Year End Musings

The merriness and mirth about a new year is pompous. There are plans made up and torn down the next instant. There are parties to attend and people to wish. Many of whom i haven't talked to in a long time. The new years always a hectic time. There are people going away on vacations and a million things to do.

A new years mean a lot of resolutions and looking back on the year that was. A solemn year for me, a few wise learnings. As I look back on the year passing me by and planning for the wait of another year ahead; I can see a certain momentous charm running through me. A wry smile over the caprices I have not planned, the many journeys I would partake and a million memories I would make. The subtle hints of nostalgia are always under the surface. Another year gone by, another year to come; is the next year going to be at least as sane as this one?

Looking beyond the yonder, this new years though is quite different for me. There are no plans made, until now that it is. I am not wishing anyone I haven't talked to in a long time. I am leaving the manners in the proverbial shit hole, no keeping appearances or making pretenses. I am in for a long haul cozy up new year. A long break is in this year for me and I am looking forward to enjoying every moment of it.
