At any rate, the start of a new year is upon us, and while I’m
not huge on resolutions, I totally support looking back at the previous
year and remembering everything that went on, whether through pictures,
memories, or a combination of everything. I devoted one of my blogs to
this last year, and I really want to do it again. When I wrote my
2013 review, I realized I had the greatest year — by any means. Let’s see
how 2014 unfolded…..
RESOLUTIONS & COMMITMENTS:
There is something about New Year that
fascinates all of us- RESOLUTIONS!!! Well, calling it Resolutions would be like
insulting many of us so I better call it Resolution. Or we can read Resolutions
by keeping the last "s" silent. Haha! But after 10 days of the first
month passes, we realize that we are unable to retain the momentum we had in
the last week of December the last year to start some new good habits in our
routine. But somehow I changed myself from the year 2013 and started taking a
calendar year very importantly because I wanted to achieve some targets in the
specific 365 days. Seriously speaking, such challenging and disciplined
attitude towards life came to me only because of my diary that I maintain….
Coming back
to my topic- Resolutions. I am not going to talk much as like last year this
year too I am not satisfied with the status of my Resolutions.. This time I
would not like to mention as it is shameful but I will try to achieve them in
2015 hence I will keep it due for 2015.
MEMORIES & EXPERIENCES:
Coming to 2014, let me epitomize the year and write
some wonderful things I got to do this year and some beautiful and memorable
things I got to witness.
- I have started my year with a tour to Gangtok & Darjeeling with my office buddies, in feb..
- The very next month I visited ‘’PURI’’ with my parents.
- I Got Transferred to MAITHON from KALINGANAGAR Projects in June.
- In August, again I got the opportunity to visit ‘’RAJGIR, NALANDA & BODHGAYA’’.
- In the month of October, I booked a CAR (Hyundai-EON).. and turned one of my dream of having a Car into reality.
- And finally I ended-up losing my bachelorhood in the month of November.. Yes, I got married with my dream-girl ‘Nitu’..
- We have also been to ‘Mata Vaisno Devi’ & ‘Sri Sirdi Sai’ just after our marriage in December.
Currently,
I have mentioned only these few ‘new things’ I experienced in the year 2014.
There has been many small experiences too, which I don't want to share all of
them as I am not a ‘celebrity’ about
whom you are interested in knowing about. :-) I had few targets in 2014. I
achieved many of them. I had a target to finish my CMA examination without any
failure but I missed with few marks. This year too I had a target of reading 20
books but ended at only 5, this time.
There are
so many things that I learnt in 2014 about being a better human being that I
feel I am a more mature person who is going into a new year….
Friends are something that everyone
in their life has, in-fact everyone needs friends. If they do not, you do not know who you are. You don’t
feel like you exist. There is no reason to smile. And in this regard, 2014 was very unlucky for me as was one of those
unfortunate souls who end up losing his BEST FRIEND cum MENTOR this year, still
trying to figure out the reason or what went wrong, Just my Bad-luck I guess..
I am not
a person that particularly likes to talk about myself, I am quite happy to
listen and help others in any way that I can. But her absence made me so lonely,
that I never realized being so alone could be so demoralizing….
I have also
learnt a beautiful art called HELPING. Even when I am not related to someone
and I get a call or message, I make it sure that I do something for them. This
year I made it sure that I help my friends & juniors with their Jobs. I
never do anything for anyone with a small mission of getting help back when I
would need it. I have learnt something called “Self-dependency” attitude and I
live by it.
2014 has
also shown me what failing after a long time means. At one point of life when
you see only extra-ordinariness happening with you, you get into habit of
tasting only success. And suddenly when rejection comes to you, you slip earth
off your feet. I saw one such incident this year which made me believe that no
person even with all hard work and utmost dedication can only succeed. Time
comes when God tests his patience and for that, he fails the person. I have
learnt that whenever I would fail again in life, I will take it as an
opportunity to get closer to God because that is what the almighty wants from
us. Being near to God is the best that you can do to keep your mind serene,
peaceful and happy in the times of failure and calamities. 2014 has taught me
lot of things which I am sure cannot be described in just a Blog Post.
Similarly, there has been many such
experience in 2014 which I am in no state to share with all of you, currently.
In short, I would like to tell that since 2009, all the years has been better
than the last one. And hence, 2014 has also been the Good-One. And I would like
to thank all of you for being with me throughout the year. Let's promise that
we will stay together in each other's success throughout 2015 too. I hope this
year has been good for all of you. Though our country is seeing some worst era
of its safety, security and prosperity, let's not think about it in this last
hour of the year. Let's be concerned about it, let's protest about it rather
than stop celebrating our life that God has blessed us with.
Thanks.
