The last day of the year

The perfect time to stop and think... today’s the last day of an eventful year, and also of my winter vacations. I am not going to list what happened in the past 365 days, maybe because I can’t... never really been a ‘memory’ person. But having said that, there has been a lot to learn, a lot to feel, a lot to reason out, and a lot to take forward. It would probably not be an exaggeration to call it the year of my life so far, not in terms of achievement, obviously not, but in terms of what it has added to the wonderful creation called ‘me’. Ok, that’s a little arrogant. So, leave the wonderful bit out of the sentence if you want you, mine is a completely democratic blog.
Phew, good I got that part away. I have spent the last few days thinking about myself. So, I had to get a little paragraph on it, before I could come to other beautiful things. Now, it’s actually a little weird. I don’t generally leave topics incomplete, but maybe I would here. And it’s not because I can’t or don’t want to complete it, but just because I prefer to wait, to talk about it some other day.
Hmmm.... so that’s like two crucial issues done. The third one, South Africa beats Australia. I had a pretty nice time watching the two test matches. I never had problems with Mr. Pointing, but I always knew Graeme Smith was my favourite (and please it’s not a pun. I mean, even though it seems very much like a metaphor for deeper things, it’s not). And all the ‘reason loving’ people, please don’t ask me why, I can’t be answering this.
Fourth in the list is my recent passion for crucial situations. I have always loved finals, but I love them even more now. It’s good in ways, to be battling against the odds, and springing up surprises for everyone around, not because everyone around matters (only some do), but doing it for oneself. A little tricky, the last few lines... but then that’s how I write, bear with me.
So, I am all set for a brand new semester. In fact, waiting (im)patiently for it to begin. It feels great, I don’t quite know why, but my gut feeling says 2009 is going to be a very special year indeed. So, I sign off, wishing everyone a happy new year. May you all achieve your dreams (or on a more practical side, understand why the dreams were wrong if you don’t actually achieve them :) ) .
Enjoy every second of what’s coming your way!
Love you all
(PS: If you like solving puzzles, here’s a little one for you – The third line is not just a little ‘good to hear’ phrase, it has some resemblance to the entire post...)

Hmmm...

Thinking...

One needs to keep thinking while one is with him, but I guess one needs to be thinking harder reading his stuff...!!!

So, yes I have some very absurd resolutions for the new year, I share them only with a very few people.
They might be up on the blog some day if I actually manage to keep them for some time,
