Life is strange! Every turn has an unexpected guest waiting, and every guest brings 'new'... A new person, a new challenge, a new hope or simply a new smile!!
The eventful new year 2012 has ushered in; nevertheless, the countdown for the new life has started. With less than a month in kitty, manifold and mammoth tasks of planning, managing and implementing leave me simply lost at the end of the day! If I have stepped further or fallen back, always remains a question worth a ponder.
With the entire month of December having passed traveling (3 train journeys and almost 7000 kms), I am left with little time to spend with myself, with friends and of course this patterned schedule of life. At times I wonder, I am gonna miss the flat, miss my friends and miss everything that I tend to sideline and ignore.
Last night was the new year eve. Few old friends and conversations from the past relived everything. It seemed that it would have been much simpler if only laughter could take this world forward. Alas, it needs much more.
There are umpteen thoughts. Almost a year back, I lost my grandparents. Luckily, they hadn't lost each other; for my grandfather passed away just 25 days after my grandmother did. They left a lot behind, and most importantly, they left tiny stories of appreciation for their love, care and attitude. Why I mention this is because, it is now that their 1-yr death rituals have been/will be performed. With fervent respect, I bow before them for their blessings to celebrate the beginning of this 'new'.
