Ah!
Another New Year just round
the corner. And we all want
to recollect the year that
was. What did we achieve
what did we loose?

A
year which was full
of the unexpected
contrasts and was an
antithesis in all ways.
There
were new relationships
built, some old ones became stronger and some old ones lost touch.
Today as I
sit and make a list of people who are dear to me, to whom I should send my wishes,
for a Prosperous New Year. These thoughts cross my mind. We all don’t know what
the year will bring for us. But we still take our loved ones for granted. Thinking
that there is always tomorrow. But alas, that is not the way life works. The
only
rule about life is that it has no rules.
The
most recent
example
for this
is the
Tsunami
disaster.
Complete families were swept away. Thousands of people missing. People who were
out for holidays. Who
will never reach home to their loved ones. Spouses dead, children dead. It
makes us feel so small and so insignificant in front of nature,
however advanced science
may be. There are so many things that are beyond our control.
So, this year, I intend to give my best to all my near and dear ones. Reach
out and let them know that I care, and love them. For each relationship is
like a
gem. The older it gets, the more precious and beautiful it becomes. To save
and nurture it, is the most beautiful thing in the world.
For when we die, we will
not be known by our material possessions, but by the words we spoke and the
way we made our
loved ones feel... 'so special and unique'. |
