The year that was...

Thank God ... 2005 is over

And as the new year comes to life, I too have to make a new beginning... a brand new beginning. In the other blog i was cribbing as to how life had become stagnant and why there were no drastric changes in life and then the change struck and how ... and here I am, confused as to whether I should look back at the year that went by or forget everything and look ahead.

I shall look back for once ... because the year did have many moments to savour, though it was all swallowed up by that one moment.

"Well- let me dive into the depths of time,
And bring out from the year that has rolled
A few small fragments of those wrecks sublime,
Which human eyes may never behold"

[ The context in which the poem was originally written may not fit in this situation, but then, the words certainly do ]

The beginning of the year -

It was fun. I remember the sunday tests. For most CA students, it is the biggest pain in the ass, but we (I and my group of friends) really enjoyed it. They were like weekly picnics ... all of us stuffed in the car, carrying tiffins and going to have ice creams or rolls or chaat after the exam... shall never forget those days.

Sonu Bhaiya also dropped in and we had a great time. Also got my digicam ... the year did start with a bang.

Then came the high of the year ... 25th Anniversary of Mom n Dad. It was simply awesome. The whole family had got together after a very long time. I seemed to have wheels under my feet ... making all the arrangements. The party had a touch of perfection ... the decoration, the food, the ambience, everything was better than what we had planned. And then the adda we had after the party, who can forget that ... n mom n dad singing together ...

Then came the B.Com Part 1 exams and during those days I suddenly started feeling lonely, but once the exams were over, I was back in high spirits. Read a few books, played cricket, watched movies.

By now the time to prepare for CA Inter had come, I was not studying enough, but then it wasn't too bad either. Bhaiya also came in August - September. However did not have too much fun with him as Inter was always there at the back of my mind. In the midst of this all, came another high of the year ... my B.Com results ... 83%, 2nd in the college, n most likely in the University as well. I was on top of the world .

October was a slog... studied harder than ever before, but not without the mid night madness with Rohit Bhaiya on Panchami night.

Then came CA Inter ... n I managed to do decently in almost all the papers. However, those 7 days were real tough days. I had never put in so much effort ever before and literally, I was running on medicines !!!

Post Inter, I was having a pretty relaxed time, until nemesis struck and my world came tumbling down. Since then life hasn't been easy... Anyways, I wont write more on that ...

Concluding ... a year of many highs, but little did I know that a big fall awaited me ...

Anyways ... A very happy new year to one and all!!

If GOD closes one door, he ensures that you have atleast one open door ahead of us. it is we who spend too much of time looking at the closed doors that we forget that HE is still there and there is an open door to welcome us.

Let us together move ahead with a brand new vision and spirit...
