Life is a lonely
journey a person is ought to do but with an unknown destination which has to be
explored and reached. The roads of life are rather smooth some times and rough
in the tough times. Every thing happens in a jiffy in life. You never know what
happens in the mere future. Life takes sudden turns at times.
The year 2011 was
one of its kind and it turned out to be one of the most fascinating and
unforgettable years of my life. That was the year where my priorities have
changed a lot causing a lot of transformations, many eye-opening incidents took
place which strengthened my attitude, explored some hidden qualities of mine,
unlearned quite a few things, got answers to a few questions which I always
wondered, new things added to my list of hobbies, converted into a
non-vegetarian which is an acquired taste and so on.
With my
experience I figured out that life is a very bad master which teaches us a
lesson out of pain. So, I decided not to give life many chances to teach and to
avoid the pain started learning the lessons from others' lives and there by
reviving my zeal to learn things which I lost after entering into B. Tech life.
Sounds funny but it works. Subtle change in the thinking has created a huge difference
there by reducing pain regarding certain aspects.
There are a few
things in which I lost interest like bursting the crackers and chatting in
mobile phone which obviously made me stay away from them. The life without
mobile is also better. It saves a lot of time :). Well, I am not going to die
of radiation for sure: D. I was like a perfect Hyderabadi few months back who
do not have the habit of getting up early in the morning, who don’t give a damn
about what is going around the world, reading meant only the academic books
before, articles meant only the ones of the grammar but now things have changed
and I have turned over a new leaf. I got used to getting up early now because
of my cat classes which was a nightmare before. I am elated at my adaptability.
Novel reading, blogging aroused a new interest in me and they have become my
new hobbies. I am having loads of fun reading novels and doing thought-provoking
things like writing. In fact, reading and writing have improved my thought
process to a greater extent, broadened the mindset like a horn antenna. I feel
that reading and writing should be encouraged at school level which is missing
in most of the schools.
All in all,
2011 has brought many positive changes and made me wreath with smiles and
creating even more excitement about 2012. There is a rumour that 2012 is going
be the end of the world and there is a movie on that as well but I believe that
it is just the new beginning. After all, life is all about living with a hope
of having a better life in the future. Thanks to all my friends, family and
every one who were part of my life in 2011 for making it a spectacular year
with loads of memories to cherish.
