Oh what a year this last one has been. So there goes 2009 and hello 2010. On many fronts, there is probably nothing that differentiates this year from the last. We still have our ups and downs. People are pretty much the same. A few good and bad ones here and there. Bombs go off here and there, and in Pakistan, it's now front page news when there is a day when a bomb does not go off. So looking ahead, how different will things be? Who knows.
At a very personal front, 2009 was, hhhmm, well, should I say great, or just good? Definitely not a bad year. I did pretty good at work and nothing to complain about. I also take pride in the fact that I am one of the very few people who can say that I love what I do. I still have the same great set of friends and every one of them have been awesome in their own ways. I met few new people, who have also been nice so far, and we get along great. With the band, again this was an awesome year. We finally recorded few of our tracks and released it online. The cherry on the cake was the Christmas single we released.
So, I had my career, friends, band and everything else set. the next logical step to take was probably marriage for me. Maybe not everyone will agree, but that's why I said "for me". So, I did get engaged in September, to this wonderful person called Rush, about whom I did make a brief mention in some previous post. In another few days, 7 to be exact, I will be married, and there will begin a new chapter. Being married does not guarantee you a good year. Maybe a year later, in 2011, I will update you on how one year of married life has been. So, we just rented out a new place, a cute one, and now lies the challenge of buying things and setting it up. Hope to have all that done before the end of January.
Exactly a year ago, I had written a post with a bunch of resolutions for the year 2009. There were four points I mentioned. The first one, well, I have controlled a bit. I used to be sucker for Pepsi. I still am, but from having one or two bottles a day, I have now gone down to maybe a bottle every week or so on average. I also did hit the gym as planned, which was my second point. I worked out for a few months and also lost a little bit of body fat. I did feel healthier and I can say it really helped me. Well, am I still doing it? No. I stopped when the subscription ran out and did not bother to renew. Hope to get back into the habit soon.
The third point is what I have suffered with the most. Until now I did not have a good excuse to quit. Well, my health is excuse enough, but I never saw it that way. Now that I am getting married and now that someone else has a right over my body, it's only fair that I take care of it. Even if I don't nurture it, I don't want to harm it in any way. This time, lets hope I remain a quitter.
My fourth point was something I did easily, surprisingly. It was a momentary decision and just like the flick of a switch, my attitude towards those people changed and now things are fine. In fact, things are awesome. I also realized, it just wasn't worth it disliking them. So yes, now I love everybody. Oh I do bitch about people and do this and that, but I can confidently say I carry absolutely no dislike. Cheers to that.
So, no new resolutions for this years. I don't think I need any. If at all any, my only resolution would be to make make all my implementations last long term, for my own good.
