And the year ends!

When you arrive at the end of a year, you tend to reflect on things and incidents that happened to you throughout the year. Then you start analzying the pluses and minuses. You feel - things should have been better, things should have been 'that' instead of 'this'. You regret doing certain things. 'What ifs' start popping in your head - What if I hadnt said that? , What if I hadnt been there? or Had been there? etc..etc...









Even though all this goes on in your mind - always remember - that you have grown as a person this year. You have had your share of ups and downs - you have climbed mountains of tedious tasks and descended valleys of work loads. You have achieved your set of goals. Those moments werent invain. They all added up to your skillsets, added up to you knowing what not to do again, added up to you being a better person.

What's more important is that you are 'breathing', you are 'living' and you are fit and fine. Be grateful to God!

Dont look upon yesterday's disappointments, but try to look forward to what future unfolds for you - unveiling the 'ulterior'.
All the failures of your past year, make them stepping stones, guide for the year to come.

Yes, make Resolutions! Fulfilling them or not is another thing.

When something comes to an end, theres ofcourse something thats gonna begin. Dont make the coming year, a year of talking or wishing or wanting - make it a year of 'doing'!

You had to bid goodbyes with heavy hearts to some loved ones, you also welcomed with a smile, the newborns. You made new friends this year. You reconnected with old ones too. Be happy for having all these wonderful people in your life. Treasure them!

Say Sorry to the ones you have hurt, say Thankyou to the ones who made you smile, who helped you, who taught you, who walked with you in your journey. And keep on moving, with all of them, towards the bright new year.

Recharge your batteries, reenergise, rejuvenate. Stay positive for the year to come.
Lets welcome the new year with happy hearts and fresh minds!

                                       May you have a Happy New Year!!!

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
