it's my birthday again.

The first post, first working day of the New Year and my B’day. There were times when I thought my life was coloured through and through with the colour of waiting. How wrong I was! A year, a war, a natural disater has gone as I blinked.
This day, I take it as a celebration of my life. Have been receiving calls and wishes and I often forget that I am ageing :-)

The past year has been very eventful for me. There were so many ‘first times’. Professionally, I have taken up many new responsibilities. It’s true that you become responsible with responsibilities. Personally, met many interesting people and friends, some who would be friends for life.

A budding relationship was nipped in the bud without even the luxury of a goodbye. Gave me questions galore but I take it in my stride for it was also an entity to the events of the interesting year. I have learnt never to take anybody for granted cos nobody comes for granted.

Intuition tells me that J would be married by this time next year or this year itself. Someday, I would be blogging without mentioning what I did with my best friend. Hope she finds someone ready to bay the moon for her.

I will keep learning and growing. Will try to keep my blog as lively as possible, at times a little cantankerous, as I would exercise my liberty of ranting in the free space on the net.

Let me see now, life from the other side of twenty. Hope I won’t start lying about my age:-)

No complaints so far. Life, treat me well!

Don't mean to depress u on ur b'day but this is what I was suddenly reminded of,

"And the night has just begun,
Another dawn is yet to come,
Carry on my little one,
girl from lebanon." --Europe

Keep glowing for there are thousands who wait :)
