A Change of Calender


After much hoopla over the change of calenders , we are now well into 2007. 1996 seems like it happened yesterday. Time simply flies and new years always give me the feeling that we have a very short existence. Every moment we spend is extremely precious but then we hardly ever live for the moment.

Personally had a very good new years catching up with old college friends over really good liquor and jolly conversation. Stopped believing in resolutions so never made one this year. Anyways life is so unpredictable that it defeats the purpose of being to stuck to one particular rule. Back on campus, college life has resumed on slow pace. People over here now seem to be more relaxed about each other and their presence. The winter chill makes the night nice and snugly and the afternoons extremely pleasant. The sun feels good on the skin.

The joy of running on a virtually empty road with wilderness on either side with your out of control breath for company is total bliss. The joy derived from pushing oneself simply cannot be beaten by anything else. I have started going for a run again and hopefully will pursue it throughout this term.

I am trying to change the pattern of existence this term. Do things with a little more control over them . Getting a little more organised. Having a little bit more of self control. Try and gain some knowledge. Term has just started and am trying to set the pace as of now.

I feel i have matured a bit more over the past few months. Feel a hell lot more comfortable with the things around me and the way i am. I think i comprehend things better. Though i really do not have a fresh perspective at issues but that's what i am trying to develop.

Looking ahead this year is going to hold only personal challenges for me. Will be spending this whole year in this place excepting the summer and considering this place it is simply a matter of self improvement. Do not have any expectations from this year too. I have every opportunity i need in my hands, it boils down merely to the question of whether i will act?
