The year that was

Another year gone by…wheels of time continue spinning…
It’s been a very eventful year personally and otherwise. (Eventful doesn’t really describe if the events made you happy, ecstatic, disappointed, sad or angry. It just says a lot has happened!)

I stumbled on this terrific photojournalism site which featured a 3-part series on the year 2008. It’s a must-see. (The site is also part of my Blogroll now)
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Here’s to my career which I hope will turn out the way I’ve envisioned it for 2009; to my family who I’m crazy about…I love you all to bits; to our house that’s nearing completion…I can’t wait to start living there; to our travelling, where I hope to explore more new places; to my books, which are my escape, my partner in solitude ;to Bangalore, my beloved city which I hope will see better things and more trees and restored lakes in 2009; and last but most importantly, to my mad bunch of friends who keep me sane through thick and thin. Muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Oh and world peace of course if such a thing exists in these violence-obsessed times. (No, I’m not being sarcastic, it amazes me to see how our world has become and how all that one can talk about is of atrocities committed by people towards other people)

I just can’t remember who said this or who wrote this and I’m going to end this post by saying it: May you live in interesting times! Best wishes for a wonderful new year ahead!

p.s. I will find out who said it.
