Looking back at 2010

Time flies by... It was as if a few days back when we welcomed 2010 bidding adieu to 2009. Now its hard to think that indeed another 365 days have been .. The year started with a holiday---the end of semester holidays. My last semester  was about to start and the 4 years long college life was about to end.

We had our last sem classes,hostel fun,fests,parties and then the exams...The first few months just ran by. I suddenly realised that I am gonna miss a huge part of what I am leaving behind.I came here with nothing but going out with a bagfull of memories. Indeed bidding adieu is painful. The hostel days,the friends,the college building ...I owe a lot to each of them.

The next few months went in tension about what to do next,to search for a good job. Again back to studies,back to books,interviews,disappointments and lots more. Even the festivals were not welcomed whole heartedly due to these things.

Ultimately bagging up a good job but alas! had to leave my hometown for a place completly unknown. I ventured into a new life different from the pasts yet my experience helped me a lot. There were many a times when I have thought of going back to my previous life but that is not possible..The new life has given me new roles and responsibilities, new challenges and again  have asked me to fight.

And the year thus ended... Another year started.. Sometimes I like to stay back alone and remember my old days,sometimes I like to live a life of solitude ..sometimes my mind says "give me rest"...but no...I have to keep on fighting,,keep on walking...no time for looking back...And I am sure one day I will have success.

Somebody once asked me "what do you want to achieve in life? u have completed ur studies,job and now family life is left..being a girl what else can u ask for?" I want to reply "When I will be 80 years old I want to look back at my life and smile saying that yes I have achieved whatever I wanted. I have lead my life on my own way.I have seen the life

A new life-- a new beginning

I am too excited to write my blog after so many days. And not a bad day to start at all. Its 1st Jan 2011. What can be better than a new year's  1st day to write about my new life?? Certainly better. My success in getting job has been posted I guess in my last blog. Now about my new Corporate life, about Chennai --- too long story it would be. Though I am a new comer still yet so much things have happened or is happening that its hard to put every bit of feelings in words. About Chennai definitely I would say a complete new environment. Born and brought up in North India, find a lil difficulty in the southern parts.Thats why the news of getting posted to chennai came as a shock to me before.

But what makes me amazing is that when I look into the scenery I find it same as my  own birth place...So I proudly say this is INDIA. No matter wherever we go whatever may be our language ,however may we dress we all share the same thought,same belief  more or less the same food habbit  etc etc.....

My job life is good. Satisfied to get into a good company, but yes I miss my college days. There is a big partition between these 2 lives and its hard to realise and get upto it. Now is the time for responsibility. I should be responsible for anything I do. So even if I dont like anyone I have to stay mum as "Friends and No friends" is the key policy here.

I have not entered the corporate culture fully but yes I am getting the heat. I know it would be tougher if I dont work on these things from now onwards but kya kare.......Somethings are hard to change.

Now I blog on my office portal also. Infact I am the blogging lead of my training batch. But yes cant write personal things on it.So.....

Now many old things also have started taking a different turn.The old relations are changed now. The long closest friends are all very far away,everyone busy with their own life and the contacts become less. Its not intentional,its just the reation to the situation. I sometimes wish I go back to my past life ---not possible I know.

But "This too shall pass"... I have to go a long way,I cant stop ..only keep walking....:)
