Come Undone!

I can feel my heart
And it's fit to burst
I try to clean it up
But I just get worse


With the sun setting on 2010, my head is bombarded with a million thoughts. Its like a perfect ending - a weekend, a month end and a year end. Sometimes just one small thing ruins it all. Sometimes just one thing makes it worthwhile. I ve got the former all year through like little packets bursting to wake me up from the dream where everything is fine. What a waste sometimes it can be to weave something! As perfect it may seem - Just pull one string and it comes undone.

Foolish-ly yours

Good, Bad, Ugly

Of all the messiness internal to my head and the heart for the last 3-4 days, it spilled onto the outside too. Sometimes they say the exterior is a reflection of whats on the inside.

- Wore the same clothes for the 2nd consecutive today. Shabby Me :D
- Went to work without taking a bath. Filthy Me :D
- Wore the tee and the sweater inside out. Stupid Me :D
- Forgot my work laptop at home. Foolish Me :D
- Locked out my own account by entering a wrong password 3 times. Idiotic Me :D
- Wore no earrings or kajal or combing my hair. Ugly me :D
- Told all the above to almost everyone. Funny Me :D

Of everything that happens and bogs me down, thank god for small mercies that I can still laugh at the silliness of things than let the drama rule my life.

Smiling-ly yours

Physical Attraction?

What does physical attractiveness mean to you?

1) Physical Attraction EQUALS Sexual Attraction
2) Physical Attraction DOES NOT EQUAL Sexual Attraction
3) Is the meaning different depending on whether you're male or female

Post with what you think and what your gender is!

Erase & Rewind

November went by so fast without even making a swooshing sound. With the privelege of it among the last few months of the year, November makes a special case this year. Total crazy-silliness, yet, personally satisfying and fulfilling in a way. Draining and exhaustive in another way. Having enjoyed and survived it all and totally loving the fact. December knocks at the door. Bring it on I'd say!!

Lost in Translation

Seven in the morning
The sun isnt shining
I wake up with a sigh
I dont know why!

Snooze the alarm twice
Twist and turn thrice
Turned 28 from ten
I dont know when!

Cover up with a bedsheet
Curl up my tired feet
Mind runs like a crazy hare
I dont know where!

Rest my head on the pillow
Control the tears that flow
Feeling cold or hot
I dont know what!

Rub and Close my eyes
Wishing for clear blue skies
Will I ever be understood
I dont know who would!

Swing Vote

All my life I have stayed in Delhi and loved it to the core. Everytime my friends from Banglore, Hyderabad, Chennai or Mumbai complained delhi was a horrible place, with bad people and no culture. I always supported and defended my place of birth. Today, I was let down. My vote has swinged today the other way. Delhi isnt all that great. I am too pissed with the people of delhi today.

The reason of my ire: 5 school kids on a speeding santro, crushed a rikshawala to death and they try to flee. Their so uneducated mom accuses me of trying to make a quick buck for standing up for the poor fellow who died on the road, because of her son, who had credit cards in his pocket but no DL. He had his chipped nail to show he was hurt too from the accident. Ofcourse I was angered and heated up, by her attitude and audacity, and to cool me down that lady offered to get me a cold drink. Disgusting! Absolutely No humility, No shame, No guilt, No civic responsibility!

I really wonder, do we really deserve to be in delhi, a world class city when we cant appreciate something as simple as human life. The people of delhi let me down today, very very badly!!

Free Falling

Should I just ask
Instead of wearing a mask
That everything is alright
Not by a long sight

Should I just hangon
when conclusion seems foregone
somethings may change
the world looks so strange

Should I just forget
like a bad debt
what i'm trying to clutch
feelings that senses cant touch

What should I do
I wish I knew
No crystal ball
To tell me all

Let the church bells toll
Let the die roll
With sixth sense to guide me
Hope I wont be falling free!

I believe in...

I believe in..
Choosing to be silent
Instead of finding a vent
Few care for your anger
For the rest - put it on a hanger

I believe in..
Struggling with my fear
Things go into reverse gear
Few care for that feeling
For the rest - put a cieling

I believe in..
Fighting out a quiet battle
The head may rattle
Few care for your absence
For the rest - put a fence

Nobody I Know

While returning to home today; I met someone. Someone from school days, but not exactly a school mate. He was the only one standing there. I was the only one walking as well. He looked very different and I have grown up too since I last saw him as a school going kid. Even after seeing him after more than a decade it only took a fraction of a second to recognize him. And the same happened for him as well, when he saw me. If you look into someone's eyes you realize nothing has changed, though years would have gone by. As I approached where he stood, I did not know what to do. I was confused. I was happy to see him. And I was sad to see him at the same time.

He was a rickshaw puller. He used to ferry me at times to and fro to the bus stop. All his life he has been pulling a rickshaw and still does that. At the same place. Old, White hair, a little wasted. I decided not to take the rikshaw; I walked down to home out of respect for his age. Wanted to give him some money but that would be disrespect. So I stopped for a while and talked to him. His old age hadnt affected his memory one bit; he even remembered my name. Then I continued walking towards home.

I dont know what to call what I feel about it.

Do you have a word for it?

Point Blank

Sometimes you dont know what you are feeling anymore coz you are numb. What is the point when you think its pointless. Is it the time you feel let down? Is it the time when you give up on yourself? or give up on someone else? Is it the time you feel like not reacting? Is it the time when you become indifferent?

I feel when you feel nothing, thats when there is no point. When you are no longer surprised at what is happening, but left with a few bursts of emotions and tears here and there, just at the way it's happening. When you don't want to get back but sit back. Watch how far and how low it's gonna go. How much farther the wheel will drag before you see it wobble. It's the time you withdraw and surrender, be a silent spectator knowing something is slipping and you cant do anything about it. When you don't love. When you don't hate. When you just shrug. When you care no more. Then its pointless.

Its like being in a cinema hall, when you notice for the first time how the red EXIT sign at the door is when the movie is about to end. When you wonder if it was always this red and you were too distracted by the movie to notice it. That's the point to get up and go because its pointless.

pointless-ly yours,

Keep Walking

All these years life has taught me by staring in my face. Whatever you want most, is always just two small steps away. It seems so close yet that little distance seems far. Yet, its always just at a arms distance, little ahead of you. Just a little away. You feel it's within reach, there it is, just two steps more and i'll be there, just a little push, a little stretch and i'll have it in my grasp. And by the time you finally get there or it lands in your grasp, either you no longer want it or you are not happy about reaching there or you have found something new to want which is again, just two steps away, always two steps away.

That's how you go on, that's how life goes on.

Sleepless in Seattle

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above

Know that you arent alone
The whole world shares your tears
Some for two nights or one
And some for all their years

Last Day

Access Card Submit - Check
KT and Handover - Check
Exit Interview - Check
Drawer Items Packed - Check
Data Backup - Check
Goodbye Email - Check

The only items that remain unchecked are thoughts, feelings and emotions, particularly the unhappy ones.

Pass/Fail

Now that it is official that I am leaving my workplace, a teammate walked upto me seeking details on where I was going, How did I get through, What questions I was asked at the interview. One of the many questions was - whats a Boundary Value Analysis test case? In short it tests at the edges for a pass or a fail. That makes me think, which is my favortite passtime in the world.

Two working days lie between me making the jump from A to B, literally a case of just crossing the road. As I move closer to the point and time where I have to make that transition and cross over I cant help but go over it a thousand times in my head.

How funny it is, a boundary, a fence, a seam can really put not just things but people to test too. Boundaries can make you farther or closer. Fences can fence you in or out. Seams either hold you together or pull you apart. You fail or you pass. But you would not be spared from the test!

Fate

When I was three, I was care free
When I was five, I mimicked how dad would drive
When I was eight, I learnt to skate
When I was eleven, I thought school was heaven
When I was thirteen, I loved my blue denim jean
When I was sixteen, I hated routine
When I was eighteen, I saw the first PVR screen
When I was twenty-one, I deeply loved someone
When I was tewnty-four, I fell flat on the floor
When I was twenty-six, I became a skeptic
Today I am twenty-eight, I am looking to novate
At twenty-eight, I speculate and contemplate
Is this what is fate?

Toys 'R' Us

Before the movie:
Me: I wanna see toy story 3...
P: Grow up! Thats for 5 year old kids!!!

At the movie:
P: ye kaisi movie le aai ho...dekho saare chote bacche hain
Me: to kya hua!

After the movie:
Me(thinking): Just because its animation doesnt mean its for kids. It is totally for adults. Its NOT just about toys. Its about life.

Did I like it? A lot! I laughed, chuckled, smiled all along the movie. No complexities. Simple and non tricky emotions. The movie tugs at your heart strings.

Sunnyside has nothing sunny and bright about it. Lotso turning bitter on being left behind, and dwelling on feelings of abandonment. Woody with his loyalty not giving up on his owner. Buzz feeling rejected and unwanted when he is out into trash. The sense of belongingness the toys had. Andy moving onto college, leaving prized possessions behind, letting go of his toys, giving away things he held so dear and close.

Isnt this what life is all about? Who says movies are far from real life. Just replace these toys characters with yourself or someone you know, toy story would seem like a familiar story - maybe mine or yours. You would definitely find yourself in those shoes.

This one nails the truth about life. The toys seemed larger than just animation. They reflected real people going through everything from growing up, growing apart, friendships, loyalty, sadness, letting go, giving away and heart break. It makes you go nostalgic and ponderous. The bitter sweet ending made my eyes well up. I guess a tear or two did trickle down. But such is the beauty of the movie, just like life. You cry some, you laugh some.

Toyish'ly yours

Crossing the road

I dislike change. And I hate it with a passion, but as they say, the only constant is change. So this week, I turned in my resignation, telling my boss that I no longer intend to work with them. Shock and Awe!

Thinking of new unknown and leaving the familiar behind, my stomach has been in a knot, I get clammy hands and feet from the anticipation of my leaving the comfortable set up I have been accustomed to for the last three years, but at the same time, I am happy about what you would conceive as a wise decision in this newly booming economy. Yet, afraid and anxious as I am, I'm also kinda sure that I will be okay.

Have been talking to myself, thinking over how this change could bring about other changes as well, and how I deal with them. I do not mean that I even knew how to articulate my anxiety, my state of uncertainty and inner turmoil. All I know is that part of me does not want to move but at the same time feelings of stagnancy prevail. The only thing I was certain of, is whatever road I will take, its not going to be easy. The decision to change is made - my last day with my present job is until the end of this month.

Counting my days now. Dont know what the day countdown is for - leaving the old or embracing the new!

28 on 24

Someone once said, 'Growing old is not an option, Growing up is'. I turned 28 today. Figuratively,I feel grown up from what life has taught me the hard way and literally I have grown in size as well :( I have grown old inevitably by an year. Have a few strands of grey hair here and there. I'l take it as a sign of wisdom i.e. understanding of myself.

There's this little person inside me -
Who thinks that she is lucky to have great friends.
Who cries a lot.
Who lives without care.
Who is forever in her day dreams.
Who laughs at every funny and non funny thing
Who surprises herself by following the heart totally
Who loves malls and janpath equally.
Who thinks and analyses a lot.
Who is indecisive and finicky.
Who is wanting affirmation.
Who trusts people easily.

And then there is this sometimes crazy person inside me

Who is scared of being lonely.
Who falls in love several times with a song, a color, a bag.
Who doesnt find time to put nail paint but finds time to blog.
Who is mushy and moody. Mostly cynical.Sometimes whimsical. Majorly stupid.
Who is overly sensitive and totally protective about self.
Who loves to make plan A, plan B, plan C, plan D and so on.
Who is quite intense but then again doesnt show it outwardly.
Who is dying to get out of the shell but feels trapped.
Who is let down by people so many times.

Every second - I am learning to understand this person. Im reaching there, little by little. Year after year.

You can stand under my umbrella

Let me share a secret.
I've carried it in my heart for a long time now. I'm scared to say this. Even more scared to think about it. I confessed to a few very friends of mine that I thought I needed to get away for a weekend, go to the mountains or sit by a beach, far from the maddening crowd and contemplate. Now believe me, trying to find a mountain or a beach when you live in a concrete jungle like delhi is far from easy.

Im more insecure and pessimistic than ever at this point of life. My craving for a constancy, stability and security in life is at its peak. Friends and family seem inadequate. Yes, I am seeking somethng more. I am missing 'An Umbrella'. An umbrella that will keep me dry when its raining on my head, and stand up to the wind when it shakes me, and save me from the harsh sun when its blazing. An umbrella I can cling to when I feel lonely. Something like "I have your back and you got mine"

Right now my best option is to not make a habit of getting soaked and letting the downpour get the better of me. And that - I will not have. Not yet. Not on others terms anyways.

Some Place Else

I've learnt that life has a way for making sure that even though you think you've gotten lost , you are somehow in the place that needs you the most. It sometimes makes me wonder, had I made different choices whenever I did, Would I still be the same person or in the same place.

What if I hadnt gone to the same school?
What if I hadnt studied computer science instead of the BDS thing after Class 12?
What if I had taken up the Infy job that I got as a fresher?
What if I hadnt left my first job?
What if I hadnt joined my current work place?
What if I hadnt met some people in my life?
What if I hadnt been born in this family?

After all this thinking for so long I feel, the choices we make in life are pointless and immaterial, we will still reach the inevitable and predestined.

Its like swimming in a river. No matter what stroke you decide to swim by, there is a bigger force in the picture, the water current that would take you in its own direction.

Keep rowing your boat! Thats all you can do!

Shit Happens

Every once in a while, I have days when I just dont want to talk to anyone but myself.And when I find myself in that mode - all I want to do is pull the sheets back over my head and drift away to someplace where no one knows me.

Today was one such day. Thank god it has ended. Tommorrow will be a new day a new beginning.

Fill me up, buttercup

I think I am down with a mild case of brain network congestion. The brain version, I mean. I don’t think that means anything actually. I think I know. It could mean that my thoughts are off balance and totally mixed up. Thoughts right now have lost their equilibrium.

Life is strangely coming together and falling apart at the same time in ways that I didn’t anticipate. I cannot begin to describe where my life is at right now because I have no idea where it is or where its going. Someone once said, If you dont know where you're going, any road would take you there. I guess that what I am doing. Walking on a some road to nowhere to stand still.Totally surrounded by unknown more than ever. I find that it is easy and convenient to push away certain aspects of it for a bit of time. At least while I try to figure it out.

Maybe I am just too bored or have thought a lot of things that are beyond the functional capacity of my brain. The latter seems to be the case. My head today is just too full of things that equate to nothingness. Its empty yet flooded. The fact is life has filled in properly.

Hum kis gali ja rahe, apna koi thikana nahi
Armanon ki anjuman mein, besud hai apni lagan mein


Sigh!

Building Bridges

There are journeys to places, cities, countries. Then there are journeys of a different kind that involve people. They say sometimes the greatest journey is covering the distance between two people. Thats a timeless and a limitless journey. A neverending trail to set foot on. Strangers become aquaintances. Aquantainces become friends. Friends may become foes. Strangers and friends may become partners. Partners may become estranged. Transformation and Metamorphosis -All on the journey!!

At times, it takes a lifetime to really know people, and even after an eternity you still dont understand them even when they communicate through words. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough, the opposite happens, ie you finding people who understand even the unsaid from the look in the eye. Its a tightrope walk between being yourself and projecting a certain image, letting yourself loose and holding yourself back, percieving and judging others. The beauty is that the person on the otherside is just like you, walking a tightrope too, on the same journey to knowing you. You need to bare it for others to see you and for you to see them. Complexities galore.

Despite all the fallouts from it, being quite friendly and open to people, I have felt, it can take a minutely small insignificant gesture to bridge the gap between two people. A bright smile. A routine sms. A human touch. A tight hug. A funny joke. A warm kiss. A friendly hello. A catchup phone call. A small email. Thats all it may take. Isnt undertaking this journey of knowing people great for what its worth.

And as Joey would say it - How you doin ;)

Blogger's Park

It’s the battle of the heart to find just the right words with which to express itself. That obsessive and compulsive urge to find clarity of what consumes you. It’s the longing of the voice that screams inside of you that constantly fades in the noise of the world around you. Its the desire to be heard and understood.

It’s that moment in which you sit on the computer and the world around you disappears, fading into an insignificant empty nothingness and all that remains are the the dark fears that you confront, and the hopes that you find comfort in.

It's the series of words that are evocative and provocative. Clear and Descriptive. Waiting to be used. Bringing to life, the story of the thoughts.

My epiphany of the day : Just when you think you are finally ready to walk straight, life comes up with a long winded spiral staircase!

Break Even

How many times is it possible to get your heart broken?
And
How many times by the same person ?

Will cry and brood over it and come back with answers if i get any ;)

Its Complicated

Facebook is smart. Really Smart. It has the option of relationship status as 'Its complicated' for people like me. But arent all relationships complicated.

Just that some are very complicated.

There is endless talking. There is sharing. There is care. There is a physical element in some way. There is fun. There is flirtatiousness. There is possessiveness. There is lust. There is liking. There is a connect. There is bonding. There is conflict. There is fun. There is a clash of opinions. There is support. There is a disagreement. There is happiness. There is fighting too. There is sweet nothing talk. There is getting hurt too. There is a spark. And so much more.

Is something missing? There is or it wont be complicated ;) But it anyway will be complicated.

Hope I find the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle soon!

Deja Vu

I sometimes feel that the same battle has singled me out over and over again the last few years my life. Im into a similar situation so many times. And then it strikes - Deja Vu.Now the stage was different , the actors were different...but the same things were at stake, the same fears, the same problems, same feelings. And I had the realization that no matter where I went - until I learnt to defeat it, it would keep choosing me .

In life that the hardest questions are ironically the seemingly simple ones. Try answering - Who are you? What do you want?

I guess Id go round and round the same things for sometime till I am totally lost and get caught into a hole. And someone famous said, If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found.

Hide and Seek. Game on, Life!

Inside Out

As each day passes by, the more I believe very little is needed to make life happy. On most days while going to work Im sleepy, tired and in a crabby mood. The feeling intensifies as I near the office, so does the traffic. Hoards of cars with tired expressionless faces crawling inch by inch as if its a sign telling me not to go to work. We see what is inside of us.

And today yet again the randomness of life makes an appearance. The ipod was playing John Mayer - Half of my heart, as I was just looking outside the cab window, not conciously though. Was smiling to myself as I swayed my head from side to side enjoying the beats of the song. I was in a happy state.

On my left a guy in his car was also happily moving his head/neck back and forth pigeon like and hitting his fingers on steering wheel enjoying the music while waiting for the traffic to move. Il say again, We see what is inside of us.

Randomly he looks to the right. Eyes meet Eyes. Smile Meets Smile. Heads moving in rhythm. Traffic moves. Our cab drives off so does he with his car. My James Blunt Moment! "And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end." And so I put it here, in an attempt to freeze it.

Nice to meet you, Stranger! :) Hope you had a nice day!

To whom it may concern

Starting today, all your crap will not be absorbed like a sponge or retaliated with anger or explained logically. I will simply choose to ignore now onwards. Going on 30, you need to learn few things now. For close to 1/5th of that I have known you and shouted hoarse to tell you the same things, you have never learnt. Now you need to learn your lesson the hard way from my silence now. Probably that will work and I hope it works.

Learn to keep your ego aside. You know it costs dearly.
Learn to say sorry.
Learn to control your angry rampage.
Learn to be sensitive to people around you.
Learn to be patient and calm.
Learn to control your extravagance with words and money.
Learn to have faith in yourself.
AND learn to yawn if you are sleepy :P

If you promise to do the above, I promise to hook you up with a nice girl!

My Name is Khan(t)!!

Hence proved!! SRK cant act anymore. Do not, Do not watch this movie!! Horrible! Absolute Drag! Desperate attempt by Karan Johar to move you emotionally. Kajol-SRK magic comes and goes with a flicker of the eye. Intolerably long! Unnecessarily hyped! Pathetic mixed up storyline! Save your time and money by not watching this one.

My Rating: 5 stars in black and that too bold!!

SRK better luck next time! And Amit, you will not be forgiven for making all of us go through this torture :P

10 things to say...

Situation:
With friends, Late evening, sitting and eating at a nice dimly lit restaurant in connaught place.A noisy bunch of people sat behind us and they obviously wanted to make something nice out of a friday evening just like us. Meanwhile, A girl walked upto K and compliments him for his smile and added that she had been noticing him for some time. Our otherwise streetsmart K could not think of anything to say, scratched his bushy stubble and replies with attitude - Huh! You are playing truth and dare! (Duh!! I know what a dumb and boring thing to say.)

Here's atleast 10 things what K could have said for a witty repartee to make it even more fun moment -

1) Is this a contest? Do I get a kiss for a prize? ;)
2) Thanks. But thats what you said last time too. :P
3) Sorry, Im gay. I was smiling at the guy with you. :P
4) Then how about a date? ;)
5) You want my dentist's num or mine? :D
6) You too. But sad that you're wearing much more than your smile. ;)
7) I have other nice things too. Wanna see? ;) ;)
8) Give me three good reasons for me to believe that! 8)
9) Im offended. How dare you say that! I have 'THE' nicest smile on earth. :x
10)Can you say that to my friend whose sitting next to me. He is really depressed. :P

But then they say, when women roll on, men stumble upon! SO K could not come up with a smart line. So next time you find yourself in K's shoes, you know what to say!!

Return on Investment

Hats off to Prof. Eshwar who could relate any MBA funda to life and tried to teach us the same in the operations management classes. I found my analogy for operations management in life from one of the financial world's most important formula.

Its impossible to rationalise feelings and quantify relationship value. However I do feel the ROI (Return on Investment) can really give us a fair unbiased qualitative analysis.

ROI ∝ E1 x E2 x E3

E1 = Emotion; E2 = Esteem; E3 = Energy

It takes time to break even, however in the long run, the ROI should rather be positive. If any one of the E'd take a beating and goes negative, ROI will go down and then its not a project worth investing into. Time ofcourse is irrelevant here.

Some Hypothesis that is! But true if you spare a thought and analyse it.

Food for thought, aint it?

Cruise Control

Sometimes, I wish I had a cruise control mechanism fitted within me. Been going full throttle without looking and thinking. Living life in the fast lane is tempting and whats tempting makes you vulnerable; vulnerability exposes you to risks and threats; And they aren't easy to manoeuvre at a high speed. And then Bammmm!! Before you know it, you have already rammed into something. And whats worse is, you wont even know what it can do to you.

Ek lamhe mein simat aaya hai sadiyon ka safar
zindagi tez, bahut tez chali ho jaise


Slow down, I tell myself. It’s not enough to just slow down — one needs to actually be mindful of whatever one is doing at the moment. That only comes from knowing whats around us, and only possible when you take a pause to see whats surrounding us. And then you know whats coming your way and then bump into it ;) You'l know whether to stretch your arms to embrace it or fold them to block it.

Save your steam and fuel, drive along its a long winding road ahead! Bring on the cruise control!!

Full Circle

Life has a funny way of coming back from behind and biting you hard. But Im not losing my sleep over that. Its time to face the truth. Whatever you do, you have to pay your dues to life. At this point cannot agree more with Justin Timberlake singing what goes around comes around.

Someday you are the statue; someday you are the pigeon. And there is no escaping that.

Ab mujhe Koi

The latest love of my life is this song from Isqiya sung by Rekha Bhardwaj. Beautiful. Melodious. Heart Wrenching. Simple. Addictive. Soulful. Soft. Deep. Soothing.

Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Wo jo behte the aabshaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Wo jo behte the aabshar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan

Aankh ke ek gaon mein, raat ko khwaab aate the
Aankh ke ek gaon mein, raat ko khwaab aate the
Chhoone se behte the, bole to kehte the
Udte khwaabon ka aitbaar kahan
Udte khwaabon ka aitbaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan

Jin dino aap the, aankh mein dhoop thi
Jin dino aap rehte the, aankh mein dhoop rehti thi
Ab to jaale hi jaale hain, ve bhi jaane wale hain
Woh jo tha dard ka qaraar kahan
Woh jo tha dard ka qaraar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan
Woh jo behte the abshaar kahan
Ab mujhe koi intezaar kahan


Aabshar = Tears/Water

Listen to it and tell me if you liked it.

2010 : POA

Naa..thats not another movie..or maybe it will be. The plan of action I have in mind for the year is all about..

Loving more, fearing and planning less;
Life isnt a game of chess;
Less of crying, more of laughter;
Dont think whats gonna happen after;
Learn to swim, paint a lot;
Remember what previous years taught;
Eat,Dance,Work and Be yourself;
Read and stock more books on the shelf;
Think but forget the worry;
Want a dog, cute and furry;
Make more friends, travel some more;
Lets see what this year has in store;
Bury the past, start afresh;
Fight for your pound of flesh;
Be more human and giving;
Live, not just make a living;
Plant your feet firmly on the ground;
Look high upwards to the skies around;
Welcome everything with open hands;
Dont watch life from the side stands;
See ahead not the rear;
Simple things for this year;

Amen!
