Looking Back...

As the year comes to an end one thing is sure i have grown one year older of course my half acre baldness still symbolizes my aging phenomenon but as i ponder over the accomplishments , the yet to be reached targets, the best moments of the bygone year has been wonderful at a personal perspective. I think except the last couple of months where my laziness has taken an upper hand the rest of the year has been more of a struggle with race against the time doing multiple things with the same rigor, passion and aggression. There are are always certain moments which will still stay fresh in your memories down the lane, one such image is my Trip to LADAKH where i spent a considerable amount of time amidst the snow capped mountains . Definitely this one will be on top of the gratifying moments, the other one being the House i built for my parents, though will be mine sometime later at the moment the sheer joy in their eyes is something worthy to capture. Probably these are two most important images that come to my mind when i say 2007, however the t-20 world cup will never be forgotten as it remains in the history books of the Indian cricket something which i was always interested but could never make it as a career option. If you ask me if the year was a luxurious one, undoubtedly it should for i ended up spending a week every month on average in the ***** hotels across the country having those sumptuous dinners and the long Breakfast Buffets , though this year have missed a couple of international travels . In terms of the social initiatives a reasonable amount has been accomplished be it with the computer program i have take up the charge or SATTVA or helping small units of NGO's with their processes, programs and infra set up. I think this year has been more of an year of travel earning a good air miles with too many expense reports filing . Have been very choosy in terms of Reading books or watching movies, though most of the non travel time has been spent in the chores taken up or spending a good time with people around. Overall it has been a good year with little hiccups and good learnings and with wide arms i welcome the new year. I am sure this year will be bring in more positive changes in my life and i wish the coming year brings more peace in everybody's lives.

Quarter Life Crisis!!!

"Do you think you are still young and dynamic?Whatever things have to happen in that particular age it should happen. " says my father. I was bedazzled with this piece of his mind. It took me quite some time what he actually meant. Well i think everybody will ponder over when he/she thinks is ready to ring the bells. However i feel these are most crisis moments in ones life when you have to take that life changing decision. And the crisis only gets bigger when you are confused about choosing that person. I used to think if i am hooked up on to somebody who is as caring as my mother i should be pretty much happy. But when i came across my physics teacher in school ( i still feel she is most pretty woman i have met so far) i thought even beauty is one more dimension in life. When in college i had a friend who was intelligent and soft spoken adding few more qualities to the already incomplete list. But i can never forget this most enthusiastic, childish and mischievous girl adding more woes to those adjectives already in place after all you want some entertainment in life. A few years down the line i met this sweet adventurous bit lazy lady who never puts up a grumpy face and is always hospitable making you feel at home . Having added so many characteristics to that long list i felt finding the woman with all these dimensions is pretty complicated process. As we never know the person who is coming your way what is the new dimension she is gonna bring in your life. Thats why i say this is the age of Crisis - A Quarter Life Crisis and in this crisis age we are not pretty much sure if you found the right person. After all its a risky gamble and its the sheer optimism of belief in the institution that might eventually go your way. And this moment of life changing decision will have an everlasting influence. Hope there is QLC pill available to come out of this crisis or am i gonna pour in my thoughts until i come across the n-dimensional woman. After all as the days pass by weeks start running making you feel the year that passed just a while ago seems revisiting again making you ponder over the question my father poses "Do you think you are still young and Dynamic???"
