Life or something like it …

Oh Dear Good Lord, December 31, 2010

I know you are up there and watching us all down all here. Some of my friends believe you do not exist, some debate your existence but look upto you in sad times, I somehow believe, that you are there, somewhere ( Mom says, you are always there, and I kind of believe her – for lack of a good reason to not do so). But thats not the point here. The closest image I get when I get think of you is an old man with a big beard..similar to Dumbledore actually… ( I wonder why I never think, God can be a female,)

Some of us would be sleeping now, under the hangover of the New Year Eve Party, some still partying till they drop dead, and some like me are sitting in a cozy blanket on this foggy (actually, not so foggy) December ending -January beginning night in my room, writing to you.

The 2010 that I left behind,  has been a mix of spice, adventure, highs and lows. Many a times I stopped believing that you are there, and sometimes I just wanted you to be by my side..And I think you did not disappoint me then. So thanks for that. I made new friends, lost a few in the race. Reinforced the broken bonds with a few who meant more than just name cards in my phonebook and added more for the heck of it.. all in all,my mind has more people, more moments to remember and yes , ofcourse, I grew older..

I may have done some blunders, hurt some people, made a few of them furious and some hate me. For all those I hurt and troubled, here is a public acceptance of my mistakes and apology to you all. I will be a better person this year. Promise you that. And I wont repeat the mistakes I made in 2010. Man, thats so uncool..

Thank you() for giving me time to spend with my family, and the chance to make my mom and dad smile more. Thank you for not letting me loose myself in the ever changing crazy world and letting me have “some” sanity in me. Thank you for the strength. Thank you for the courage. Thank you for the smiles and laughter. Thank you for the tears as well ( I guess I would have deserved them at some point)

I am not making any resolutions for this year. I am thinking of what has gone by and I want the future to be brighter, happier and better. I have hope that it will be and the courage to make it, in case you decide to ditch me…But in any case, I know we are going to kick ass..

Thank you for Harry Potter, Zuckerberg , Jobs and our very own Shiela. Wiki Leaks and CWG kept the entertainment going for us in 2010 and I want more interesting things to look forward to.. Thank you so so much for Sachin Tendulkar. We need more like him to make your presence felt..

I am taking the liberty of passing your blessings to family, friends(distant and near), relatives ( close and not so close) for a healthy, peaceful and happy new year..

I don’t know if we are all dying in 2012 or you have planned something else more dangerous or adventurous for us. Whatever it is, I am going to look forward to every new day with you by my side.

See you

For the rest of you somewhere, everywhere, a Merry 2011 full of hopes and dreams.

Cheeers!!
