On the go ! : December 2014

Caution: If you are an ardent believer of new year's resolutions and typical " open the bottle" types, sorry, I am not responsible for the abusing words ( or at least , not good words) in this post. I really didn't mean to discourage YOU !

OK, stupid sounds too harsh.. but seriously, do you think your life will change in one day just because you have a new calendar and a new list of resolutions in front of you ?
First of all, take a look at your past year.( i.e 1.1.14 to 28.12.14)
-You promised to exercise regularly.
-You went " OH! NO ! No sugar from today" on JAN 1st 2014.
-You made up your mind to study harder. Okay, at least , study "something" the day before semester exams.
- You posted on facebook that you would travel more this year, explore amazing cities and countries!
- You said " Promise maaaa!!!! only few minutes of Facebook / Whatsapp from today " to your mom.
- You promised to stick to your budget and stop donating too much to SPI cinemas or PVR cinemas and yeah , right, that also includes the red bucket of extra- cheesy- butter -popcorn and cold coffee.
- You had enough clothes in your cupboard ! SO, you made it a point in your resolution list to never over shop again
- No more fights. "I will learn to control my anger and solve issues peacefully" was your next point.
- Or whatsoever was on that A4 sheet of paper/ New year Diary/ Note taking app/ Some random sheet on earth.
The problem with New Year’s resolutions is that they’re typically endless and slightly depressing. Losing weight and exercising more, for example, are huge shifts in lifestyle, and lifestyle changes are harder to realize. Plus, most of us aren’t going to fulfill our resolutions anyway ( Well. if you fulfilled this year's resolutions completely, call me, I wanna talk to YOU and get those awesome tips )

My point is , dude , why wait for a new date, new calendar , new month to start working towards your goal ? You are NOT going to suddenly wake up on your new year with new attitude towards life or you will not suddenly get that bottle full of positivity on your new year day.
If nothing is going to change in a day, Choosing a single day to change your attitudes isn't just logical. When the day itself isn't logical, why do you want to celebrate it ?

I personally feel it's just a reason for people to get drunk, roam around , yell everywhere !!! If you feel like drinking, go now, have your glass and satisfy yourself.If you want to roam in the beach, take me along with you , anyday, I am ready. You don't need to wait for that "single night" to do all those stupidity. You can do it anytime, anyday. I agree, it does feel good and all when some random stranger on the road wishes you a " haaaaappppppy new yeaaaaar " but what the hell is going to change with your wish da ! Life didn't change for me in a single day , even when my closest ones wished me, let alone a stranger's wish of luck! It's not that I am being pessimistic or somthing, I'm calling for an end to these stupid promises that we make to ourselves on the brink of a new year.

YES ! New Year's Resolutions are sincere — people don't say to themselves "I want to remain healthy for only half year" I can understand...but you have to be committed to these goals. You have to be ready to start making lifestyle changes immediately. ( OH ! Just now you ate that cheesy cake made for christmas , didn't you ? Don't worry, Start from now ) Because while January 1st signifies the start of a new calendar year, actual change starts with YOUR internal clock, and that clock is already ticking..... Tick tick tick...

Well , 2014 is almost over and I can't believe it !

It's been a while ( precisely, one year) since I wrote and posted something here.

Chuck the past. Now that I am here again, I promise to write more frequently. All these days, though I haven't posted anything here, it doesn't mean that I didn't write. I did write a looot.... I'll post few of them gradually ( Obviously, I look forward for your views and comments on them )

So then, Coming to the year end, It is always special and nostalgic at this part of the year- to look back at the days one lived and relish those beautiful moments passed by and say tata to all those not-so-good-moments.

This year has been a crrrrazzzyyyy ride for me ! 365 days ( 359, to be precise) went in a jiffy. New experiences, new friends , more presentations, more nose cuttings, more laughter, more cries , more egos, more outings, more fun activities, more teasing , more cribbing, more studies , more love .... YES ! more of eveything !

Let me recollect what 2014 meant to me.

1. THE BEST thing that happened to me in 2014 was our college trip to poovar island ( A beautiful place in Kerala backwaters) . Those 5 mornings were filled only with fun and frolic and nights with crazy dance , food , and shocking revelations. Truly ,THE BEST days ever.

2. Secondly, friends. College friends can become your soul-mates for life (true that! )

-Five of us , Mansy, akshaya, kichu, deepika and yeah ,of course me . We bonded so well this year ! Touchwood, guys ! And I LOVE YOU all so much. I don't know what I would've done at MOP, If not for you guys.

- I also made some really good friends including abi, sush, axe ,sonal, nivi, mehak ans so many ! We all had so much fun at poovar and thankful to all those bonds !

- Meena, gaya, priya : you guys know how much you mean to me and yeah a big hug from my side.

-Divya : What do we call it ? A roller coaster ride? or a devil monstrous ride ? We went through all those not -so- good -moments and "you are my angel" moments ! No matter what, My unconditional love to you di.

Janani- My bestie since my commerce days , we managed to meet so very often despite all the constraints and I am so happy for that ! And yeah , that first selfie in your new moto-g Nobody can meet our wavelengths. Waiting for all those unlimited plans to be executed soon.

Akshaya: MY LOVE. You were the wall that I needed , you were the pillar of strength, you trust me more than anyone else , you heard me patiently when I cried and laughed for all my non stop mokkas, you were the first listener and editor to all my stories and creations and trust me , at this part of my life, you mean the most to me. More craziness, tears, laughs ans shocks awaiting in 2015. Be there for me.

Kichu : Laughing therapy , I should say ! Be it the worst day or the best day, you made me laugh with your silly laughter because I made you laugh with my timing jokes ( or the worst mokka, as Mansy would put it :P )
Pavithra: Yow ! scooty mate , bus mate ! You are the one soul who kept pace with my non-stop nonsense. We went through everything. Didn't we ? "Ah! What a beautiful day to ride" moments and " OMG. I was soooo close to death moments" ( blame my driving skills). I know that my pinky scooty is your lucky charm ! We become so damn close this year that I couldn't stop telling every single story on a day to day basis.... Aries buddy ;) , waiting for more !!

3. BYJU's Classes- No matter how much I hated to wake up on sunday mornings, I still loved these classes. Santhosh sir , RCs are so easy to crack only because of you ! My big pranams to you !

4. Bhumi- Though I didn't go for my classes this whole year ( Sistwa is being missed hugely) , I made it to the annual cultural fest nakshatra and loved being there every second. I made some really good friends this year too. Vasanth, Ganesh, Geetha akka, Vignesh , Ramya , Sharath :) Kudos to that !

5. Passing away of Gayathri's dad was the not-so-good-thing happened this year. It taught me that life can take turns anytime and we should learn to live our lives to the fullest. I was heartbroken for a few days.

6. Internship- One month spent well eating chips and sweets adding to my calorie count at IOB, RK Salai branch . Should I say anything more ?
7. Hema mam- She was another best thing that happened to me this year. An eye opener - by all means ( If you know, what I mean ) and an awesome mentor. Our class was lucky to have her. Or as she would put it , We were destined to share space with each other.. :)
8. Music- This year was a fantastic one ! I performed a small concert at my cousin's marriage function. Learnt a decent amount of keerthanais adding to my personal favorite list of thyagaraja keerthanas. Eager to learn more in the coming years and improve my vocal skills.

9. Coping up with stress, anger, anxiety , fear has been topping my list this year, adding to all those not-so-good-moments. With almost all exam result dates nearing and one more exam to write, Fear about the future is dancing every second in my mind.

Hoping for an eventful and fruitful year -2015 with positive results ! See you guys , Merry Christmas!
