I woke up looking through the window at our garden, the lush green interspersed the mist. The chill reminded me of the warmth we enjoyed the previous night surrounding a bonfire of dense mahogany. On the previous eve, we had a choice to hang out in the humdrum of noise and smoke or enjoy the cool breeze and warmth. We chose the latter.
A whole new year stared at me in my face. My mind was buzzing with the many things that needed to be done in the days to come. Complete furnishing the apartment, plant trees on the plot, etc. The planner in me in the past year has made me wonder if it is any use planning everything? Life has a way of teaching you that there is no use planning and somethings will take their own course and time to get done or not done.
My mind wandered and chanced upon the favourite thought on an new years day - "resolutions!". Some practical some emotional. I made some last year - To be healthy and lead an active lifestyle. No I do not want to be size zero. Its not about size its about how healthy you are and that said, I am happy I have been in the pursuit of achieving it for most of last year and it continues.
This year, I wish to do things that will ensure that there are lesser children going hungry. This thought came up on my last trip to Mumbai, where I saw a family living under a flyover alongside a pillar - the child had no clothes, no food but had a glee on his face and was happily playing with his mates in the dirt and rubble. And whoosh...went an Audi A6 right next to him. Framed! This is what I would call a "Critique's - Kodak Moment!". Story of India's wealth distribution. Disgusting and true.
In addition, I want to be able to write more often and unclog the volcano of emotions that go off on a tangent on other radii. Expression of thought frees the mind.
More soon... Until then... Be the change you want to see!
