The day before THE DAY! :)
Not that it is ritualistic for me to introspect, but this year I will, coz it has been one helluva year in terms of the distance I have travelled…
geographically, emotionally, financially and intellectually..
1. Jan-feb-march 2009
The year started with placements.
Learnings:
- Don’t procrastinate when you are trying to figure out what you really want. Opportunities and time don’t wait forever.
- If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will…
- God ultimately does good when he doesn’t answer some prayers...
if u are being a jerk, he doesn’t accompany you :)
2. Jan-feb-march 2009
Fell in love with the marine drive...with the sea and the sunset.. Its beautiful hues and the ships on the horizon… the cool breeze blowing in my face… and the tiny stars in the sky…
This place will always hold a special place in my life… one of the 2 most peaceful places I have known (other being BC at night)
3. March-april-may 2009
Around this same time discovered a new freedom in life! Breathed free after ages! Felt oh-so-good. Rediscovered Pallavi.
Cleaned a few cupboards. moved on.
Also experienced ecstasy…!!! had crazy fun… :)
4. Jan 09 - Jan 10
Cleared my thought process… or rather developed one!
Learnt how to think - truly.
I understood how to face my own demons…
Saw the hypocrite in me... thanks to the 'paralysis of analysis' friend :)
5. June 09 - jan '10
This was the phase when I became tough.
Experienced loneliness. Learnt to enjoy my own company...
Truly understood myself… loved myself :)
I learnt not to take anything at face value. I learnt negotiation…
I learnt to turnaround disadvantages to your advantage… I learnt perfection.
I learnt the business of business.
I learnt to believe in myself. I learnt that I am good :)
The year to come promises to take me farther from here…
And I hope the journey is as enjoyable as this one was… in terms of beauty, learning, happiness and fun… :)
Amen...
Happy Birthday to me :)
