2012 - Reviewed and Revisited
It’s been a long-drawn battle with time, and I finally
won. A crappy year ends and a hopeful, new one begins. There were so many
instances in 2012 when I thought that things couldn’t get worse, and each time
I was proven wrong. I have laughed, cried, fought, been cheated, cheated
myself, been lied to, lied myself and finally, searched for the eternal peace
which has seemed just barely out of reach for so long. The past year has had
occasions of absolute bliss and considerable misery for me, and I will very
glad to end this year on a good note, with friends, lovely strangers and a lot
of well-earned chocolates.
2012 began for me on a fairly good note, with a job offer
at a promising firm. Just a couple of months down the line, I realized my
mistake and it was too late to rectify it. The company turned out to be a
nightmarish hell-hole managed by lesser mortals and run by an insect. After
being sucked dry, my will to go forth and survive took over and I quit the garage.
Things got really interesting after that, and I decided to go for my MBA in Germany.
On the personal front, things couldn’t get stranger than
they did in 2011. I had a lot of illusions shattered this year when the man who
claimed was in love with me turned out to be nothing more than that – an
illusion. I made a few bad decisions. I realized that money plays a vital role
in deciding how long you can love someone. So, on a fateful day this year, I
lost someone very close to me and made me wonder if he ever was capable of
loving someone.
Just when I thought I’d give up hope on 2012 being a good
year, I rediscovered what it was to fall in love with someone totally
unexpected. A fresh feeling of puppy love, evolving into lust and desire and at
this point of time, to a steady state of mutual understanding, trust and faith,
made me a believer again. Here’s a warm bear hug to the one I’m in love.
If I were to send one message to 2012 and all its
incidents and people, all it’s merry and misery, it would be this: Good riddance
to bad rubbish. I can’t wait to enter the New Year. I’m ever the optimist,
cautiously pessimistic and according to my friends, annoyingly pragmatic.
I also had
some social life which improvised the levels of insanity year by year in me. This
time, those insane trends fuelled up my craziness.
Excessive
9gagging: Over the past year, 9gag has become a trend statement of sorts with
all kinds of memes being made popular by a very large percentage of the world’s
population. Being a 9gagger has become a matter of pride for some and a matter
of principle for others. Excessive 9gagging has shown to result in involuntary
drooling, day dreaming during work. I
think Pinterest is also one of such kinds of different league.
Facebook Marriages: More and more people are getting
‘married’ on Facebook these days. In 2012, there were 119 recorded marriages on
the social networking site in my list. If you like someone very much and want to get married to
that person but can’t afford a wedding, then the trend smith recommends a
Facebook marriage – change your relationship status to ‘Married’ and indicate
the person you want to marry. Once that other person (hopefully your better
half) has reciprocated this action, your statuses will be updated for the whole
world to see. Am damn serious, this actually happened… well…honestly with me
only.Now that it is a trend, hunt is easier on FB than on Matrimony sites.
The Flash Mob Phenomenon:The mob has many heads but no
brains. Or so they say. The last four months of 2012 saw an exponential rise in
the number of randomly arranged flash mobs in India, US, UK and Australia. Most
of the flash mobs were centred on people dancing to or singing a popular
trending song. There are all the indicators that the Flash Mob
culture will rise strongly and will involve people from all walks of life to
behave like idiots for a few minutes.
Status Messages: There was an astronomical increase in
the number of people searching for the phrase ‘best status messages’ on Google.
It’s probably the influx of innumerable brain alternatives that people these
days are not able to think smartly for themselves. Sadly, some of the best
status messages on IMs and social networking sites are re-hashed nonsense.
Well time to get something original and something new .

Bye 2011
It came and it went, and now it's a brand new year. Not sure how I'm feeling today, so feel rather emotionless I guess I could say. Not depressed nor excited just a blah non-feeling state. It was an insane year globally and it was a trying time personally. Back with recharged batteries to bring on the life with a bang. Seriously it was good riddance to 2011 and hello to 2012. I wouldn't have made it through without friends — old and new and of course family. If I’ve learned nothing else from the past 12 months it’s that the tough times are easiest surrounded by loved ones. And a note that always rang my head …
“When you really want something, sometimes you have to swim a little deeper…
You just can’t give up because things don’t come easy..
You have to come over the obstacles and face your fears..
But at the end, it’s worth a while
Life is all ups and down,
But if you believe in yourself
You will always come through it with flying colors…
Value the emotion ..
Believe in yourself !”
Alright .. now enough of that gyan ..HAPPY NEW YEAR guys ! Bring it on with a bash..
