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.
