2009 - A retrospection

   2009 has been an eventful year in my life. And here I am, trying to capture as many memories as I can of the year that is about to go by. There were happy moments and sad moments. Moments that gave me the high and moments that brought me down. I was definitely on a roller coaster ride as far as 2009 was concerned.

   It all started out with a great trip to coorg, Karnataka. The first ever new year I spent with my friends. And my first ever attempt at river rafting. It was an exciting start to a new year. A year started out with my favorite black forest cake and sparklers on the sky.

  Guess what, I started blogging this year :). This has been a wonderful experience for me. Blogging gave me the chance to vent out my emotions and I also had the privileged chance of meeting some amazing writers in this space. And I am still trying to absorb it all in here.

   This year has seen me a lot in theaters. Capped it with AVATAR. Well, what else can be a fitting adieu to a year that had not been that good personally for me :).

   This year has seen some of my relationships grow stronger and some strained. It has definitely taught me the value of life. I lost a friend and it had definitely thrown light on so many things that I had taken for granted. It always hurts to lose someone, no matter how well or otherwise you know them. Life is worth a lot more. This definitely had been a stressful year for me and I have been through emotional hell as I had lost something very dear to me. But then life has to go on. You cannot afford to be in mulch for too long. And I sailed, or rather I am trying to sail away from it, trying to gain composure and strength out of the very life. Things haven't been all that bright and sparky at the work front too. It has had its own ups and downs. Mostly downs though. So all in all a year that could have been way better.

   2009 has literally zipped past in lightning speed. And at the rate time is flying, we might soon end up wishing a new dawn instead of a new year. As always all my resolutions have seen no light and all the vows I have made have been broken. So this year had been no different from any other at that. :)

   I am hoping that the new dawn in 2010 brings with it new hopes and desires for all of us to cherish and live our lives for. I wish to be a better person, than I am, in the coming year. I wish I could bring happiness to the lives I come across and that I cause no aches. I wish that the universe sees a hoarde of good people, kind people and people who can ease the pain of a million others. I wish we all stick together to make this a habitable planet. May we all cater to nature and may we make our planet greener. May all of us be blessed with more courage, patience, endurance and love. May all our dreams come true and may we all go back to sleep each day with a smile on our faces. Wish you all a very happy, prosperous and a hopeful 2010.
