It has been one hell of a year. Disaster, personal loss, heartbreaks but equally fun, new friends and great times. A year that taught me pretty much how life will play itself out in the coming years. It was like a trailer of my life that had the highlights showcased to help me be prepared for what lies ahead.
It has also been a literal turning point in my career and life that has set pretty much the direction for my future. And for that I have a whole lot of people to thank. The year started off with high hopes of making it big into the Indian bureaucracy, followed by failure, loss of direction, passive thoughts, lots of counseling, patient knocks, gate-crashing offices, handing out resumes followed by more waiting, and then it happened. There was one phone call from one good soul that helped me switch tracks and start my engine and then, there has been no looking back. Amazing friends, exposure to cultures of other countries, party nights..life indeed came back to me by the end of the year.
The perpetual expectation and waiting for something better to happen vanished and I started living in the present. When I was chasing joy and success, they ran away from me. But when I turned my back to them and started walking in my own direction, life seemed much more happier. I cannot call myself successful but I am definitely positive and happy.
2009 is not a year that I want to look back and have fond memories, but it definitely is a year that I will never forget.
Here's looking forward to a great 2010.
And yeah, its a promise to rant more..and its also a promise to start writing that novel
An Impatient Indian
