We are twenty days into the new year. Damn, it feels like New
Years Eve was just yesterday. Felt that bittersweet feeling as 2016 came to an
end. 2016 was a good year for me. It
opened my eyes to travelling and Manali was the perfect trigger. Next place I
went to was Rishikesh, I will never forget euphoric feeling of swimming in the
cold rivers during the excruciating summer of India. Mussorie was a bummer
though, the weather was not our side. Nevertheless, three places in a year? I
did not see this coming.
Last year I also got audit assignments of three different
companies of various service industries. Took me a while, but I learnt that you
have to voice out your opinions to your boss no matter how uncomfortable or nervous
it makes you feel. I was so sick of doing the same type of work till one day I finally
told my boss I’ve had it. It was then when I got allocated a different project.
I feel more comfortable at office as compared to a year ago. Another plus point
is, my Hindi has significantly improved. Everybody around me has noticed that. Like was I that bad before? Haha.
You know how they say love comes to you when you least
expect it? Truly enough, I found love right under my nose. It was in front of
me this entire time. Guys, I was talking about food. Haha, just kidding. It
took me years to get to this point. I was so guarded and I had given up on
boys. I pushed everyone away one too many times but he? He was always
patient. Eventually, I gave in to my emotions. I am a human and human hearts melt when it receives constant
affection. It was then when I realized I still have a heart.
2017 on the other hand, I feel is going to be a pretty rough
year for me. With classes and work, in addition to being a senior in office, there
is going to be more responsibilities. I won’t get much time for myself but the
holiday calendar looks pretty promising, and it is my ray of hope for more
travelling this year.
I was planning to post this on the last day of 2016, but procrastination is an evil I tell you. Bad start, Numa. Bad start.
