Au Revoir 2005

I could see it all; I have each and every dialogue lingering in my mind and the scenes imprinted on my heart. This whole year seemed to pass away at super-fast speed, leaving behind memories. Good and ugly, both.

It looks like just a few months back incident.  It was chilly January but I didn’t feel cold because my blood was boiling.  I was upset.  I was mad.  I was going insane.  Why was all that happening, is a long story.  But I’ll remember January 2005 as the worst month of my life.  It appeared that I would die of depression.  But, the month passed, and I lived.

Looking back at the year 2005 – I did actually accomplish a lot of things.  It was a year full of events. I read dozens of books, exercised a lot, sold my car, completed my MBA, and made new friends.  I started working again from February.  I found a good friend at my new workplace.  My twenty-sixth birthday on the 8^th of March was the best birthday ever.  April bought me good news.  I switched my job and joined PPL.  I gave my final exams in May.  I started playing sports in June; I tried to play tennis, badminton, table-tennis & squash.  I also played snooker.  July was spent studying for the comprehensive exam for MBA.  My younger stud brother came to Karachi on vacations in July; I spent the best time with him.  I played tennis for long hours in the evening, and also under lights in the night during August.  September was the month when my father came back from SA to visit me.  He was glad I had improved considerably since the last time he saw me in January.  Though he was still worried.  He went back, and I also left for another visit to Sui. October, November & December were spent playing sports, mainly badminton and tennis.  The best event however happened on the twenty-first of October, and I’ll remember that day for a very long time.

This year I’ve learnt that life is depressing if it is spent thinking about past, and frustrating if thinking about future.  Life is a gift if it is spent in present.  Just enjoy whatever you have today, and for future worries, there is a tomorrow to come!

 

And finally, the best person of the year award goes to: You know who you are! =).  Thank you so much for being there.  If it hadn’t been for you, there would have been something left incomplete in me. You are the best there ever can be.
