Away From The Sunrise…

RTR

In the early morning of last sunday, I stepped out of my house before the sun had risen. I walked up to my bike, started it and simply drove away…

I have always wanted to do a long drive on my bike and despite having owned my bike for over an year I had only traveled in the city. I love driving in sections of the city where there were smooth roads clear of traffic, enjoying the wind and the speed. But I always missed doing that bike trip.

Thank you…

It has been over four years since I started blogging and what started as a simple way to hone my writing skill and reach out to more people easily, has become a part of my life.

For my 25th birthday I decided to look back in my life and thank all those amazing people that have touched my life making it more special for me. I sent out a few emails but no where near the number I had initially in my mind.

One of the biggest groups of friends I have had over the year has to be the readers of my blog. You guys have inspired me at the right moments, encouraged me when I need it the most, shared my thoughts, gave me strength at my weakest of moments and added to my happiness on all those special occasions… Thank you guys, thanks for everything.

During these four short years I have met so many amazing people, conversed about things that literally changed my life and reached out to people I never thought I could every speak to. Its a truly humbling thing to realize the support you have recieved, the love and encouragement, without which I probably wouldnt be the man I am right now.

I feel like this ray of light that was on his merry way without realizing that the stars and planets thousands of miles away were slowly changing my direction… Now four years later I couldnt have been here, at this moment without you wonderful people.

Thank you guys :)

52

Yesterday I completed my 25th trip around the sun :) I dont know why but turning 25 was always considered as a big event. I have watched most of my friends cross the line dreading it but for me it was something like waking up to a different sunrise…

The 25th year of my life had started on a very sorry note. I was incredibly depressed a year ago and what was more irritating was that I had no idea why. The first few months echoed that day and very soon I had almost stopped doing most of the things I loved. It was almost like I had forgotten the basics of how to be me… It took me a long time to get back on my feet and figure out things again. By the end of the year things had come a full circle. My last week doing the needed of finishing the last pieces of the puzzle that was my 25th year.

For me, the advent of a new year is something like the finish line… I make an effort to sprint across the line giving it all in the home stretch. There was a bunch of things on my todo list this last week and like the past few years I finished almost everything on that list. The list is in no way simple, it has tasks that take time and effort but what is rewarding is the thought that just these tasks on thier own make the whole year worthwhile. This year the tasks were very close to my heart. I was happy I could finish most of them in time :)

The day itself was packed. I had a pooja at home (not related to my bday) so had the company of my cousins for most of the day. In the evening I cut 3 cakes, almost did not get invited to one of the parties :P and finished the day with some very intellectual conversations about psychology and theater.

I got many calls from across the globe but wishes thru the Internet topped in numbers. Thanks for all the love folks :) its much appreciated.

All in all that was my 25th. Lets see what twists the 26th trip brings into my life.

Make that Four…

Well looks like I am getting old enough to forget dates. I forgot the only anniversary in my life right now ;)

This week marks the fourth year of me in the Blogging world. This small place on the web has connected me to countless people, some who would have probably forgotten me over time and some whom I would have never had the pleasure of interacting with, without it.

Needless to say, this page on the web holds a very special place in my heart. When ever I think about everything that writing has bought me in life, I feel nothing but gratitude.

So, here is a salute to Internet and the concept of blogging and a big thank you to my readers and online friends, the last four years have been a truly magical journey… A small toast for many more :)
