2008- Opening Post

Looking at my blog makes me feel like my life was paused for a long period of time. A lot of things have happened and are happening it was just that I was too lazy or tired to post anything. There are pictures waiting to be put online as well. I got 127 requests on my Facebook which I am too exhausted to look at. :P

I just typed out stuff about Christmas and then pressed backspace and deleted everything.

Well to make things simple. 2007 was a year which saw me getting closer to Banz and Nandini and also to my cousins Hema and Nandini. I am so glad that the first move was finally made! I am fortunate to have lovely sisters like them and it is always fun talking to these gals as they always have something hilarious, shocking or exciting to reveal!

I am going to be 25 soon! Age is definitely just a number but it just reminds me that people are going to be pushier on the fact that I should be getting married. That is just annoying. Just because they got married at 24 or 25 decades ago does not necessarily mean that I have to follow those footsteps right. I mean do I not have a right to say when I want to move on to this whole new chapter in my life?! Funnily enough these people do not encompass my parents, aunts or uncles. There are those 'aunties' and 'uncles' who obviously have nothing else to do in their lives and so poke their noses into others. I do not know if I am coming across as harsh but that is not my intention at all. It just that it gets increasingly annoying when people turn to you in weddings and say," So when is your turn?" Argh!

The truth is I am afraid of getting married. Lol. The whole idea of growing up is frightening! I am very sure at this moment that I do want to get invoved in this whole marriage thingy for now. *shudders*

Imagine moving to a new home, getting to know new people and being in a whole financial situation. Wow. It is definitely exciting but at the same time scary. I am just not prepared. Thankfully his parents are nice to be with and getting to know them is no issue at all. Though it might be a little if not a whole lot difficult getting along with his WHOLE family, I believe that I can just manage. Afterall isn't life all about giving and taking. If I would have to give a lot and take none it really isn't an issue.

If all goes well, 2008 will see me graduating with a degree! Woohoo! Like, finally! Lol. One of the goals in my life and though I might be achieving it a little late in my life I am glad that I am nearing it.

I have been wanting to take Veenai lessons once I graduate. I will have more money and time to spend on my interests after my studies are over. Hopefully I will have the time to take up classes in the later part of the year.

Graduation will also mean that I should start looking for a suitable job. Then there's the Masters that I should start working towards to. So many things and so little time. People can still question why I am not settling down yet. :>

I am giving myself another 2-3 years to get to the place that I have been dreaming of and I hope to attain that or at least something similar to it (you know if you cannot have what you want then be happy with what you get!)

I am glad that I have learnt how to move on from certain things in my life. I went through neurotic phases in 2007 which have made me see things that I refused to see or stubbornly did not believe in. Now I know that I have tried enough and that I should stop. There is no need for me to push myself when I personally do not have the interest. I will probably seem arrogant, rude and self-involved. It is alright. Life is unfair. Life is selfish. Life is short. So I am going to spend it with the ones who shower me with sincere love and I am going to spend it by caring and loving those loving ones and just tell myself to stop wasting time with those who simply do not care.

Cheers to 2008!
