2012- A Happy and Success laden Year ahead!



Happy faces and greetings in the air, a new year is a time for fresh start at life, yet again!
2012 is here amid all the furor surrounding it and believe me, I have heard more shrieks than I ever did, seen more frenzied faces than before and felt more positive energy in the air than ever before. 
The World's coming to an end? I don't think so, in fact, it appears to me as just another excuse to party hard. Humankind has sinned but I don't think it sinned enough to get God to write us off this planet just this year!! For one, there hasn't even been World War III yet! How can the world end?? If the Mayans couldn't move past 21-Dec-2012, it either means they have run out of rock or the energy to proceed further. On second thoughts, I think they might have actually figured out that since they weren't going to be there around 2012, there was no point working hard at making calendars for the future generations. They must have analyzed- “Why should we do all the work while they just laze around, let them complete their calendars! For now lets play!” And so ends the matter and thus, the end of Mayan calendar. Really, it's all as simple as that. I would steadfastly hold to this belief of mine. And if the world were truly to end on 21-DEC-2012, there wouldn't be anyone around to ridicule me anyways!! So, for now I maintain- 21-Dec-2012 will be the day when half the world laughs at the other half.
Since I have confidently dispelled the rumors about world's end, I can now begin talking of my life's beginning. A new beginning. Since the last few months, a persistent thought has been - “What next?” The last time I had this thought was the year I joined my Engineering. Then on, it had been a smooth four years packed with lot of lessons and memories. I knew that second year of engineering followed the first, third followed the second and fourth followed the third. And now, as I am in the last semester of fourth year, when I ask myself “What next?”, I stumble for a response. Of course, there are plans and back-up plans but what is really next?? Which of the plans would execute? Whether any of the plans execute?? Will there be an unanticipated twist in the tale? WHAT IS NEXT???
The surprise kills me but it is also one that helps me wake up to each day as if the secrets would unlock themselves on this very day. This element of surprise is what keeps us away from monotonicity. We never know what might happen the next moment. We may, with all our energies and intellect, make surmises but can never predict with complete confidence the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event. There are no absolute truths about tomorrow- there can only be opinions. “21-DEC-2012 isn't the day world ends” is my opinion- share it or ridicule it, that's your choice. You may be as wrong as I am or they may come a situation where both of us may be wrong! But who can say now? Only time will tell... 
Meanwhile, do we just sit about idly and wait for time to pass? No! The world moves on and so do we. I have dreams to fulfill, ambitions to foster and determination to build my world. This hope, this resolve will lead me forward. I do not want to regret a single day of my life and though this may not be entirely possible, starting with the premise actually gives me hope to realize it. The world may end tomorrow or a few months later or a few million years later, but I should be able to accomplish what is within my reach. There shouldn't be any fault with the efforts on my side. Yes, I have made my new year's resolution- one that I intend to keep for every year that may follow.
2012- I give you my best. Favor me with what I deserve.
Indeed, I wish for A Happy and Success laden Year Ahead!

Random Ramblings-2

Y et another stream of thoughts interrupted, with the loud thundering noise outside. As I look through the plain glass window, the gathering of the ominous clouds casting their shadows on the ground below, I firmly come to the conclusion that out there is where I belong, not in this stuffy classroom loaded with a monologue! Out there, filling my senses with the smell of the wet Earth, kiss of the first showers, sight of the overcast sky and the strangely comforting sound of thunder, as of the pitter patter rain drops while tasting the pure drops of water from the heavens themselves—that is where I truly belong, feeling alive with every single passing moment. Rains always evoked that excitement in me. Rains always held that mystique calling. They brought the smile back on my face and a pining in the lit up eyes. And though I may rave and rant about the summers and winters, the rains- whenever they come are most welcome. They have my heart and every feeling that is inspire...

Live…Laugh…Love…

A bright ray of light infiltrated through the small crack in the translucent window and perched itself stubbornly on my shut eyes, urging me to get out of my bed and enjoy the marvels of the sunny morning. I smiled, yes, because I believe in starting my day with a smile in the heart and a song on the lips. Last night, I had gone to bed listening to Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, so now the song began playing in my mind automatically, on a loop. I welcomed some more sunshine into my room and walked out to the sprawling terrace, to warm up to the day that lay ahead. A cool breeze blew a few strands of my unkempt hair and I stood there, while happy birds were chirping, singing their hearts out, calling out to their mates, flocking together in the blue skies above. The fog was clearing slowly and steadily. And the path was becoming clear. The nights were cold and chilly but along came the mornings that warmly cuddle you with boundless hope and a silent happiness. In the past few ...

Autumn Joy

Joy walked across the park where a beautiful young woman was sitting with a yellow maple leaf in her hands.  "You never cease to amaze me, Joy. One minute, you're following me around like a petty pot of glue and as soon as I'm out of the picture, you're onto conquering the next challenge." "Look who's talking", laughed Joy, "While you last, you're a celebration. And then you're gone, for months on end. You raise desperate hopes and then leave a cold trail. And right when I'm recovering from the void you'd left behind, you jump back in, more beautiful and vibrant than before. How am I to help myself?" "Stop chasing me", Autumn snapped mischievously.  "I would if I could", Joy answered matter-of-factly. Her laugh was crisp, like the raking of leaves.  "You're always changing Autumn, you're in a constant flux. It's taken me many seasons to learn and accept that you'd ...
