Happy New Year….

January 2nd, 2010

Happy new year… to everyone!!!

So another year has passed… now that’s an understatement. Another year flew by, that would be the right way to put it. The time really flies. It just feels funny, to remember things you did and feeling like “oh gosh, it just feels like yesterday”… and I’m not talking about just one year, this whole decade felt like ran it’s course on steroids. I moved out of house, I started working independently, I went to safari in jungles of MP, I went to long desired vacation to Ladakh and I’ve been to Seychelles and it all just feels to yesterday. Looking back at my life in this decade, every moment feels so clear and vivid it’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 freaking years.

Everyone should really do this, just sit quietly in your window (or wherever you like) with large cup of steaming coffee (or your favorite beverage) and rewind. Remember the last holiday you spent with your family, remember the last holiday that you couldn’t spend with your family, remember the great and awesome things you did, remember the stupid and mean things that you did, remember that friend you had in your last office, remember than grumpy and khadoos colleague that made your work life less rosey. Your findings may vary, but I remember both sides of the coins I flipped in my past, and it brings great feelings in my mind. It’s hard to describe, but it’s sort of a cocktail of satisfaction, relief and good, crazy chuckles. God bless, for he has given me enough clarity to see through myself and enough courage and ability to carry my decisions and mistakes in my own hands… because I’ve yet to come across any serious regret about anything I’ve done in my life. Looking back also gives you great insight about people around you, and your connection with those people. Some have gotten closer while some have drifted apart, some may have even gotten lost in the dark depths of forgotten memories, while some may been just reduced to memories.

It feels nice that some things have changed and while many things are still so same. It helps one to keep their feet on ground, not to be drifted away in the strong flow of stream called time. Few things have changed though, probably not for good. I’ve gained weight (yay… finally!!), but in wrong places. I’ve gotten slow and lazy. I’ve finally managed to grow long hairs, but now I’ve hardly any time to manage them properly and bad hair day seems to be almost every day of the week. In short… I’m not looking old, but I AM growing old and these things remind of this fact, in not so subtle way. Plus my smoking has increased instead of lessening, and it’s not helping at all. I know it’s not good for me and I know should be really exercising more regularly, but I am knowing these things aren’t helping either.

Now we enter 2010… end of the decade, two years before the worlds end (supposedly, not that I believe it). Twenty-ten… a funny number, I can’t explain why it’s funny… it just feels funny to say, twenty-ten or two-zero-one-zero or two-thousand-ten. I just hope to go through this year better than last one, especially on personal side of things. I hope I finally get the wisdom to clean up my ways and start taking better care of myself. Hey god, if you’re running short on wisdom (judging by the state of the world these days), a smack on my head would be great too.

And to all my friends and everyone else… don’t just wait for god to smack my brains out, get real and start paying some attention towards yourself. Have a happy new year ahead and may god grant you the wisdom (remember god, I’m first in line) or the smack on your head, to remind you about yourselves.

Once again… Happy New Year… a Happy Fuckin’ New Year indeed!! :)
