It is certainly not one more new year as far as i am concerned,It is a new year, worth the word "NEW" in many ways.Exactly an year back when the new year ushered in, i was feeling lost, confused and was in serach of something with out knowing what it is.It is perhaps the burden of 2009 which possibly clouded the thoughts and memories of 2010.
But with the clock ticking towards the dawn of another new year(Hardly 32 hours to go) i feel that the New year is going to be one which will fulfill many of my dreams and ambitions.At this point of time i also feel that the worries and anxieties which haunted me at the beginning of the year were more of my own imagination rather than reality.
First let me have a look at the most important events which had an impact (PAIN OR PLEASURE OR BOTH)on me during 2010.(ON A PERSONAL LEVEL)
1.My daughter's transparent mail to me in the beginning of the year(It appeared as if i was expecting the same and hence i took it with out batting an eye lid.)
2.My brother's demise which shocked me beyond words and infact made me to feel guilty and depressed for almost a few months .(One of extreme pain)
3.My son's astounding achievement in completion and submission of his thesis in record time by any standards(Oone of complete satisfaction and happiness)
Next comes the events in official atmosphere :
1.My elevation to the highercadre in my official capacity(possibly the last one before my retirement) which became effective in February 2010 , though the promotion list was released an year back.(The long waiting period has really taken away the charm and hence i was highly balnced-Neither pain nor happiness)
2.Successful completion of the 9th ANNUAL REPORT(with possibly one more annual report awaiting my dedication and focus) of my organisation amidst various time and management pressures/expectations.(It gave a mixed feeling of joy and sorrow, joy emanating on completion of the task and the sorrow , due to the results not being in tune with expectations).
3.My successful efforts in getting promptions to all most all those who were working under me and satisfaction derived in forming the second line who can take over any time when i am destined to leave,(This gave me unadulterated peace and happiness).
And then follows the events of a general nature:
1.The scandals at the state and national level all at the cost of innoscent common man pained me beyond words.The fact that the perpetrators did not have the decency to aplologise for their misdeeds make me wonder as to whether we deserve democracy at all?
2.The votes being auctioned for a price and the public also becoming a prey to the
vily intent of the dirty politicians again disturbed me a lot.
3.Some movies with a very good sense of purpose and with high technological excellence, some of the coveted feats in the world of sports(though COmmon welath games may not be equated to Olympics)gave a sense of satisfaction to some extent.
Over the entire period of one year my Religious fervour and my belief in the supreme being went up higher and higer with each passing day, because it made me to come to an understanding with my own self, enabled me to maintain my peace of mind and also stood as testimony to some of my prayers being fulfilled within the time by which i expected the same to fructify.
SO THE NEW YEAR 2011 STARTS WITH MORE SATISFACTION AT THE PERSONAL LEVEL, A SHADE OF LESSER SATISFACTION ON AN OFFICIAL LEVEL AND WITH NIL STISFACTION AS FOR AS ISSUES RELATING TO COMMON MAN ARE CONCERNED.
LET ME HOPE, WISH AND PRAY THAT OUR JOINT PRAYERS BRING WEALTH, HEALTH AND PROSPERITY TO ALL AND LET THERE BE VICTORY OF GOOD OVER EVIL IN THE NEW YEAR.
