So, its 1st Jan 2012, marking the commencement of yet another year! Well, the only thing bugging me is that what is so significant about today? I feel like it is yet another day, I mean is it normal to think that way? :O
I know I know, many people out there would love to contradict me and show me the significance of today, you know time to introspect the past year, making resolutions for the new year and blah blah blah.
No offence meant to anyone, but why is it that all of us need a special day to do all of the above mentioned things. You can introspect yourself even at the end of the day! As far as resolution is concerned, C'mon! give me a break! As we all know there is no such thing as a perfect time to change yourself, it is an ever going process. But now thinking about it, I think its time I add myself to list of people who do these kinds of introspecting after reaching the peak of frustration and overwhelmed by emotions and I personally being the kind of person who is not very expressive, its time I penned it or rather typed it down.
Well, the past year has been more important to me than many others,
Starting with my sister's marriage, I'm still mesmerized by that day and its beauty and the emotions :)
Then with the horrible horrible second semester results. Alright yes! It is a big deal for me and nothing anyone says or tries to explain is going to change it. Then came the time to make new friends. Yeah I finally have a college group(if you ever call that one).It is a mixture of all types of species who I don't know how and why fall in the category of homo-sapiens(me included). Then there was the Navratri, those 9 nights which changed a hell lot of things,people and feelings, I think.
Then there was the grueling 5th sem internals and externals back to back which made "me"(yes double quotes for me) study like an ass! But that PL also marked the commencement of 4 most important relationships and bonding in my life. Something I would like to keep throughout my life. But I know, nothing in this world is permanent. We can observe this on all levels. On a universal level, stars form and collapse. On a global level climates change and continents shift. On a personal level, we observe the decay of our body, changes to our mind, relationships coming and going, our possessions wearing out . We live in a world of constant flux(spoken like a true engineer eh? :P). Unfortunately many of us refuse to recognize this, and suffering is the result.Phew, that was some far fetched philosophy!!
Anyway, as I previously mentioned this is "my" blog and I'm absolutely free to write whatever I wish!
After exams, there comes the Mumbai trip-and damn that was some kind of a roller coaster ride. And if I start writing about that I guess it would need yet another blog post( but hey! this just gave me an idea for another blog post *twinkle* :)) )
I ended my new year by being hospitalized( yeah yeah not proud about it).
So you see, these above paragraphs sound something more of a cliche! something probably taken out of my personal diary! but then who the hell cares to read this crap anyway right? :P
I've recently been giving serious thought to becoming a writer! well, at least giving it a try! The universe keeps on giving me signs that it is my calling! But well, lets see where life takes me!
Anyway, I guess my whining ends here. I still haven't given a thought as to what my new years resolution will be! Sometimes, you don't need your entire life mapped out in front of you. Knowing what you will do the next moment is satisfactory enough.
Cheers everyone! To yet another year and a chance for us to get it right(PS- the last line is my fb status update, but due to lack of creativity, this will have to do) :P
