The New Year: 2010

The traverse from the antecedent year to the current one, I must say, happened on an extremely merry note: marked by transcendental debauchery and absolute dissipation. The merry making continued till the wee hours of the morning and the retirement coming in at aurora, pretty much sums up the revelry we indulged in. Also the fact that a dear friend besotted and incoherent with the ‘licor o bebida alcohólica de alta graduación’ or rather simply put the hard liquor, waking up the next morning wrapped around a coyote ugly, recoiled in such horror that it took almost the entire next day for us to stop laughing and to move the conversation over to some other direction. So, all in all we had a fairly successful binge followed by a nice and pleasant, but at the same time an unceremonious day.

Digressing from the consummation and moving on to the start of the previous year I certainly feel, in retrospect and vestige of things, that I had a bummer of a year. In fact to put it all in a nutshell I’d like to quote a phrase from the Bible [Isaiah 14:12] “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground!” And that’s exactly what happened to me!

Things last year so unfolded that at a point in time I felt as if I had been yanked down from my upwardly flight and put to the ground. I had entered this city around a couple of years back with a momentously grave situation in hand, which last year became even graver. I felt that I was certainly tested to the utmost level and had to use my entire energy to not lose my focus, which as a matter of fact left me listlessly sapped and completely debilitated towards the end. Rising from the ashes of an already testing scenario I, almost towards the end of the year, fortunately or not so fortunately got into another which in no way was less than the previous, if not more.

Things- though not completely over- seem to have simmered down a fair bit now but the acrid taste from the bitter experiences still remains. I hope the coming year with its good start will unfold a much better experience for me as well as all my compatriots and I hope that it will certainly be a new beginning towards life and love as well as friendship and happiness, for one and all.
