A topsy-turvey year 2014!

A very warm Hello to all the wonderful people out there!

Today marks my stint with yet another vocation – “recording my thoughts”, something that has been on my mind since long, nonetheless pending, for reasons as lame as they can get (ok so confessions start right at the beginning!)

Isn't it a universally admitted truth that the human species is always yearning for 

“A-Better-Next-Year” while bidding adieu to the current year?? Well, a question mark in the end does not always need an answer in return; this one for instance, has an implied answer :-)

THE YEAR 2014 started with a bang, indeed BETTER THAN THE BEST. And no, I am not trying to infringe Sansui’s copyright tagline here; this just perfectly elucidates my state of mind!

2014 gave me opportunities to achieve more milestones, rewarded me with enough reasons to beam and exult. A challenging career path and contentment & direction towards it, found more solace with my loved ones, earned long overdue peace, disposed off most of the unwanted baggage, cultivated the courage to let the walls down - tasks that seemed herculean to me once, were now a part of my day-to-day life…my first Big purchase, my Car…and above all kissed goodbye to my vulnerabilities and embraced a refined-more-evolved-ME.

And suddenly, a paradigm shift in the avenue.

All the ease, movements, zing was slowly turning to gray. Dip in physical well being took over mental comfort. Rigorous preparation for higher studies took an unanticipated u-turn when I could not appear for examinations. Weeks of tough grind turned futile when a much-awaited project got aborted. Uff…did I start feeling that days are just passing in a languid manner? Reasons for making merry were many more though, the not-so-welcoming events were also sufficient to give me thunderbolts!

Right now, I can’t rationalize my life’s developments…I am just standing firm on the ground, to achieve all that is left to be done, in the coming year

Before I sign out, words of Bob Silberg give a perfect ending to the new beginning

“There’s another year, fresh and clear, straight ahead Like a field of snow All across the land there’s a brand-new beginning now Just think of the things that could happen Magic can be spun And we’ll watch the stars go whizzing by as we go ’round the sun.”

Yes, 2014 was one such year.

2015 will be another great year.
