The year that was & the one which has come..!!

So I made a New Year resolution, to blog more often (and to apologize for the prolonged absence late last year, during which may be a couple of you apparently came, repeatedly, looking for updates. Sorry — life happened).

On second thought, that last line was written on my notepad file 3 days ago, I have never made any resolutions, in fact I am not a resolution making types. I make resolutions every single day and make sure they are not followed for even the very next day. But yeah, so called Year 2010 has happily passed away. Some say it was natural. My deepest condolences to another year who passed away 'naturally'. A lot happened, a lot more could have happened (avoided), a lot more will happen, probably already waiting to happen.

Had to make couple of huge decisions. One made, other still not. The one which was made, wasn't all that great. Changed my job. Or shall I say changed my first job. Actually was left with no option but to look out for something before being declared an 'outlaw' in my own company among my own people, who still, by the way, say I am a good guy. Well, thanks a lot but why is it then I am the one who was... Lets not get into details of that. As I wrote earlier Life Happened. Joined a so called Foreign Company (bank to be precise). Well, Oh Hell yeah! Its completely different experience. From 'Ties' to 'daily shaves' to wearing 'suits' on occasions (if not daily), everything changed to great extent. Life became like that of a celebrity. I had never been so sophisticated in life & I am actually surprised with myself. I mean wearing a 'tie' everyday. Never tried it after 9th standard in school also. I mean I was supposed to be one of the bright stars among the lot, so it was pardoned for me. College life had been casual as well. Probably I wore tie only twice in 2 years of my MBA. Once during a presentation where it was made compulsory to wear a tie (as that crazy teacher assigned some marks to so called 'dressing sense') & other during an interview. Well, I don't have a problem in wearing ties, in fact it improves your personality, but problem comes when you are supposed to shave your skin off your face everyday. I mean how is that possible. The moment I put that razor blade on my face both of them start giving weird expressions. My face & the razor. The face says - "Please don't scratch me off. I am gonna be a vital element of your personality. And mind you Mr. Vikas you are still single". Honestly I have no answer to that. And then the Razor says - "I don't have any problems with you rubbing me anywhere, your face or your ass, but give me something to remove also, for instance say hair?" Anyways this is so called supposed to be a MNC culture. My Arse!

Well, in all life was full of some light, some heavy, some uncontrollably sad & some superbly awesome moments. Hope the new year brings even more of joy & happiness and life continues the way it has so far. Only wish, May it becomes little less of complex and little more of understandable. I don't expect it to get easier. :-)

Aah!! Now to the decision which was left undecided. Probably you would have already guessed. Well, in all possibilities I had somehow thought I would get to chose someone special this year. Of course looking at how things started & how they turned out at home made it even more obvious that this is gonna be THE year. In simple words "Bakra Katne ki Baari aa Gayi Thi". Well, not sure whether it was good or not but I haven't still found someone worth sharing the life with. Or shall I say nobody else found me worth giving their valuable self. I would simply blame it on family. When you don't show interest they keep 'bambooing' your arse to say yes. And then when finally you say yes, all becomes so quite. :-) Not that I am so desperate but yes everything has some fun attached to it. I also wanted to be a part of fun. Looking at some girls. Meeting some more. Discussing 'Do you know how to cook food' 'Do you have any problem staying far away from your family' 'Do you think I am too thin for you' 'Do you have someone else in your life' 'What is your qualification' (I hope that qualifies for a question to be asked on such situations). All these questions are so meaningful at this juncture, aren't they? Which otherwise irritate you in normal life. Well, enough said about this, lets hope the new year brings new opportunities, new beginnings and new life. Its good to share your life and yourself with someone. God also never lived alone. In fact he had many partners to share himself with. Nothing wrong in choosing one for yourself. Of course then again sense of closeness, sharing, caring, loving, and all those wonderful feelings makes life even more special.

So Hope is the word. Lets see what and how it turns out to be. Amen!!
