This
year 2011 was a special for me. I grew. The daily walk of life got me matured
and stronger. I enjoyed the fullness. I was happy. Collectively speaking this
year gave me lots and lots of opportunity to be myself and to be true to the
task that I had undertaken. This year brought the smiles on my face. It also
brought rains of tears from my eyes. My emotions were not suppressed just
because someone was watching.
Thanks to all those who made this years a memorable
one. Your individuality has certainly influence my growth. I am grateful to
you. Today what I am is also a small part of you.
I was happy for many reasons and certainly sad for a
few reasons.
The first half of 2011 was spent happily in Mysore,
Karnataka. It was my final year of academic studies in Philosophy and Religion
together with the studies in Bachelor of
Arts. I experienced lots of care, lots
of love. Of course not to forget the name and fame I enjoyed in the smaller
scale. Enjoyed my studies in philosophy which furnished me with a right
methodology to think and share my
opinions on the public forums as well as in the private discussions. I too had
a best of experience attending the Psychology classes at the University of
Mysore.
The second half of my 2011 was spent in Mangalore.
Here the life was quite different from the previous. I was no more a student
rather a teacher. Here the so called responsibility was on my shoulders. I was
responsible to many thing of life. I was a teacher of different streams. Music,
English, Etiquettes were the main subject I dealt with. Though it wasn’t a bed
of roses I made myself comfortable in accomplishing my job in all possible
professional style. Every day I learnt to be a teacher. A better teacher,
learning and teaching values.
For a certain
extent I enjoyed being in my own universe. An universe where my own opinions were
end in themselves. A world of joy and fulfillment... yes if these were the
reasons that made me happy, there were also interesting moments that made me
sad. I call them interesting because there was always the hope of happiness
behind this sadness.
There was something more to life every day. Every
day I had to make a decision. A decision for a better next. I’ve no regret of
all that happened. In fact many events, incidents, happened to me (I wish to
explain this phenomenon called ‘Happening’ in near future). Love happened to
me. There were lots and lots of surprises which just came on my way without me
being prepared for them. I enjoyed all
those beautiful surprises in my innocence, like a child.
My journey continues with all these fun. Stupid
surprises every day, making my face to smile for no reason. Showers of tears that
exhibit my feminine self (it need not be necessarily feminine). Happiness at
the end of the day which gives me a hope to be prepared for a bright morning
which I haven’t seen. I hereby thank you year 2011 for all that you were for
me.
With these random musings I welcome a new year.
Again a new year of good many surprises. With my open arms I welcome… come be
mine… 2012.
