Wishes for the New Years

Firstly, a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year to ALL of you!! Nevermind that the first month of the year has already passed and all the new year hoopla has settled in! Yet, I want to wish all of you a very happy new year 2008!! :)

My wish may seem wierd, but this year did not exactly start on a great note (was a rather bad start, if i may say so!!). But things are just changing for the better and the future looks much brighter now, than it did on December 31, 2007, when i was wondering, if there was something to welcome for in the new year!! Little did i know, one month gone and i would already be on a life changing track! :)

The concept of new years has always bemused me. The festivities that mark the change in a digit of the year are always combined with starting the first day of the so-called-new-year with a hangover...LOL. Don't call me a cynic...yet! I enjoy the hype and hoopla, but what i don't understand is, why do we rejoice for a change in the date, when the actual reason for celebration should be a change in us or ur lives, in a positive way! I mean, just because we ushered in Jan 1, 2008 with a bang, does not mean it will be great for us all through, or if the new year's eve was disastrous enough to make us cringe, the whole year would be the same way too?....Would it?

For me the past year has been one of my BEST!... and for more reasons than one... be it the month long trip to Banglore, some amazing new friends and the experiences they got, the joy of getting somewhere in my career, enjoying the progress in my friends' lives and acquiring different skills in general... my growth satisfied me... and let me tell you, my last new year's eve was spent studying for an exam : :

Am looking forward to an exciting year ahead... and the chances of it getting exciting are pretty evident at the moment... Hope you have a great year ahead too! :)

And speaking of my friends... here's wishing Sakshi my heartiest congratulations and best wishes for her new assignment in Sydney... Hope to meet you there in June!! :D
