Timeline 1977-1998

I was thinking what have I done over the past year. I am unemployed or rather self-employed and unable to find a job for myself. Then I decided to put it as a form of timeline. It is inspired by Egypt timeline which I saw in a few websites. Since I had decided to put last year as a form of timeline then I decided why not put few more years and then I said why not put my entire life. And hence, I am going to put it below.Some dates may not get recollected and some may get missed out. And exact dates may not be mentioned in many cases.
