Come new year eve, and there is this air of festivity around. It aint a festival for us indians but still what it definitely means is that a new calendar adorns the walls of our homes.
The trouble most of us have is in identifying a way to celebrate this day.
With no desi connection to it, its booze, music and loads of junk food which makes up the menu for the night ensuring that our doctors never go out of business right from day 1 of the year!
I had no clue how i would be spending the day either till late in the evening when my college buddy rajat invited me over to his flat where we caught up with a couple of movies over a roti and paneer makhanwala dinner for me and tangdi kabab for the others. and there in lay the first lesson of the year.. never eat a tandoori roti when its cold ..LOL
The movies we watched didnt work wonders for my appetite either. Slumdog millionaire has a sure shot appetite killer scene in the first half an hour or so i guess. so if u have that habit of eat n watch avoid it for the first half an hour or so.. after that you wont eat any way ;) :D
As i write this i am reminded of the " where to go? what to do?" plight i was in same day last year.
With an academic profile that would do me good only when seen upside down and a sagging ,yet still alive and kicking, spirit ,i was preparing ( well ok ! i dont think its what u call preparing) for the stage 2 of cdac's diploma course's entrance.
The course was the only way one could stand a chance of entry in the IT field if one had not made it through the college campus or didn't have any contacts. I fitted the bill perfectly.
However that was surely the beginning of a rise aka phoenix style... 8 years of misery put to an end in an years time.
Though not exactly in the kind of position i want myself to be in I am surely on the path.
My greatest realization,discovery or whatever you wanna call it is "THE LAW OF ATTRACTION". revealed to me by my personality instructor at CDAC Mr. Nitin Ahir.
The best seller "the secret" was the one which he used to put it across to us. Can never thank him enough.The law says our thoughts are a magnet and attract similar thoughts creating an avalanche of sorts.
My pillar of strength is Ganesha. This explains my orkut and gtalk display images.
The gtalk ganesha which also adorns my orkut album images is the work of a close friend who though is years younger to me, is , i consider, Ganesha's omen to me that my time has come and is here to stay!
The resolution for this year did u say??? --- stay on cloud 9 in 2009!
