2020 is here!

I have been in hibernation for quite some time and few people who read my childish blabber were asking me about the break. To them I say thank you, you are the reason I try to choose my words wisely and I am eternally grateful.

Now coming to the blabber part, I thought a decade consists of 10 years, as in 1 to 10; but I have been enlightened that that’s only mathematically and there is a controversy when it comes to calendar which is 0 to 9. So I guess that makes it another decade!
And that was my first lesson of the year, hence releasing it into the universe if at all anyone is “noob”, (that’s I hear is a millennial lingo for stupid!), like me!

When we were kids, New Year brought a sense of newness, like a reset button, a chance to redo things…..and so many cards!
I have always loved anything in hard-copy writing!
Our generation has forgotten how to write a letter long time ago, so let’s just leave it at that but receiving New year greetings cards from classmates were like a peek in their heart to know what they think of me (even if the words were previously printed). I have like hundreds of those that date back to my 3rd standard!
I have this handmade card that I got from a boy and I was surprised because apart from discussing cartoons (yes you read it right! We DISCUSSED CARTOONS), we didn’t have any interactions.

That one is still my favorite! The card, not the guy!

But as we grow up we realize, that start of a year has practically no tangible effect in life as we know it.

So much is going around the world, starting from forest fires to political riots, from global warming to immigration problems, from civil wars to angry mob; that there is nothing that has a “feel good” quotient as far as the big picture is concern.

……so I realized that we have to take the small wins that we can get in our mundane regularity. For example, I have been trying to take this kind of a photograph of a place for quite sometime, but as it seems, easier said than done. After a lot of fight with the angle of the light and the manual adjustment of the camera, I succeeded, next time it will be better but  I counted this as my win for the day!

We have to try and make at least our surroundings a little better than it was yesterday…and try, we shall!

On that note I wish more power, more kindness and more good health to everyone.
Happy New Year!
Have a peaceful one!
