Before taking any decision I ask myself one question: Will this make you happy?

Somehow putting things under the Yes/No light helps to lead an uncomplicated life.

Yes, shifting and starting afresh in a new city, meeting and working with new people, indulging in some soul searching... all of it is going to make me happy. Very happy.

"There was a point in time when I cared about people. I was genuinely concerned about their likes, dislikes, dreams, fears. I would remember birthdays and take time off to make each one special. I don't know when I became so... indifferent and cold. Or did I just turn cynical and bitter?"

"I've known you for three years now. You haven't changed at all."

Sometimes all that it really takes is one conversation with someone who likes you for the mercurial nut that you are.

Plainly put, I'm happy but not euphoric. I want to be giddily glad.

If 2012 is supposed to be a great year, I'd like to see the signs soon.

Feb would be a great place to start.

*fingers crossed*

One of the biggest reasons I love working with children is because they act their age.

Something we "adults" should keep in mind.

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know where.

A line from one of my favourite songs. I love how it hints at sadness, aspiration, friendship, loneliness, joy and philosophy... akin to the year that's been.

And the year that is on its way.

Not as fresh as mint.... or as spirited as this blog was intended to be.


May 2012 be better in some ways.

Some days...

...just go by. The same mundane routine, the same road you walk on, the same pair of jeans... And on such a day when you least expect it, you get smashed by an A-ha moment. Right there... hitting your head, heart and soul. You rise from the dead. And you begin to feel.

This is significant because it makes me feel content. Let go off the bumpy past. Let the future be. Just that one moment was the closest to your idea of perfection. And now you roll in it, look at it from every angle, play with it and then allow it to calm you down. Its beauty lies in its unpredictable nature. And how it makes you believe once again.

Gonna enjoy this for all that it is worth. Every bit of it.... While this plays in the background.

Some days must be lived all over again :)
