It's been a great year for me. I have had that much fun that I knew I should have had before. I did things that I never thought I would do in this life. I behaved in ways so much that it was unexpected from me. I travelled to places following my heart. I didn't care about sleeping in airports, I ate what was given to me without complaining, I grew to the idea that I am growing.
Its been a thoroughly exhausting journey since then to now. But the exhaustion was worth it. For now, I can smile with my eyes and I can sit at my computer and work day in and day out.
If I were to highlight the most effective parts of 2008 it would be these, some small, mostly irrelevent in general but these I remember:
1. I have more girlfriends this year and we actually bond.
2. All these years when I thought I couldn't cook..? Guess what! I can.
3. I love collecting postcards and not sending them to anyone. Since august I have managed to collect quite a handful of them.
4. My fear of airports is gone.
5. I am becoming like Sarada, my Grandmom- a neat freak. I was happy to be excluded from that particular gene in my family but I guess there ain't escape.
6. I truly believe now more than ever that what goes around comes around.
7. My belief in miracles have strengthened.
8. Fairy tales do happen. Recently I had a prince who walked up to me and asked me my name. I didn't give it to him.
9. My blog received it's first serious negative criticism.
10. I love being on my own.
11. I managed to finally get my hands on The Pianist.
12. I stood in the Anne Frank House . I stood there and cried.
13. I bought my first Nikon D60 camera.
14. I have learnt to be self indulgent.
15. I have also learnt to be kind.
16. The fighter in me doesn't go away that easily.
17. I realized that all people are not good. There are some who may not give you space to walk out when you are choking to death in a crowd, simply because they want to see the fireworks at 00.00.
18. I made my first lasagne.
19. I realized how much I miss being at home with my family and frying fish for my dad.
20. I think this year more than ever, I have been a good daughter.
21. This year however I did not go to Mookambi and recite the saharanaamam. I hope to do that next year though.
22. I have partied enough and it's been lovely and exhausting.
23. I managed to buy some nice dresses and shoes.
24. I managed to donate money for causes.
25. I have helped people and didn't expect anything in return.
There's more but I think this should suffice for now. I think I'll start voicing my opinions on some other matters this year rather than being this self indulgent. The indulgence was necessary for me. But I think, it's done its job although not upto where I hoped it would. But, we can talk about other stuff from now on. Hopefully 2009 brings us more to write about and discuss in the blogoshpere.
