And here comes 31st of Dec again and boy how fast
this year went…. faster than the touch and go screen space time Sara Ali khan
had in second half of movie Simba … Which I think is good both ways… for the
year 2018 it meant despite all the challenges all the ups and downs it went off
well.. lots of gratitude to the big boss up there for the same and for Sara Ali
khan it meant , the screen space was much
better utilized with all the SUV’s TUV’s….ZUV’s flying around.
This year too, it was K who pushed me to deliver this blog
right before the deadline date. JFYI…Couple of hours back in the ATM queue I was
reminded off the same. I guess somethings never change at ATM queue. If last
year it was modiji reminding us of our cashless status, this year it was K
reminding me of my blogless existence as I stood in the never-ending ATM queue.
Saving grace, this year ATM’s had cash and were working and K’s reminder
worked.
At work, it continued to be the year of change, and looks
like 2019 would be no different, busier, different, and challenging than the
previous one and on personal front chantu bantu are getting naughtier, smarter and
in some cases over smarter too……..As they take turn to test your abilities to
be able to work , move, think…. drive…eat… “just go on with life”..”bade chalo
bade chalo”..right in middle of Chaos , chorus and cries for apparently no
reason mankind could fathom and in turn making you appreciate the beauty of words
like meditation, spirituality , karma…😊 But jokes apart they are the blessings that
hold the house together and I just pray they both stay blessed always.
This year, there was another entrant too. … Fortuner…. finally
and fortunately everybody has their own AC vent now … and we all will drive
happily ever after…not exactly the right reason why others buy cars ..but I guess
for us it was the biggest attraction after years of me sweating it out in the
natural sauna of the back seat of scorpio.
It was also year of changing tech slowly seeping in day to
day life – Amazon, flipk cart , Netflix & prime movies, alexa , casting , mirzapur, voot, online streaming of movies…video calls....a
big wow and and a bigger how for the way
the world is changing …
And as I wrap up big thanks to everyone in my life. Mom and
dad for keeping us right and holding us tight, K for all that she silently does
in the background and bearing sethisahib’s
nuances , S & V for always being there and bringing tonnes of joy and every
day in the house.. friends at work ,
life, WhatsApp and facebook ( in no particular
order) for hundreds of smiles , thoughts
and messages you share every day.
And not to forget the most important thing as I end…. this
year while half of bolly wood was either getting married and the other half was
attending the marriage parties of who were getting married, just one man, our very
own Salman bhai stood just the same… single…nonchalant ..doing what he likes to
do ..It was just memorable watching him do his regular stuff in RACE 3 in jaipur’s
raj mandir theatre in middle of all the
whistle calls and wild dancing right next
to the theatre’s screen flexing his shoulders and biceps on Ranja yeh fanna
hogaya …boy I can still hear the song in my mind 😊
Andc as we concluded and bid goodbye to 2018.. I wish each
one of you a very healthy successful, happy and a smiling new year 2019 and as
Salman Bhai said on this years BIGG BOSS , apna kaam karo, , taaki mata pita ka
naam ho, mata pata pita ka nam hoga to desh ka naam hoga aur agar kaam nahin
hoga to ….. 😊
