GOOD BYE – 2014

It’s time to say good-bye to the year 2014- A year that has been little fruitful with so many happenings that I will always mention it in the timeline of my life whenever I would be telling about it to my children or grand-children. I, as an individual, always take responsibility of my life but there’s only certain things in my hands to execute, rest happens the way it wants to. But I make it sure that whatever is in my control does not see an underwhelming performance. I am a human being and therefore I even fail incessantly but that’s what makes life risky and worth living.
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.
