Endings and beginings...

Life is full of these ... and yet we still seem to mourn the endings and get excited about the beginings! all the time... everytime...

Is this what is the miracle called life?

2008 is on the verge of becoming the past... and 2009 is going to be the present and not the future anymore...

So how was 2008? same as every other year i guess...
some highs, some lows...
some times of utter despair,
some full of hope and new directions,
and some broken promises,
some moments full of life,
and some times i wished i wasn't alive,
festivities and celebrations on one hand,
funerals and illnesses on the other,
intimacy and passion was there,
strangely so was distance and loneliness,
some frustrating moments of silence,
where the heart wanted to shout and scream,
and some moments of emotional cacophony,
when all i wanted was a dessert of silence,
tender moments of pure unadulterated love
which only a child can bring,
Thankfully some moments of being one myself...

so ya - all in all... a pretty normal year... i guess...

What would 2009 bring with it?

maybe i'll revisit this entry next 31st dec and see what i can fill in then...

till then...

adieu 2008
welcome 2009...

A friend's contribution...

Jindagi ke arth kuch badalte hain is tarah, Jaise samundar ke paas ki rait ki satah, Jab lagta samajh aane lagi hai jindagi, Ek aur lahar aati hai paheli ki tarah, Ab kya karein ham is jindagi se jirah, Mazza aane laga hai humein jeene mein isi tarah...

The day i became a Teacher!

In the often-fiercely competitive and insecure corporate world, very few people make a strong impact for one to acknowledge someone as a teacher. After all - in order to be a good teacher you really do need a good student. Someone with an open enough mind which can absorb the learning and then make it their own. Too many times we focus on the traits needed in a good teacher - maybe if we spent a little time on what makes for a good student, we will be able to push up the learning curve a wee bit more.   To make matters worse, hesitation and ego often comes in the way of actually acknowledging our own roles as both Teachers and Students.   One of my pet peeves at work has been that too often we all rush to blame the new generations joining the corporate world as being bad students. Not as often do we stop and think if the older generation at work (Us of course!) are anywhere close to being the kind of high-quality teachers we had when we were starting off wo...
