It is a funny feeling. The closer I am getting to my birthday, there are many mixed feelings in my mind. This week is going to be a big challenge for me - just to come to terms with the fact that I will move out of the 20's very soon. After coming to IE, time - it seems- is the most sought after commodity. (was discussing the possibility of trading sleep credits) Now its just one week to go and its a time to look back into the year. Its been a lot of fun and a year of great learning.
Starting the year in Henery Tham's with my friends, then wished by global CHYK's on a 7 way conference call singing Janma Dina Midam (thanks!). On the personal front I had a lot to learn. Practicality takes over everything. Maya is after all Maya (illusion). I have learned to distinguish Maya from the real to an extent now. Maturity is this only - what experiences have taught me. I am glad that I am able to enjoy all these experiences (more good than bad). The degree of faith has increased many fold. Thanks to the tough decisions that I had to make, I am happy the way I dealt with them. At IE, the introspection phase has been fantastic. Performance has to match potential. No more procrastination. Fantastic!
Work wise it was the best year of my life. Met such wonderful people and made strong ties. Wish I could give more time to the ideas which are now seeing the light of the day. When your idea is also executed by you, you give your full passion and energies to it.
Spiritually also it has been the best year of my life. Guruvayoor, CIF, Kailash Manasarovar, Sidhbari, Ganesha - all have been the guiding forces for me. Blessed I am that I could visit all these places and be enlightened by the forces of love and happiness. Insignificant is what one tends to feel here, but then when you a part of that - how can you feel insignificant in front of yourself. Elevate yourself. Realise this and all is bliss. Faith has moved many mountains for me - some very visible, some invisible. All is for my good and thats what I am sure of.
Will I like to change anything in the past year - NO. I want to just cherish the experience and learn from my mistakes to evolve. Happiness is after all what I am seeking, but again how stupid I am to seek something that I already am?
I have also learned the demand and supply curve of hugs. When supply is abundant - the demand seems not to care. What is forgotten is that because its given in abundance, there never is a need to ask for more. Guess will have to think of hug credits too!
Enjoy this week, great things have happened to you. Its not by chance that you spending your birthday in Madrid this year. Make it memorable. This year is going to be one kick ass year, both professionally and personally. Success is inevitable now. Open your mind to it, be receptive, be positive and make it happen. GO GET IT.
