We are already into the second month of this year.
‘Time flies, this year is already over’ is what one says at every year-end, feeling a bit sad yet we bring in the New Year with celebration … hoping what follows will be as happy as we want to feel at that time. It is almost spring everywhere … the Chinese have just celebrated this turn of season as their New Year. In Iran and elsewhere this will follow next month as Nowroz. The celebrations continue …..
For many years now, New Year ’s Eve parties have shrivelled up into quiet celebrations with family and close friends. For us this year had its beginnings in Mumbai with a very close cousin. A good meal at home with some home-made Yakhni Palao and Haleem, and for dessert fresh figs and strawberries …. ’pet puja’ is the best and the most satisfying feeling .. and to begin one’s New year with such a delightful Puja and good company is truly a wonderful feeling.
A new beginning for some and for others it’s just another day. New resolves made, some to keep and some forgotten soon. Although my resolutions keep happening throughout the year, whether followed or not is another matter …
I never thought of time as such when I was younger ... I had no Time!!!! Time is so relative, it’s how it’s spent .. Getting older makes time a more precious thing to have than it used to be when one was younger.
Enjoy every moment … because the moment is really all one has really got.
I hope this year started well for everyone, and brings happiness, good health and contentment for all. I hope there is inspiration everywhere to live life to its fullest. In the end I feel happy to be alive and still learning to accept things that I cannot change.
After a 2 month gap I hope to be back to more regular blogging, and wish everyone a happy 2011!
