What did you do on New Year's Eve?
Did you party hard with your friends, or freaked out at a crazy new year event in some five star Hotel, or spent a quiet evening with your loved one's, or enjoyed a long drive to the nearest resort to relax? However, you may have spent your evening it was a new morning the next day. What is really different about New year day? You wake up like everyday and it is really a continuation of your life. So, why is it that almost all of us feel differently about this one day which has no special property which can be qualitatively or quantitatively analysed.
It is all in our mind. Our mind is the center of all that is real or imaginary. You can convince yourself with all the logic and rationale that new year's day is no different from any other day yet, you feel it in your bones that it is different. It is our mind playing tricks on us.
So this year on 31st and 1st I did not open my book of accounts and take stock of my life in 2011. Not that there isn't much to take stock off. In fact, there are quite a few assets to file and liabilities to throw away. But like the lazy bones that I am I kept it for a later date.
I am no habitual procrastinator but sometimes I behave like one especially when it comes to cleaning up my life.
Every year I try and figure out a new way to look back at the year gone past, this year I thought I will list out my many realizations, some mundane and trivial, others deeply meaningful philosophical mysteries.

- Some people don't understand me. Just simply don't understand me. Nothing metaphorical about it. I talk too fast hence they miss out my words.
- I don't understand some things. Especially when I am not really listening. I laugh like Mrs. Forman of That 70's Show when I can't understand something.
- People think I want to give my opinion about whatever they are planning to do. When sometimes I really want to say, " it's your damn money, honey. do whatever you want to with it."
- I am not opinionated. I thought I was till I discovered there are some things like Cricket without Rahul Dravid or movies like Dabangg that I feel nothing for. Not even the slightest twinge of desire to comment.
- Most people believe I am impatient. Mostly because I tell them. They think I am getting bored, which they are right in deducing but bored and impatient are not related. I am positive in can also be proven scientifically. But I don't have the patience to research all that.
- I have more patience. I can actually sit through a rambling story telling of the worse kind without flinching. I think this stems from attending H.R. classes where I was the only student in the room or listening to candidates go on and on about their stupid and sad achievements in life for eg: representative of school in various prestigious school level events. I refrain from saying, "you twerp I don't want you to represent my company in any event, how about telling me whether you can convince an Eskimo to buy a freezer."
- .Everyone thinks I am the most loved person and center of attention wherever I go.
- I know everyone loves me, eventually.
- People consider me to be high maintenance and a bit of a snob. One person thinks I am fancy because I match the nail color on my fingers and toes.
- I know I have peculiar tastes, I am not so brand conscious and actually quiet dislike being gifted things I cannot afford myself. Oh probably that makes me a twisted ego maniac or not.
- Some people think I am silly, stupid, idiotic, plain dumb.
- I love being stupid and dumb, it's so much fun to see people make a fool of themselves trying to show off their intellectualism when quoting Keats, Archimedes, Newton and the lot.
I think that's about a dozen things I have come to terms with about myself and people who I do adore and love.
So here's to one more year of self discovery and making less people sad with my rudeness [so called], and more people smile with my silly antics.
And what has to be repeated all the time, every time, love you folks who make my life nothing short of a F*ing musical extravaganza ....!! <3
