2012 has been full of ups and
downs – of course, it must be no different to me. But while, I definitely owe
my appreciation and thanks to all those who are part of my life; I also feel
apologetic to those who felt, I am not the same this year.
What a fantastic year that was –
the moments, which didn’t knew what is going to come; the moments, which
expected something to happen and (needless to say) turned out to be something
else; the moments, which turned out to be a catastrophe – a minute after a
memorable adornment; the moments, when am appreciated for what I have not done
correctly and insulted for what I have done correctly; ceteris paribus – the
mind can love something at one point in time and hate the same thing at some other
point in time – the list is endless.
My year end note of 2011 was more
on relationships. Well I remember Will Smith’s quotes and I find it apt to
quote at the end of 2012 – “Throughout your life, people will make you mad,
disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with things they do, because
hate in your heart will consume you too”.
I would like to share the same thought to those who felt (or still feel)
I was on the other side.
Well this was the year where I moved
from 200 year old company to a 100 year old company after having served almost
8 years (half of my total experience). My heartfelt thanks to all those who
made my stay memorable and apologies to those who felt I have disappointed them.
I definitely owe special dedications to some who made my work-life balance – a
cake walk.
Throughout the year, there were admonitions
for several things; which I conveniently snubbed, with the firm belief that
everything is for good; but more than believing “everything is for good
(blindly)”, I should start thinking or rather believe “everything happens for a
reason”. Focus to correlate those warnings and happenings and clear the mess in
between – the high priority job in hand.
Well my fervour in certain
pastimes got (re)discovered this year I should say. These activities, which not
only allows me to give something back to the society but also puts me in touch
with right people and friends; visit various literary clubs and meet people;
exchange ideas; talk to them after making genuine grounding related to the
topic – It is always such a pleasure and so much fun to connect back with
people who has the same interest as you.
Peaceful and rueful moments are
unavoidable in life and this year is no exception. Made some new contacts; lost
few old contacts; some out of sight; some out of mind; some trying hard to stay
in memory while some hardly stays in memory; many a times standing as epitome
of guilty; sometimes an icon of innocence especially when people enjoy putting you
in back-foot through their anger, questions etc. etc. Well it is not always
easy to convince somebody with our thought but what I comprehend is “we do not
always have to be correct – but we can always stand to correct ourselves”.
Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviour;
Keep your behaviour positive because your behaviour becomes your habits;
Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values;
Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
- Mahatma Gandhi
Looking forward to a positive 2013. Happy New Year...
