Today, when I am thinking as to what to wear for the new year bash , I zero down upon the same skirt that I wore last year. And the year reflects by.
I remembered the exact post “Miracle” I wrote and the forecast that Me and My GOD would have a brilliant year. Well, I can definitely take up astrology , considering this case.
I read all my posts. Honestly, right at this moment writing them seem to be a great idea since it is acting as a catalyst in reflecting the bygone year. Today I could go on with the post. But I am being gutsy and honest here and reflecting my year, which I claimed would be a cloud-9 year.
1. I read all my posts, and I realized lately I have come up with “CRAP”. My earlier posts seem to be coming straight from the heart, and quite a few recent ones seem like show-off. (I guess the self-obsession, got to my head). “One day, your life will flash in front of your eyes... Make it worth watching.” This was my first quote on blogosphere. This year is definitely worth watching. Partly coz of the things I made an effort to do and partly because My GOD was determined to make it worth it. I made new and definitely long lasting friends. My workplace seems like heaven. I have had super fun this year. Did a lot of dancing. Read quite a few books (which includes 3 MnB’s.. Snort) Although I slipped a bit, but stuck to blogging(its fun to write). Went out for trips. My emotions stuck to the upper level for most part of the year.
2. “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." - I used this in “Miracle”. My faith paid off its dividends heavily even in the time of recession. (Its better to rely on faith than on money... lol) I believed in getting what I wanted. I got all that I deserved. I believed I would find someone who will love me profusely. I met NISHIT. I believed my job is going to be the best so far. I got great work, amazing collegues, superb manager and awesome friends at work. I believed I am going to put on weight at wrong places. The tyre is bloating by the day. (never think negative… lol). I believed I would have great hair days. For most part of the year, it was so. I guess, that’s end of bragging. (TOUCHWOOD). In case of SHAHID KAPUR no help with faith, haven’t met him yet. (But I fell in love with even better – NISHIT.. so I guess that balances itself) 3. “With dreams begin responsibilities” – This one is the toughest. It takes more than just dedication or motivation, it needs discipline. I am barely 25% ahead than what I was. I dreamt of flattening the tyre. I woke up and ran a few days, rested another more days. Doesn’t work, the tyre is bloating. I dreamt of completing my certifications. Made it through one. Still 2 to go, friends are still trying to motivate me (Thanks Sharad and Roshni). I dreamt of eating timely. Bingo, I kinda achieved this. Tuned my body to get hungry at right times. I dreamt of learning and giving my best to work. Bulls-eye.
4. “Lost Touch” – Made quite an effort this year to stay in touch. Simple “hi’s”, forwards, wishing on birthdays’ (though I missed quite a few). But definitely took steps in this direction. No point, most of them don’t bother to keep in touch. But alas, the GREAT ME, still tries. (Self-obsessed) . But my closer friends complain that I am not in touch enough. (True maybe)
5. “My Crushathon” – found 4 TCG’s (THE CUTE GUY). Beat that, 4 in one year. Hurray!!! 3 in office, (yeah my workplace rocks) and 1 cutest – NISHIT. But haven’t done anything foolish for any of the 3. I guess MATURE RAJI. (rather fattu RAJI and not-nemore-single RAJI).
6. “My DEVIL” – She has been in coma for most part of the year. Although, I am yet searching for the vaccination. She did strike hard a couple of times. Disheveled me, but got back on track. Thanks to MY GOD.
8. “Day Dreams” – The time I spend on day dreaming has reduced exponentially. I guess 2 things played the part, 1. MATURE RAJI and 2. Quite a few of my dreams got fulfilled and I got busy trying to fulfill the others.
9. "Mathslexia" - It still gets to my nerves. See I jumped striaght from 6 to 8, missed point number 7. Damn this MATHS. lol.
I am carrying forward the dream of a flat tyre. And the deadline to reach the half of it is feb 20.
I am carrying forward the dream of completing my certification. And the deadline is feb 20.
New year and I have new dreams.
Few in rhythm with the fact that I am stepping into wedlock.
Few related to finances this year. Hopefully I will fair better than the people running the banks in America.
That’s the gist of it.
Cheers to 2008!!! Welcome 2009!!! (lights, camera , action!!!)
