ADIEU 2009

GOODBYE 2009.
What an eventful year it has been for me!
I experienced both sides of the same coin. If April was a bad month for me, May was an equally joyous month. The year has had lot of surprises in store for me.It has been both cruel and kind to me.
My hardwork put through the last 2 years had finally paid off. It has been a major turning point in my life in both professional and personal life. Professionally, it has helped me achieve my short term aim. Personally,it taught me a very invaluable lesson and I have become more experienced and wary out of it.
The year has been good to my friends too. Many of them got whatever they wished for.Abhishek achieved his dream-joining the IAF. Kalpana finally got married to the person she loved.Nalini also found her ideal match. Abhimitra got placed into a good company. Anisha and Ameena also secured a seat in the MBA colleges of their choice.Vineela finally found her match.

Then there were times of the year when life raised its ugly head. We lost a promising person of our family to God.The state is on the brink of violence.The floods in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu left thousands devastated.

There are some issues that are yet to be resolved. India is making a mockery of its judicial system by denying and delaying justice to deserving victims, and also delaying the prosecution of the lone terrorist, Abul Kasam under the pretex of "following the Constitution Acts". People in Telangana are employing "anti-Gandhigiri" principles to achieve their goal. Whatever happened to the quote "UNITED WE STAND,DIVIDED WE FALL"?

People have lot of hopes and aspirations on a new year. They wait for New Year's Eve to make a resolution.Why wait for a New Year to make a resolution? Why not implement it soon? After all, every day is a new beginning.

We must make the best use of our time and put it in the best possible advantage. The best way we can be at peace with the rest of the world is to "LIVE AND LET LIVE". I am not making any resolution because I do not believe in making New year resolutions. If I have to make one, I would make one at the earliest possible.

I am hoping this New Year brings us more peace than violence.Let us see what awaits us in the new year. Meanwhile I will also not forget to live each moment as it comes by because every moment is a learning experience, be it good, joyous or bad.
