Well as I look back ~~ I hardly hv any concrete achievements to write on... But but there are so many daily-life moments that made this year so very meaningful n a happy-to-look-back one... Unlike last year where there were quite a few of concrete ones(New House, New Job......) but a feeling of restlessness n unrest had crept in which fizzled it all off!
N the first half or rather more than that was so marked by the same feeling... A BIG unrest! Well nothing specific that I can put ma finger on ~~ But a general discontent, on-n-off kich-kich with ma hubbs (ha! tht fella has patience in abundance)...... But as they say every dark cloud has a silver lining!
N it was this silver lining that was the landmark of the year :)...... I donno the word to describe her... a friend, a sister, a guide, a mentor... well each of it is true but each word falls short... she is all of it n much more for me! N I so very owe all my simple happy pleasures of life that I appreciate today
jus to her... from ma home to reinventing the relationship with ma sis n hubbs...... Thank U! U r really spl to me ......** Anti jinx**
This year saw me making an attempt to make ma house into a home .... n a home that today am truly happy to go back to n am happy to host you (c'mon take this as an invitation n drop in)! Ha thts saying something... Cause till a few months back I would cringe as soon as I hear the word 'Guests'... Thots of endless mopping, cleaning, cooking would give me nightmares! But today??? Ha am waiting to welcome each of u home :). I hv surprised myself! ** Anti jinx**
Hubbs dearest - The relationship saw the biggest low(Mr. Hubbs - did u atleast know this?) followed by the biggest high! Well blame it on the same unrest ~~ But today well I sigh in peace n happiness :).... Muah! I love u!! ** Anti jinx**
N the biggest surprise of the year ... N possibly the happiest of all tooo was this! Ha!! Miracles of Life is what I call them :). N yeah am taking of the same guardian angel I refereed above n who is made on-off appearance in ma space... Ha this year is been so entwined with her..... Well Lucky me :) ** Anti jinx**
N well can I complete the space without handing out the due thank-You notes to all ma blog Friends...... To the sweetest of all
Swaram ~~ U are a true inspiration sweetheart ~~ The way u take pleasure in simple moments of life is truly worth learning! N
Color Decor....... Wow! Is the word to desc u n the blog... Showed me how an simple effort to decorate a home can bring in loads of cheer n joy... N if somebody as utilitarian as me can be inspired... Well tht in itself speaks volumes :) N ofcourse to all of u who read ma blog (Plzzz comment on it tooo :-D)
Frnds at work (U make those days bearable!) n ma sweetest neighbor...
Sabi(yea yea u can keep getting me more gifts n casseroles... :D). Ha n well if I don make a customary reference to ma sis she is gonna scream mad at me :-P. So here is to you sweetie pie.... Here is to a year which saw u passing off ur masters degree from THE college with flying colors... U made me proud(abt time I say :-D)... Now go get married fast !!!
BTW shouldnt a thank u note be sent to FB tooo which manages to get all the family n frnds closer n plays a major role in spicing up daily life :-D
The only meek concrete achievement that dares to raise its head is - We booked our new car(So wht if its not delivered? SO wht if its booked with borrowed money :-P. I know am hopeless) BTW does a new role in job count (Wink)
So tht was the year in summation ~~ 'Settled' I guess is the word to describe it N yea I jus hv one person to thank for all this!
The story wasnt just about a man on his dead bed... it was about a man in his forties, a acclaimed academician but more importantly a much loved husband- son, a father of 3 (all under 5) for whom cancer is come calling and is on verge of his death! This book is a chronicle of the 'last lecture' he delivers to his students but most importantly a memoir for his children when they grow up. Sounds heart wrenching... doesnt it?
