Goodbye 2005.....Welcome 2006

In 2005 we had...

terrorrists who had many a blast...in India, Iraq, UK...and many other places...

a defiant US, who reciprocated blast by blast...

Saddam captured as a rat in a hole...

And Osama still at large...

Big B ruling India's heart...

And metro winning Delhi's heart....

sensex crashing down...and then proving itself as a phoenix...

abu salem in the dock...and dawood still a free bird...

men acting more and more as scavengers of females...

and some men also acting as saviours...

women of tomorrow making their mark...and women of yesterday forcing theirs...

one katrina winning hearts in India...

while the other ravaging US...

Mumbai showing its infallible spirit....inspite of being soaked....

and politics being proved as the dirty mudhole everyone knew it was..

schumaker finally losing off to Alonso...

and Narain speeding away to glory...

as Sania served a delight...while Anand happliy moved a knight....

And as always, Calvin says:





a year that came with many promises...that it passes on to the next one....

wishes, aspirations, dreams, desires....

hopes, feelings & resolutions...

for a better life...for a better world...

tomorrow...and the day after.


May God bless all of you..and may all your wishes come true.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS.....HAVE A GREAT TIME.

And remember...in 2006..

1. Plant a tree.
2. Walk if can...dont burn fuel.
3. Dont litter.
4. Spread love, peace n smiles, not war.
5. Fight injustice.
6. Keep reading coherent rambling :-)

ciao.

P.S: On a sombre note...2005 began with a heartbreak...and ends with another one for me....Hope 2006 will be better :-)

Deja Vu - 1

Date : 22-August
Year : Unknown
Time : Unknown

Soltitude, something that you always need, rarely have. But when you begin having it & enjoying it, it takes the party out of your life. If you prefer to be left alone for some time, everyone prefers to leave you alone for all the time. Something I really don't understand. After all, everyone must be left alone for some time. But then I mustn't generalize this, no. Not everyone will let you have peace un your soltitude. And not everyone will be disrespectful of the fact that you need some time alone. To talk to yourself, and by this I do not mean standing in front of the mirror & watching your reflection cut you down to suze. What I mean is introspection, something that more has to do with you giving a first person account of yourself. Introspection is tough, because most of the time we think about us in a very relative fashion, relative to what others think of us, how does the society behave when we enter it.

Knowing one self is difficult, but when you know yourself, you know all that you need to know. In other words, you get closer to perfection. But don;t aim to become perfect, neither can you.Because that defies the very basis of our existence on this planet, that is to do something even the almighty cannot do : Making mistakes!

P.S: Deja Vu is a collection of some of my ramblings from college days, word-to-word. Hope I sound sane :-)

ciao
