The City That Never Sleeps




posted : December 31, 2008

Having almost exactly a day to go for the 2009 to welcome me with open arms, its what everyone tries to do at this point in time. Cliché as may seem Reflections. I did one of some sort last year, if you can call it reflections to begin with, in the first place. But nevertheless, reading it time and again somehow made 2008 easier to get by. To think of the downs 2007 brought, made it easier or at least more bearable I would say. So yes, I’m glad I didn’t plan to but did one last year. I love surprises and impromptu “genius-ness” that springs to me once in a while. HAHA. I’m deprived of humour.

Oh well. So as for 2008 if I were to describe in say a word it would be WOW! In 3 words, it flew by. It really did before I could take a back and savour the moment I was thrown into, I would have been already onto the next or even further. Was a fun rollercoaster ride, nevertheless. Many friendships that were forged or rather were seemingly forged over a period of time. Many experiences. Disappointments. Silences. A decision made. Achievements. Smiles. Laughs. But I’m happy the ones who were meant to stay did and lasted. Those, I hold dear and close to me.

As for academics, 1.5 years is over. Just 2.5 years left. A let down considering my aims before I stepped into varsity education were much higher. But I also underestimated the smart pants around me as well. But oh well, I am where I am and I can’t change that. So for now, I’d just do my best, not feel inferior as I toss my mortar board high in the air and land up in a decent job. I still am a graduate. 5 more sems to go. Let things work out how its meant to be. I’m still unclear on where my interest lies. To start I’ve striked social work out. It’s never my cup of tea. My patience. Zilch.

But however unclear my future may be. One thing for sure. I talk a lot. I humour myself a lot. I think a lot. A lot. That wouldn’t change even in 2009 for sure.

Till then, goodbye ‘08.

To the ones who’ve stood by my side through the year, I thank you for making this year possible for me. For having my back many a times, no matter how though things may have been going. I owe it to you’ll. A handful of special people who colour my life but ones life wouldn’t be possible without. Whether it was an accident of timing or a genuinely worthwhile friendship, cheers to a lifetime of cherished friendships!

Make 2009 a worthwhile year with lessons to take home as we all step into the boat of adulthood officially. One with less regrets but still more thrills. Cheers!
