New beginnings




It is late at night as I write this post. I am past two cups of coffee after tossing and struggling endlessly to get some sleep. The quiet breeze, aroma of flowers from the potted plants and random, fleeting music of rustling of leaves from the garden keep me company. A distant sound of a plane flying high is very comforting noise; a raucous sound that strangely holds its own rhythm and breaks the silence and stillness of my house that has comfortably slipped into quiet of night.

From across the room wafts remnant of magical fragrance of Amber incense that has long been burnt. I see the calendar next to it and realize, the year is coming to end. The world seems to be going bonkers as if in hurry to be done with last few days, eagerly awaiting the fresh start. It may sound bizarre but I like the way this sense of anticipation fills our hearts with hope!

2018 has passed in a jiffy and as it hurtles to close, I look back and realize this year has been truly amazing and I feel immensely blessed and grateful. The best thing to happen for me was joining post graduate P.G. Diploma course in Indian Aesthetics that has opened up new vistas of learning for me. 

It was a year of potpourri of experiences; fulfilled dreams, achievements, great learning, contentment, pursuit of my passions, forming deeper bonds, creating beautiful memories, friendships, soulful conversations, some travel, frayed nerves, unspoken aspirations, dormant desires, things to do list; part of which still remains incomplete and so many other things that made me whiz around in zillion directions with its cadence. No,I am not complaining as I have learnt great deal about myself and have become more accepting of my limitations and vulnerabilities and life in general.  

The midyear saw me undergo a surgery that left me almost inactive for few months. Some health issues still continue to threaten to take wind out of my sails but the midyear sulk months almost seem a good distance away now. And as I write this post, I am in happy space, all charged up to welcome what 2019 has in store for me. 


I have been in stupor of sorts for past few months, enchanted by life and the road it took me on. But contrary to what is evident on this blog, I have been writing regularly and intend to share all that and more on this blog henceforth.    

Here is wishing you all a happy New Year 2019 in advance! Let the party begin! :)
