Two thousand and seven

Will you look at that – another year’s all set to get over already. I just dont get it as to how a whole year goes by so quickly when I’m still thinking of this year’s massive new year hangover that definitely gets my vote for ‘Worst Hangover of the decade – 1997:2007′ If anyone’s going to be philosophical and say things like time flies, I’m going to wallop them.

Just the other day, I met someone who was talking about getting a particular place ready for the programme on the 25th. I asked – whats happening on 25th? To which came a surprised reply – Why, Christmas of course! I forgot it was time for Christmas already. What a dunce I am.

This year has been good to me. I’ve grown more as a person and have developed a much more steady head on my shoulders. I’m no longer of the opinion that everybody has to like me and that I should be the centre of all attention. I’ve realized that good friends are always there for you and that no matter what, there’s always a good day after a bad one.

This year too, a lot of my friends either got married or found that someone special or are in the process of welcoming that little bundle of joy in their lives. I’m happy for all of them and wish everyone tremendous joy and happiness they all truly deserve. I got to go back to my roots and rebond with old friends from a happy childhood, a roller coaster of a college life and basically had a blast sharing my nonstop smatter of uninterrupted thoughts. It has all been great.

I’m sorry to see this year go. You know how you get so attached to calling a year by its name – I dont think I can every bring myself to actually call it 2008. Another reason is that I dont actually want to grow older. Its strange how everyone thinks how grown up you are except you yourself. So here’s to the closing of 2007. May we all have a great next year. Also may we all wake up intact after the new year’s party this time and not suffer from that great a hang over.
