We always move forward, even it doesn't feel like it.
Even with every setback, we may feel like stepping back; it is also part of the process to move forward.
Those were the words my teacher, James highlighted during the last few coffee sessions before i headed to Mysore.
I guess, that pretty much sums up my year of 2016!
2016 hasn't been easy, but it has been smooth and fulfilling. Many things happened, and i did have to work doubly hard than i planned to, just to make this year end trip happen.
Always thankful for the good people around me who made me feel damn lucky!
I've always hear others hopping for a better next year. Or even accumulating years of resolutions, which probably remain untouched till the following year.
I used to believe in resolution, and finding myself getting a long list of " have- not- do- list'.
The more i look at it, the more i felt that I'm going to regret living a life like this.
So i stopped. I stop listing down resolution, i stop hoping a better year ahead.
I had a good year, and it cannot be better than the way it unfolded for me.
I am looking forward to having more opportunities and necessary changes in my life.
And all i ask from myself as a reminder, is to be firm with my boundaries and enjoy the process.
---- No social party in the process, i slept through, very well rested:) -----
Given a conducive environment & proper education, any kid from any birth background can excel in their life--- when they are willing to work hard for it.
And this applies to us, grown- up adults too.
Isn't it? Just that along the way, we forgotten about it & cries how life has been treating us badly.
To get a little more introspective, just few days before,
I've friends gave birth to lives & people who passed on.
Everything happened too quickly, and the whole process was too surreal.
And that we are all in the process of living and dying.
I do not wish to have another death to remind me how much we should appreciate each breath we are taking.

On the first day of 2017,
Headed to Operation Shanti for play time with the kids.
I first met them when i was 22, and now I'm 30.
Every time when i looked at the older kids, i'm amazed by how fine and well they have grown up to be. Given a conducive environment & proper education, any kid from any birth background can excel in their life--- when they are willing to work hard for it.
