2014….yet another new
beginning….yet another fresh expedition…
I would like to start this New
Year with a small appeal…
God grant me the
serenity to
Accept the things I
cannot change.
The courage to change
the things I can.
And the wisdom to know
the difference.
-Reinhold
Niebuhr
I am not somebody who stalwartly
believes in making the resolutions at the commencement of each year. It’s not
that I never practiced so…Of course, I did! However, I soon recognized that
most resolutions meet a disastrous finale….some gets just overlooked over the
period while some just gets out of the memory lane and the lingering ones are
just given a clean miss over other urgencies… In all conscience, I have
experienced all of the above and hence I do not make any resolutions and take
life the way it’s thrown upon me.
We had a fabulous Christmas
vacation with my Mom joining in from Goa. Kids were exhilarated to be with
their Aaji and so did she. Those 10 days were truly remarkable as both of them
could spend some quality time together. Well, as far as I am concerned, I have outdone
the age of being ecstatic at my Mom’s arrival. It’s not that I don’t like her
being around…I certainly do. However, I like to find pleasure in doing things
which at times she doesn’t favour. And the real awkwardness is born when she
finds it tough to express it. My relations with her now are more like soul
mates than mother-daughter. We discuss the entire world under this moon may it
be from her job to my maids to what-she-should-be-wearing-for-a-function….And I
love it that way. Well, I love her and I
wish her a very healthy and happy life.
Now that the schools have
resumed, I am back to the grind….and so are the kids. I am hoping that 2014 will motivate me harder
to keep up to writing and updating my blog in addition to my other assignments.
Have a wonderful 2014!
