Happy New Year

Hey Guys

Its 2015. Many of you would have partied hard at night. Others would have had a quiet evening with family at home. And many of you would have also just lazed around like me, wondering what the heck is this New Year celebrations all about. Well, it is all right to thing either which ways. the bottom line is that we have another year to look forward to. And while the year holds a lot of promise to everyone, it would be important to find out what we could not do in 2014 and start afresh. 

We all do have our New Year resolutions, so i am no different. And while i don't intend to share all those in this space, the one resolution i do feel very passionately about is to interact with more people and travel more. The other day i was thinking that in spite of the fact that i love travelling, i can count on my fingertips the places i have visited. India is such a vast and culturally versatile country that once really cant say that he has travelled the length and breadth of it. It is like a huge ocean where there are so many species to spot, and where the taste of the water seems ever so different at different places. 

Coming back to the blog's theme, i.e. the New Year, it is important to understand with what spirit should we look up to 2015. For those of  my age, guys and girls, we all would turn 29 this year, good enough to give us goosebumps of entering the 4th decade of our lives in not too distant future, However, since certain things in life are inevitable and hence uncontrollable, to hell with brooding over it. For me every new year is a starting point towards reviewing what was left unfinished. It is about living life with a renewed vigour, in spite of the harsh realities of life. It is about trying different things...it could be a different drink, a different dish, a different destination. And while i am a firm believer of not getting addicted to anything, at the same time i do feel one must try out most things in life (and not all!). 

And with that spirit i shall be off to Rajasthan, in a few days time, As i plan to undertake this journey, there is this pending job of getting myself registered for my 2nd semester M Phil in JNU, However i do look forward to meeting people i have never met before, seeing places i have not seen before and 

eating a few things, withing the scope of my current state of stomach, which is fragile, that i have never eaten before.

I hope you all, no matter how 2014 has gone for you, are able to look forward to 2015 with the same spirit of always being youthful and joyful, ready to accept life's challenges and create a new chapter in your own lives. 

Wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2015.
