Happy New Year ?

Dear 2011,

I knew you were going to be the difficult one.I mean, especially after the beautiful & dreamy (bed of roses & little thorny) 2009 & 2010, you had to be a practical one & you are not leaving any doubt about that but wasn't it getting too much.Of course, am not alone.Saurav Ganguly & the WWW - World Wide Weather (with excess snow, floods & extreme temperatures) in general too hold the same opinion about you & some similar feelings.

Well, after some major attacks on the Personal, Career & Health Front during the first 2 weeks, yours truly totally wanted to skip you completely & directly jump to the doomsday year & had even got it declared on FB with 12 instant supporting comments too ! but then.. she had luckily watched few movies like The Shawshank Redemption & fortunately enough remembered some lines as ~ "Hope is a good thing, may be the best of things , and no good thing ever dies" & soo wanted that the things would turn around & ...... voila ! you did surprise me on one of the most unexpected front - Yearly Office Ratings !! I mean my dear 2011 I liked it, your charms of surprising me, of course I deserve that & happily accept it.. but I wanted to use that at the Personal Front the most right now ! Not the ratings silly but the luck !!

Didin't get me ?

Alright, there is a funda.. you get it while reading a Paulo Coelho book. It says, we all have a fixed amount of luck with us given for a particular life or may be an year or month, I mean whatever the basis be, luck comes in a tight sealed fixed quantity bottles & the faster you use it, the faster it gets over ! Hence the emotions above..

In short, am not expecting much but please don't trouble me that much !

Yours Truly

Galaxian !

Anyway, if you have managed to read all this & reached here.. Wish you a great '18 days into the now-not-so-new' new year, with bottles full of luck :) Bad timings I know, even the new year resolutions must be long forgotten by now but again I can safely blame the delay to 2011 again.

PS : Self Realization : This year, I badly need to add few drops of luck into this Blog too !

A short Affair

This so sums up my 3 year stint with CAT :

There are definitely better things in life to fall for.I ain't so naive now as I was 3 years back.Time Changes, People Change, & blah & blah & all that list with you it changes, so why not CAT ! Let it be.

PS: (yea I soo like PSes specially when the actual write up contains nothing :P)
1. Validity of the Post is only till this Jan, the results might change the opinion expressed above.
2. I now know the difference between CAT & MBA !
3. All geared up for the SSS (Super Six Sundays)  !! Updates wanted/unwanted would follow soon.

This Day That Year !

I always wondered, why do newspaper even have to put such a column every day, may be just to ostentate their old glory & heritage, as they say, like TOI even once boasting about their news published  "this day that century"  just to patronize its once considered rival DNA. Interesting as it turns out always, there indeed has to be something interesting that did happen at least in some of the years ago, but on that particular day !

I too had this small flashback of my life & woah any normal day like Today did have interesting things to flash !

An year back, on this day, I had just celebrated a first of its kind Diwali & had just shown first of its kind of courage (that too in tonss..!! another long story) & ahh.. how life was different at that time, back at Kolkata. Leaping back further an year, the bad  old days of counting weeks and days to go home from college, back at Lakshmangarh !

Reflecting back at this rear view mirror,at least gives me one important insight "How life changes" (read changes drastically in the  last 3 years) & how beautiful & "complicated" it keeps getting :)), &  how every year what I wanted badly gets approved & granted the next year Lol & of course how unpredicatble it is for next years to come ! When next year some day I get some similar thought & make you read all this !
