From the childhood fantasies to teenager's wishes, from college dreams to corporate aspirations... my mind has been full of to-be and to-do items. Of course, not all the wishes came true, most of them died because of lack of feasibility. But looking back I see of all wishes possible I could achieve only few. Doing the right assessment of what life has offered me and what I have achieved, I have missed a lot of things being indecisive. I have taken abrupt decisions where I needed to stay firm. Fortunately, some of them have been very fruitful, some were sour.
Career has been one of the most important thing in my life. I have made a lot of sacrifice to be here. Today, I stand at starting point of multiple journeys of which I have to choose one. I feel its high time I decide where to go in life. Choosing between the options troubles me the most. Back in highschool, I never knew this exercise will go all through life. But now that I have realized I also know the earlier I choose better it is. I have to choose which field I got to make my career in.

One more New Year....
Bringing several ups and downs, 2009 has finally passed through. We all need reasons to celebrate, as I remember since last 10 years I and people around me party at 31st Dec night, get up late on 1st Jan and start living normal life. The only change new year brings is for first two weeks we make mistakes in writing year part of date. Like some of us will write coming 10th Jan as 10-01-09 instead of 10-01-10. Hehe...
But, what I like about welcoming new year is it gives us time to pause and think through our actions-inactions of passing year. Though I believe we hardly learn anything from this analysis; (what helps us really is how we felt immidiately after certain experience) New year gives us opportunity to reduce the weightage of bitter experiences and hopes for positive ones.
One interesting and tempting myth about new year is you will keep doing the same thing you do it on first day of year. No, I tried several times even doing blast at first day results in spending rest 364 taking exams, attending lectures, office etc. Can't help it. BTW this myth also holds true for BDay. I wonder how many of us do the same things on both the days??
Resolutions: All of us take at least 2-3 resolutions each year. I am sure roughly 2% of people would be able to keep their resolutions. Ask smokers, they know best.
Horoscopes: People like me who are expecting some change in their life, go through all websites, newspapers where we can read positives in the coming year. Though, we know all signs will contain same story different words.
Holidays: As soon as year starts ending, we start scanning through next year's calender in thirst of holidays. What disappoints us is conflicts and festival on weekends. As a child (secretely admitting still) I check what day Bdays are falling.
Parties: Every closing or new year, we put loads of efforts planning and executing worth memorising parties. As I said in the begining we need reasons to celebrate.
I quoted some of the points coming to my mind at this point in time. Surely, new year brings us happiness and joy. With this, I wish you all A HAPPY N BLASTING N PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR :) ... hope this year will remain blasting till 2011 joins us.
