The past year has forced me to stop, look back and reflect on what I’ve done right, what I’ve done wrong, and what I haven’t done at all! A year that started very well, took a really ugly turn and ended – I don’t know how. Most of last year, I was overwhelmed, with every little thing, and looking back makes me feel like in the grand scheme of things, this is after all a year that will just fade.
The New Year is probably the most well known celebration in the world. For people like me however, it’s just another day! No resolutions, no celebrations to mark the beginning of a New Year. But as the year ended, and I took a moment to reflect, I knew - If there is any year I would never forget in my life – then its 2007. The last year has transformed me, taught me lessons; sometimes I struggle to live with them, I fight to disprove them, but at the end of the day I hope to carry them with me wherever I go. I know I haven’t done anything like I did last year in all my life. It’s the first time that I didn’t keep in touch with anyone over months, the first time that people around me influenced my life to such an extent, The first time I accepted a whole lot of non-idealistic things, and of course the first time that I ended up talking to anyone and everyone who came my way, as a result of which first time there were shocking revelations of people. I had small achievements to help me sail through a rather tough year, and I had myself. All in all GREAT! No, I’m not being sarcastic. I was always lucky beyond belief, and its good if once in a while, your good luck stabs you in the back, and shakes out the cobwebs.
Looking forward to an ambitious year myself, here’s wishing everyone else a very happy year ahead!

Bru, are you drunk ?
Well, I could have said some really intelligent things now. I will just say, Nice Post. Hope hypothetical, inanimate things don't stab you in the back in future.
I liked this line a lot though - "The first time I accepted a whole lot of non-idealistic things, and of course the first time that I ended up talking to anyone and everyone that came my way, as a result of which first time there were shocking revelations of people". I can say the exact same thing for myself.
Some things need to take place earlier than later. Like Bru mentioned, whatever happened, happened for good.
You shall have a lovely and beautiful 2008 that you deserve. Ummaaa ... :)
