Another year and they will call it Twenty-Ten!

I had posted this long back, almost a year back. A friend of mine asked me "Has anything changed, or you can still use the same post for this year"

The other day, I sent a mail to everyone in office inviting them to a small celebration that we had organised in office on the New Year's eve. The mail had a line that read "a year full of sweet memories..." and my colleague commented "are you sure (of the sweet memories)".

Am still trying to find answers to these two questions.

Yes, many things have not changed.. but some things have, and for the good!
And the year may not be full of good memories, but it wasn't that gloomy either.

When I sit back and count, there were more reasons to be happy that to crib about.

Home bound always!! I was home on all festivals and important occassions :)

Marriages Galore!! Three of my very good friends got married, and I could attend the wedding of at least one of them.

Two of my cousins also got married (looks like the entire year went away in marriages) and I thoroughly enjoyed the family reunions.

That one SMS. A friend made me realise the value of friendship through that simple SMS
that she sent while she was exchanging the marital vows with her beloved.

Pooo....My long time friend in the US of A is still in touch with me and we still share the same warmth.

Dube the painter. Friends gave me an amazing gift on my birthday.

Still stuck to Mahavir Classik. and I am loving it!! :)

That lovely 5-star dinner. And what a lovely time we had that night! Thanks Tushar and Ruchika for a memorable evening.

The Voice & Accent training. Learnt how your teeth need to pain(t) the tongue when you are saying "thank you" and that I have to bite my V's and kiss my W's. Crazy stuff!!

The unionbaazi at office. Though our lunch table has shrunk to three members for erstwhile figre of four, the unionbaazi continues. We have found some new members who have the potential to be a part of our union :)

While my mind has probably given up at this hour, I am sure there would have been a thousand other instances that would be a part of my happy memories for 2009. Not that I did not have my share of not-so-good memories, but what is the point is crying over spilt milk :)

I got this as a forward from a friend and somewhere it struck a chord !!

2008 was when.........
We passed out of college....
We got a job.........
We made new amazing friends.....
Some of us moved to a new city.....
Some of us celebrated our 21st - 25th birthdays.....
We waved good bye to our buddies leaving to the States for higher studies...
Some of us fell in love........
Some of us fell out of love
Some of us got hurt
Some of our 'friends' screwed up our love life
Some 'one' we liked, did not like us..
We made mistakes .... and repeated hem...
We made life decisions....... and these decisions turned out to be a tragedy
Some of us felt lonely ....
Some of us made an amazing friend in a new city
Some of us would have learnt to be stronger.....
Some of us would have realized that everything happens for a reason.....
Some of us let out our anger.....
Some of us never opened up to our friends about how we felt....
Some of us felt so glad and happy to be the way we are.....
We went out everyday and met up with old friends...
We had serious talks with our dad about our future.....
We missed each other when we were at hometown.....
We missed our mom here ...
We cried for each other ...
We celebrated our first Christmas with our friends ..
We were jobless all the time in office ....
We walked around the streets late in the night ..
We put budget for the next month (but strictly not following it)

2009.......one more year.....A year to....
Find our life partner (might be)
Smile........
Let people know how much u care...
Learn from our mistakes.......
Cry when we are feeling down.....
Follow our dreams.......
Fight against everything for our dreams to come true.....
Be more confident.........
Be more strong at heart and mind.....
Enrich our knowledge.........
Make others happy....
Take each day as it comes........
Forget about the downs we came across in the past year........ and remember every lesson we learnt through them........
Enjoy Life to the Fullest............

LET'S WAIT FOR THE WONDERFUL YEAR AHEAD!!
