Another year gone, A fresh new year awaits.....Another Birthday passed by...

Aah, good to see my blog again. It has been quite sometime since I wrote last. Now I am back, feeling great. It has been almost a week since October 8^th, my Birthday, the day for which I have been waiting for quite sometime now. No special reasons to make me excited about the day, or anything specific I was looking forward on that day, still there was something in me which kept me waiting for the day. Perhaps it was a kid in me who, like any other kid, waits for the entire year for his Birthday, for those amazing times when he is pampered most. The day when he can invite his friends, play all those little games, can have lots of fun and can feel to be on top of the world.

The celebrations-The day started well with my near and dear ones calling and wishing me. This was followed by an amazing long midnight chat which I can never forget. I feel that was the best part of my Birthday. Amazing gifts, which I got on that day, made me feel very special. Friends, family, colleagues called me, many more people than what I had expected, thanks to Face book. A couple of friends, whose call I expected, dint called, probably they are too busy in their lives. But that’s ok. Expecting from each of them will be like expecting too much.

Entire day passed in office, thanks to the quarter closing of books. After losing the entire day at office, feeling totally lost, I along with a few others planned a small party. We did had a small get together, courtesy Ajit, JP and Rahul. We watched a hilarious movie, had great time chatting, had  yummy cake which was followed by amazing dinner at a Chinese restaurant. These were some of the things that happened special on that day and I felt great about them.

A thoughtful part of me began wondering of what lies ahead on the road of the journey called life. Teens passed and now twenties are almost over. Life is moving on so fast and I have so many things on my to-be-achieved list. Phew... How will I make them possible?  Will I ever be able to get near them?  These thoughts came striking to my mind.

  

Moving ahead with short term goals is a great way to go ahead. After putting in much of my time and energy, I realized that small goals like “things I will like to achieve before me turning 35” are the ones to be focused on. Planning for these small pieces of life will sum up my entire life. It was difficult to come up with anything concrete, but still I was able to zero in a few things. They are : --To reach base camp of Mt. Everest. To paraglide. Jumping from the edge of cliff and to fly like a bird. To travel the world. To see as many places as possible. Reach every continent, at least once. Thoughts goes on….All these might sound a bit weird, but still I want to live them once.

Still many more birthdays to come and still many more years of my life left. How many? I don’t know. I want to LIVE them all with no redemptions and no regrets. On this birthday, I promise myself to live every single moment left, to make out the fullest of the life which GOD has gifted. Life is indeed precious and it is meant to be LIVED. And I will surely make it large.
