For me, birthday is the day meant to enjoy. It is the time to celebrate new beginnings and to cherish the good old memories. But, yes, not to forget, it is also the time to introspect. It is the time to evaluate which are the changes that came about in the personality in one year, what needs to stay and what should be done away with. To sum it up, birthday is a time to seek gifts from the experiences one has had in the year gone by.
If I look at my year gone by, I realise that in the last one year, I have grown. And seriously, it has been a wonderful year. I experienced a time which most of us dread in our professional life. There were twists and turns. I got to witness the changing faces of people with success and failure. I got to judge people's true nature. I got a better understanding of life. I got much more responsible. There was, of course, some inevitable dejection too. There were times, as all of us experience, when nothing was moving in the desired direction. But that is how life is. Something that happens to you, when you are busy planning something else.
Though, at that very moment, we hate the unpredictable turns. We crib, cringe and cry. In the end, we realise that all that happened was with a purpose. With the aim of making us wiser. Teaching us the best lessons of life in the best possible way. So, I am thankful to You, and to all those who have been good, bad or ugly to me. Because it is you who have made that one year of my life worthwhile. I may not be able to spell it out to you in person coz that is how I am. But, I genuinely mean it. So, a big THANK YOU. Don’t know whether I will be able to say this next year or no. So, saying it loud and clear.
