Aakish Banya Aapne
Wow, 2021 also vanished and all I
could remember as I start penning this annual ritual was that we started this
year with a trip to Aria mall and surprisingly ended the same with another trip
there. I have now seriously started believing the thought what you do on the first
day of the year, you end to repeating that throughout the next 365 days.
Or maybe it was just a year of finding
happiness in everything small and being huddled together, being there together,
doing WAH together, and also to an extent of being vaccinated together. Maybe it’s
also that year where we are transitioning to find our own smiles in Chantu,
Bantu’s badmaashis, and their big laughter and screams as they unleashed
themselves on malls, the moment the door of the mall’s lift opened up.
BTW, work at home got extended by
another year – and whoever thought WAH was easy, it’s Return to the office that
many are now waiting for, and looks like it’s a few more stressed months now
for My sofa seat that held my weight for another year and we both got a bit
more curved from the stomach.
And yes, this year K started
pressing from this blog from the first week of Dec itself, and knowing Sethi
Sahib’s world-famous (but limited to Janakpuri and Gurgaon) procrastination stories,
I am glad, I can complete this one just in time again for this year. K’s
patience with me is still holding up strong despite Nanni and his Papaji’s weird
ways every day. Thanks, K for being there, keeping it all together. Keep
smiling and always keep being you.
S and V , you are amazing; every
year comes with its ups and downs but you both together can weather through anything.
Most beautiful of blessings your way and thank you for every single beautiful moment that you create every
day in our mosaic. And S especially for you; please go through archives of this
blog – and then a big welcome to the club – Roadies, Bigg Boss and I know what’s
next - its Himesh Bhai & Adnan Sami coming up now😊
.” Parampara Dad Paramapara” and V you’ve turned some great sketches this year
and I am sure any more extension to WAH you have your exhibition ready.
Dad and Mom got their new car
this year, their presence and confidence are inspiring, just tonnes of wishes
for many-many happy healthy, and fun-filled years for them. Your blessings and everything
that you do, every day keeps this engine rolling day after day. We can still be
kids because you let us be one and there is nothing more one can ask for in
life.
Personally, a long-term wish of
mine for being at IIM A campus and graduating from there got fulfilled- Tonnes
of gratitude and I do, wish, hope, and pray IPS SS and Nanni Singh at some
point of their life, both get to be part of worlds best institutes like these.
But For this year, there’s and hence
our world revolved around online classes, watching shark tank, copying Indian
idol judges, playing KBC, doing Shilpa’s Seedi and Geeta ma’s bow, singing brown
munde, Badshah, tony kakkar and Hello Kaun songs, watching
OTT web series, playing country capital and flags, and finally dancing on Bhola sir steps on mine
ever-favorite- till eternity Himesh Bhai’s biggest blockbuster song Aaakish
banaya aapne. (Aakish twist courtesy Sami Singh)
And as I wrap up this year and this
blog, big thank you to everyone who touched our lives, lots of blessings to
everyone around, and a truckload of wishes (looks like construction @ home is reflecting
in my words ) for a happy healthy smiling successful year ahead.
So now just stand up, get ready, put
on your ghoda steps, and start dancing with Chantu , Bantu and Bhola sir on
Aakish banaya Aaapne … It will be an amazing time ahead … stay happy, stay blessed
and keep smiling !! wising you all a very
Happy new year 2022!
