February of 2007

Wow!!! is my first reaction. It feels good to be back, it feels great to rediscover the “me” within me. It feels awesome to put things behind you and see the future hour glass as half full. Above all, I am less ignorant at a time when February of 2007 has arrived.

The last year had been an eventful one, with most of things going against my wishes. As one of my pals (he is PAL) put it aptly, I had become emotionally unstable. I was not going through phases, rather periods, of what can be called mood swings. The downs were clearly clear; ups were ambiguous, and me, totally confused. I could not find reasons strong enough to justify the state of minds.

It’s always darkest before dawn. And my “Today’s Fortune’ also said
Stop searching for happiness forever, it’s around you.
The “Anonymous” had also suggested that I smell sad. It was upon me to decide whether I wanted melancholy as a way of life.

I decided against it.

So what made the turnaround or a comeback? Couple of things to start with actually…. My comeback coincided with Dada’s recall. Incidentally, we both were thrown out at the same time when we were at the helm of affairs. Then I watched Dhoom and Guru. Dhoom was stylish, while Guru reinstated my faith in dreams. I could hear the whistles in the background and my feet tapping to Dhoom Machale. I could hear the “me” within me say, "bizness". So I had Abhishek dancing on Dhoom Machale in Guru. Now that sounds interesting. I was back, the creative usual self. I dreamt Monsoons.
What I mean by bizness is outside the scope and I put it for another day.

I had given my mind time to think without thinking of what comes next, my heart to beat to find its own rhythm without feeling for the many what ifs. I gave myself time. As a result it has become easier for me to plan without the fear of history getting repeated. I ain’t no great planner, but I do have a sense of timings. I now know when its time to move on. I am enjoying my work, which is good since lately I have been doing some R&D stuff, and some designing. I remember saying somewhere that to start with, I wanted to be a design engineer.

And so the plan is ready. I need to execute. I have been a fairly okay executioner, thanks to my work (just to clarify, I am talking of Cogni, and not placements) in the last semester. Oh what a sem it was, campus junta still recalls the horrors of the tormentor and his team. And lately, some of the praises have been bestowed on me by the sufferers. The PR sensitive have also chipped in. I am not very sure of the repercussions since it all depends on the present team, which is doing great. What amazes me are not the behind the veil attacks, but perhaps the callousness. I already mentioned that Titanic sank because we woke up late. Looks like, there are still some late risers.

So what’s next, hmm….. Let me have a look. I am rethinking to start going to gym, my tummy is growing by leaps and bounds. With the corporate India confidently realizing its globalization plans, (TOI really put it well; India sings a song, takes CORUS along) the time has come for the average to think global.

Thanks to Roorkee, I am above average.

I become a year older in February of 2007. I spotted my first gray hair a couple of days back. My zeal and determination become a year younger. February also brings my darling a month closer to tryst with destiny. Good luck Gudiya!!!
