Buh-bye 2009!!!

Here we are, at the end of another year..an year which gave and took so much..another year added to the archives of life...

I didn’t much like 2009. It was a sort of a horrible year for me altogether. The first half not so much, but from August..Oh Dear God!!!!

The book of losses have been quite heavy for me from August. I lost one of my best friends ever, a teacher, an uncle, 3 other relatives...all in the timespan of 6 months. Basically I haven’t had one scrap of good news from back home since I came to London. My aunt got diagnosed with cancer,my mom’s uncle got alzheimers,there are major ISSUES about various other STUFF in the family etcetera etcetera. For the first time ever in my life I was seriosly pissed off at God for putting me through all this. Till now, I was superbly happy with my life and was sort of THE OPTIMIST,who believed that whatever goes wrong will come right in the end. But that belief has been broken too many times now to be mended ever again. I haven’t still forgiven him,rather I’ve made a pact sort of, if he rectifies something,I will probably forgive him. And of lately I get this weird feeling that he’s actually trying hard to make it up to me.Hhmm...let’s see...

On the other hand, I graduated from college, Came over to London for my postgrads, met a lot of wonderful people,saw a lot of places, had a lot of fun.

So altogether this is one year I am too happy to see the back of.

Goodbye 2009, and I hope we never meet again.

P S: I now it sort of sounds like a lot of rushed rubbish, but I so wanted to write this, but I started to feel restless once I started so I just ranted on and on. Sorry...u so don’t have to read this ;)

In Memoriam-M-Part 1

I wanna write about this friend of mine,whom I shall refer to as M, whom I've lost forever,who,as I know,is never ever coming back....

I met M in Mumbai, some 4 years ago,for the first time. I'd gone for a friend's wedding (rather my cousin's friend's wedding). I didn't like this guy at all. He reminded me too much of one of my best friends' brother whom I detested,snobbish and controlling and all that. Then a few months later,he added me on some messenger. We got talking and all that..I found him quite different from what I thought he was at first.

It was a process that happened over time..we became really really really good friends...He was much older than me,so that respect factor was always there. He was my "person" ,an almighty,omnipresent sort of figure in my life. A friend whom I could call upon at any time,any day with any bloody problem at all...He was a great counselor to me..ready with solutions to all my trivial problems,offering me advice,consolation..as the situation required.
