2011 came, saw and conquered twelve months of our lives, however it’s hard to believe how stealthily and swiftly it went by. I have achieved probably the best of my life in the past year; I began writing officially on multiple platforms. And yet there has been this gloominess taking over me. In fact, this year has not really started off well for most people I know. Some have fallen sick, some worried on various issues, and others like me who are feeling sad and depressed for no apparent reason. Or maybe, I have several little problems that are nothing when faced one at a time but magnanimous when they come together as one all at once.
Firstly, I am expecting a reply from my Boss on a very important query I had placed, and I’m waiting to be answered for about a week now. You know how it is… The Boss really takes advantage of being the Head, and sometimes gets on your nerves! I wonder if he’s even read any of my messages! Moreover, I have a friend going through a tough time and there’s nothing I can do to be of any help, which is indeed a difficult place to be in. And I was criticized for the first time ever, on my views that I wrote on a Television Serial’s webpage. Is there any reason to be made embarrassed or to be judged on one’s opinions?!
This is merely a hint of the difficulties I have been going through lately and the least of my problems. To top it all my ‘Personal All-Time Shrink’, my sister, is away! She has left town actually, and I find almost no joy in the New Year celebrations. Maybe, this is what happens when sisters are wed-locked and living in far-off places.
Why oh why?! Why am I in such an impossibly coincidental situation tied with a chain of tribulations! Maybe, I’m just over-reacting a bit here! I know all the issues I mentioned are petite and those that most individuals face on a day to day basis. Perhaps, it’s only the absence of my sister that is troubling me. It is not easy, starting of a new year without her for the first time ever. I had never thought this time of year would make me feel nostalgic to such an extent that I would lose all interest in the planning for 2012!
The only plans I’ve made are to make a Club for all those who were miserable, frowning and in their beds on the New Year’s Eve! Yes, the other dull spoilsports like me! I’m calling it the ‘Circle of Darkness’!!! Yes, you’ve guessed it right, I’ll be the Chairman… oops ‘Chairwoman’… and our goal would be to keep the dark clouds looming over us within the Club by sharing it in our secret ‘Headquarters of the Glum’, instead of going about annoying other happy souls with our so-called miseries. We’ll have a round table conference every year, obviously as the New Year approaches, when all the disturbing merriment and partying begins.
At least, that way we won’t be polluting the environment by dumping our frivolous melancholies on our ever-smiling friends, our happy-go-lucky acquaintances.
HOWS THAT FOR A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION?!
Having said that, I do know what was and always has been special this time around the year. The New Year Gifts! And I’m not talking about the ones we exchange among each other. I am overwhelmed to see the New Year presents only the lucky ones are ‘Blessed’ with, from the Heavens. 2011 while bidding goodbye and on entering our lives 2012, both gave numerous little bundles of joy to families all across the world. This time, I got to see bright smiles on many faces I know, holding their little ones with immense delight and an inexplicable aura of feelings… feelings of gratitude! The ray of which, induced happiness within me and suddenly I realized, The New Year, despite the nostalgia, is not that bad a thing! In fact, Year 2012 will always be cherished for the cheerfulness it brought to me when I was down.
