Another Year!


As I silently tiptoe into another year of my life, it’s difficult to digest the amount of changes in and around me. New people, new place and a whole lot of memories to cling on to. This last year would definitely stand out as the most memorable year for me. A long swing right up to the pinnacle of happiness and a sharp fall flat-faced right on the slimy mud below. It is easy to talk about getting up back on your feet, wiping your face off the mud and tears and walk off like it’s the best thing that has happened to you. It’s also easier to talk about how time heals…aaah. I have done all this advising to the poor deprived souls myself and it is now that I realize how lame such advises can be unless you have been in their shoes to taste that dirt. I have had my struggle and perhaps still kicking around to get my head straightened out, but I will survive! Like someone I knew once said (more of an advise again), you don’t always get what you want in life and nothing is ever prefect. What is prefect right now, are a few friends and family who never miss out on a chance to kick me hard every time my smile sags and a job that keeps me on the edge of my seat.  I missed out on a lot of writing and reading for a while. Lost out on a few irreplaceable people. A few sorry(s) and thank you(s) went unsaid and a few songs unsung.

Came across an interesting fact about men and women in a book I recently read. This is how it goes:

"The most powerful force in a man's life is his intense desire to impress the person he loves the most. And the most powerful force in a woman's life is the need to be appreciated, loved and cherished for what she is."
