na
I heard this ageless gazal by Gani Dahiwala with a new consciousness. Rather than making me sad, Md. Rafi's voice gave me strength. I identified with clarity my 'swajan' and I was already with them! Also in July, I bonded with my brother and we talked talked talked like crazy. A month of memories.
August
Another no-post month. I was on a mission, never have I focussed on something so earnestly, with such a dogged will. No time for blog, no time for friends... Err, no, I met a dear old friend for the first time in August. :)
September
Another year older, many years wiser.
Some of you had said kind things to buck me up. Your wishes and your prayers worked. In September, I met my old self again.
Can widowed women wear gajra? I spoke my mind and you liked it.
October
This month was exactly sliced up into halves for me. The second half was fun mainly because the first half was super fun..
Happy Dussera
November
Let's sing a new song
November embraced me with hope. Everything seemed to be falling in place, everyone seemed to be my side, my friends, my teachers, my family.. Gauri was happy and decided she would be so in the time to come.
December
I guess this post itself sets the tone for the last month. I have looked back and am looking ahead. I shall be.

Ah! Good one - a nice tag after a long time! Will take it up for sure!
Thanks Atul.. I would be very happy to see you do this tag. And of course, read those 12 chosen posts..
Swaram, memes are so powerful! Was good reading yours..
Delivered! :D
This is a very entertaining year-end post! I hope 2010 was a blast for you. Well, for me, it wasn't that fun, but I learned a lot. I also have a year-ender, by the way. I wrote about The Sims 2 house designs, some of my personal drama, and my own top 5 lessons I learned in 2010. Care to read 'em? Just follow the links. Thanks! =)
