New year thoughts

Yet another snow falling December departs... Would the freezing
droplets of snow on the face of a new January dawn tell me the story
of a nostalgic pain or would it rather enthrall me with a bright light
of hope?what could be in store for us in the new year? Would the
baskets of dreams that we had sewn in January be filled before this
year bid farewell? Every December would have a story to tell... Its
panting like a disheveled voyager, dried and burned in the summer, wet
& drenched in the rain, fighting the snow & fog ... Sad at times &
singing in joy some other time... Still traveling till the end of the
month, bearing all the bruises & carrying the blessings through all
the seasons...in a never ending , ever repeating cyclic pattern only
to get forgotten by everyone when the whole world embraces the new
year, never minding the moment brought forth by another tick of clock
hands to the new year is nothing worthier than the previous one,
hoping that the new year is going to fetch them peace & tranquility...
bliss & solitude!!!
But, we need a new year day to start something afresh, learning
lessons from the past, hoping that everything we do this time will be
fruitful, making sure mistakes are no more repeated, and believe that
all the foolishness in the past were a nightmare.

We need a new year to bury the carcasses of the evil thoughts and have
a refreshed mind.

We need a new year to be happy, to find a new meaning in life and
wish happy new year to our friends, parents, relatives & the whole
world...

Its time to bid farewell to 2010, with all its blows, blessings,
worries, hopes, desperations...

Thank you 2010 for all the experience, woes & chaos...

Thank you almighty, for the gift called life, its uncertainties,
surprises, and everything you gave us on this wonderful planet... and
welcome another year with a hope to experience less of the old and
more of the new...

Farewell 2010

Pratheeksakalude bhandaketumayi 2010 nde pudu varsha nalil thudangiya yatra thudarukayanu, december nde thanutha dina ratrangal kalamena maha pravahathil varshathinte matoru nazhika kallayi pinnileku odi olikunu.

It was quite an amazing year.
I was more than desperate, without being employed and trying to capitalise on some alien instrumentation theories, which i believed could take me all the way to some oil-gas industries and make me a millionaire out of thin air, though i was skeptical about my luck (and mind you, not about the fat lies and promises by Mr.Jose, the fraud, who was the director of his own 'excellent' institution!).
I had grabbed the very first opportunity to writhe out of the institute, leaving Briju bhai back in trisur. The prospect of a career in networking was helping me to alleviate the pain of squandering away my father's hard earned money.
I was destined to live a lonely life in a PG. All i could hear was hopeless news about networking. I become desperate again. I started thinking, and Thought of even leaving Bangalore the next day! Our deepak, the scientist called me that day. He scolded me for not sticking to anything. Asked me if i like this field or not and where do i think i want to be. Then advised me that, i just have got to focus on my career goals and luck would follow me. He talked a lot, on his career, aspirations and how luck followed him throughout. That was a relief and a realization. I thought i shouldn't be a rolling stone anymore. I decided to stay the course. And I stayed on.
I never tried to go beyond a professional acquaintanceship and befriend my colleagues. But they became my good friends, my room mates and well wishers.
My brothers started to migrate to Bangalore bringing back the fun and colour to my life.

Here i am, bidding farewell to an eventful year, paving the way for fortunes to traverse our way on days to come and
Hoping, as i always do, that this new year would bring more of the new and less of the old...
Wishing you all a...


Very happy new year.
