Where am I heading?

It has been a long day

Let me rest awhile

To prepare for another day

And face it with a smile.

Years pass by in a blur

Where did they go, I wonder.

In the pursuit of living,

Just didn't notice life leaving.

People and places

Known,unknown faces

Betrayal, friendship

Happiness, hardship

Agony, epiphany

Twists and turns so many!

I will carry on

In the quest for the elusive

Blurring the lines

Between real and delusive

Till one day

When it will all end.

I will carry on,

Carry on to that end.

Before it gets lost, preserving for posterity, a reply in verse from a friend-thanks a ton, AC!

life may've gone unnoticed
but now is your chance
read through all those skipped pages
and re-write your plans

at times you may regret
what all you've lost
but believe me when i say
some things are better in the past

sometimes you may be astonished
what all you've achieved
how little you've asked for
and how much you've received

pick all the gems
your friends and relation
for you must go on
and they'll be your motivation

don’t hold it tight
let it pass as sand
embrace the life waiting
smiling on the other end

What I want in 2010

I wont put these down as resolutions cos resolutions are made to be broken. So, these are the things I want. Will how much of it turns into reality:

• More love and patience in caring for my child. I hate the times I yell at him. I hate the times he has to adjust so much for me. My child, I want to be a better mother to you
• A more healthy me:less junk food,more fruits, more exercise...sigh
• Good news- for my dad, my son,my hubby and me for different reasons(promotion,school,etc.). if possible, good news for everyone-may all our good wishes come true
  
• Return to some good hobbies-singing, reading, old friends (and new)
  

That's it for now. will probably return to add more

Retrospect 2009

A fond adieu to 2009. Some of the good things that happened this year:

• hubby finally got thru the entrance to his dream course. tough years during the course but all in the game
• little one learnt to speak, picked up so many rhymes and words, has been potty-trained, has nearly outgrown his bottle, loves me in the way that only children can and that, more than anything, is enough for me in life
• finally got a team-change...letting go of my baby-the previous project and a tl position to get back to development was a huge emotional upheaval but getting out of the comfort zone has turned out for the good so far
• had good breaks this year-coorg in april, mumbai in june, home for diwali for a nice big family reunion(i'l never forget the treasure hunt bro and i set up :)), lovely driving and shopping in pondy...i'm loving it
• finally got a new car-the fiat grande punto. lovely so far but havent yet tried MS's Blue and Me

Hoping the new year turns out to be a happy, peaceful, green, healthy and prosperous one for everyone. God bless!
