Another year!

"She died at the age of 31. Neither too young, nor too old - The viable dieable age" ... about Ammu's death in God of Small Things. When I read the book, this age was 12 years away :) Time do fly... I turned thirty one yesterday.

What did last year add? Nothing significant. But the insignificants include
  1. Started using my scooter again (after long 7 years of break, mastered the fear factor). In this second innings have completed hardly 100kms (2+2 kms to and from office for past 2-3 months), and does not go beyond 30km/hour. Still it do rank top in my insignificants :)
  2. Renewed some friendships :)... (Sounds like library membership ;))
  3. Did a bit better job at the "mom role" than last year... (Nived may not agree though)
  4. 5th wedding anniversary passed by w/o much celebrations, but with an assurance that finally we might manage to live together not going separate ways ;)
  5. Updated blog frequently than last year.
  6. Put on 2-3 kgs and touched fifty finally... And now m left with worrying abt the big tummy... Looks like all the 3 kgs went there :(
  7. Got a mentee :D... This is big story, may be for next post.
  8. Did not fall in love... (In fact this should be considered a significant achievement... But the doubt is whether it indicates maturity or just getting old?  :( )
  9. Partially bought a plot (money is still to be given..so :))
  10. Got promoted in office (More than promotion, there is a shift within me. I have started taking more responsibilities than running away from them. Hope this spreads to home too :))
 Above all these I feel a bit more at ease with myself... Able to forgive most of my mistakes... More than mistakes I would call them stupidities :)

And yeah those dreaded grey hairs. They should top the list actually... ;)
Laziness has prevented me from doing lot of things. As my room mate rightly pointed out, I have been a bag of ideas without any actions. But even with all the in action and mistakes and stupidities I feel blessed today. Thank you Lord...!
