Yet again it is that time of the
year when another one has gone! It is the time to say bye to mediocrity and
look forward to another kick-ass year.
Like everyone else, New Year’s
Eve is special for me too and thus I happen to clearly remember everything
about “when the clock strikes 12” for at least the last ten years; be it
camping near the bonfire, house partying, clubbing, or sitting in the blanket,
munching moongfalis, playing cards or just watching TV with family.

I thought 2016 would be different
than the previous years and yes, it was….From having to miss out on my
childhood dream to watch WWE Live and a terrible heartbreak in the same weekend
drove pretty much my entire January. So I guess we didn’t really hit off on a good
note but now as the year has passed; I don’t have much to complain but only cherish
all the memories I made.
2016 will definitely be
remembered! So much has happened this year… Be it the start to my
entrepreneurial venture, gaining eligibility to be a French teacher or just having
the best birthday ever.
One of my dear friends often says “Umeed se Dugna”, and
I guess, 2016 has been so! This year I have followed my passion of writing
more, have eaten more; exercised more and mostly lived and loved life a little more.
I have learnt quite some lessons,
the most important being that I needed to stop being so hard on myself. Believe
me, it is only when I stopped looking for a companion to fulfil my wish-list
with, I happened to whole-heartedly pursue my wants, be it dancing my heart out
at dance classes, going to cookery workshops, attending literature festival,
participating in the theatre festival, running a marathon, or whatever I wanted
to…

| Dubaiiiiiiiii !! |
Oh! 2016…..How I wish I could
relive that trip to Dubai and have that vacation to Europe all over again; but
then I would remember 2016 only for the good reasons…Now that’s not possible,
is it? Hmmm… like all others I had my share of sorrow; be it failures,
heartbreaks, or even losing it emotionally once in a while. But let’s focus on the
goodies here; after all it is New Year’s Eve!!!! J
When I was a kid, I thought that
what I did on 1st January is going to happen for the rest of the
year. I used to get up early, make my bed, go to the temple and study for at
least three hours. As I have grown up, my belief has obviously changed. I now
see New Year as another chance and more opportunities. As at 11:30pm- 31st December 2016,
I feel a little low because of fever, but I am definitely excited to welcome 1st
January 2017 with a wide smile, open arms and high hopes for all I know is that
it will be a great beginning.
