This year has been a Rollercoaster ride for most people I know. Apart from the important events, such as the Economic Recession, Mumbai Bombings, US Elections of first African American President(trying to be politically correct) and Dark knight, which I believe is one of the best movies with the best Joker the world has ever seen, this year has been personally and emotionally life changing for a lot of people including myself.
Few things I have noticed this year is our ever growing dependence for technology ( this isnt a late realisation, just realised the full extent of it) We have become such slaves to our mobile Phones, our Laptops, our PSP's, our IPods. Seems like we look at screens more than we look at our loved ones. I for one am not sure what this means, because I support and love technology but just fearing wether Im replacing microchips for loving relationships, also debating wether thats a good thing. Have we started a point of perspective where we dont need the Human Touch? Would we miss it? Are we losing out? (Duh!)
This year has been a journey for me, leaving behind the familiar smiles of my family in Dubai and more importantly my family in Bangalore.
Personal Note to My Bangalore Family:
Guys I just want to say, I didnt leave because I didnt love you guys, I left because I had to move on before my ass would be stuck in one of the plastic chairs of Barista. I can never thank you enough for everything you have done for me, you have made me the person I have grown to love through your support. You are chrerished and missed EVERYDAY. Please always remember that. Each one of have reserved a VIP seat in my heart and it aint never goin away.
This year I moved to melbourne, carrying all that heartbreak of leaving my friends and family, but for anyone who is making a transition, I would say this. At first you will not be able to stand the distance and the emptiness, but eventually life takes over and new people come into your life and heal you. In Melbourne, I met people like that, they changed everything, they were like painkillers to the heartbreak, it never truly goes away because lets face it, you cannot ever stop missing your friends and family, but these Angels help you through it. They gave me a reason to wake up in the morning and I am grateful to them. I will owe you for making me laugh and for holding my hand through it all.
Thus with this Note I would like to bid the year of 2008, adieu. It has been very eventful and bittersweet. This year might have been the worst for some people, but for me, this year with all its ups and downs has taught me something about human relationships, Something I took for granted.
Never underestimate the power of friendship and Change is sometimes the best thing that can happen to you, so take it by the horns people.
Only way to live. :)
Goodbye 2008!

Happiness
Happiness what is it?
What does it mean?
Is it a childish need?
Or perhaps its just an illusion
Are you Happy?
Or are you just content?
Do you truly believe or are you in denial?
Or perhaps you are just hopeful like millions of us
Respect, Love, Faith, is that it?
Have I cracked the puzzle?
How come I still cant breathe?
Or perhaps I was wrong all along
Happiness is that tug in your heart when you see people in love
Happiness is the longing when you see a mother with her child
Happiness is the involuntary smile you get when you see two friends laugh for no reason
Or perhaps this is just loss
The loss of Happiness in your life.

My Curly Haired Beauty
The garden of solitude is where I resided
Running among the orchards
I always saw her, the girl with the curls
Unstoppable laughter, warmth and blinding light
She brought to me
Now I realize, all this time…
I was falling toward her, towards the light
Towards my soul mate, my missing piece
She saved me, in so many ways
Her beauty came from her kindness, her humility
We have the kind of bond people only dream of
Sharing thoughts and dreams without words,
We roam this city of hope.
Singing , Dancing, Giggling
Like we are children again
She brings out the best in me,
Like I bring out the vivacity in her
She is my Curly Haired Beauty
My flower, my Friend
She has transformed me into the Goddess
Never before or after, would I be this way
It was her and her alone who inspired me
When she is away, there is only emptiness
Longing for her company and her silly laugh
I hope never to be without her again…
