It takes one comment, one line to see a person in a totally different light.
It takes one incident to realize that u judged a community too early
Sometimes u realize that u r a different person then the one u thought u were.
I missed my customary New Yr Post. As always, better late than never.
Arrival of 2006 was celebrated with a few friends on the banks of Ganga in Rishikesh.2006 was supposed to be the year of transition from college life to professional life.
I had experienced the uncertainities, the problems, the home sickness etc that come with change earlier. And assuming that I was more 'mature' and hence more equipped to deal with these things meant I wasnt too worried. As Chandler would have said "Could I be any more wrong".
But I have to admit, 2006 hasnt been all that good to me. Last semester in college was gr8 but there were some fights & issues that I could and I should have avoided.
And after 7 semesters of cursing Roorkee and wanting to get out asap, I picked out the worse possible time i.e. the 8th sem to realize that I will miss Roorkee.
The first 6 mnths at Bangalore havent been the best. I mean 3 accidents in 6 mnths. CMH hospital shld have offered me Frequent Patient plan.
To add to all of these, loss of HrishiDa (My fav Hindi movie director of all time), Zizou (The Soccer God), Michael Schumacher (Any introductions needed ?) made it the yr when I have to find new idols. Still looking, but these boots r not easy to fill. And I dont even need to speak abt how RM has been performing.
I have had worse yrs but I have also had better ones. Now every cloud is supposed to have a silver lining. Maybe I just didnt c it this yr or I'll realize it in retrospection sometime l8r. For the time being, 2007 offers a new beginning, a new hope. After all, that's the reason why we celebrate New Yr.
And also New Yr means Resolutions. I guess I'll continue my last yr's resolutions only. So same resolutions for the second consecutive year. Now to c those resolutions, I'll have to check my post for 2006 resolutions, which is not a good omen. But lets hope.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Yr 2007

Hey, I did'nt know about the third accident. .. good post tho. All the best for the year ahead.. and ya welcome-2006 was really cool. Was your pondi trip at-par with that.
Welcome back to life !
We've had a chat earlier about the number of famous and loved sportsmen retiring in the past year or two. Its sickening to have to watch a game knowing that the person who you always looked out for will never be there again.
Transition to a working environment is a culture shock for everyone, isnt it? When you are in college, you think you would be more independent when you work and you have money in your bank account. What you realize when you actually start working is that you've traded your time and most often, your friends for all the money. Instead of independence, what you get is even harsher slavery where you have to do another's bidding and let your life be dictated by another !!
On a brighter note, maybe 2007 will throw up some interesting career paths for us. A path to that "difficult to attain" job satisfaction. I hope that every year. I hope this time I'm right.
