Dear friends,
In case you're wondering where I have been all this time, please don't. Well I haven't been on the highway to hell or the stairway to heaven, but it is a waste of time thinking about me. Even I don't. So, hello you dirty little folks. How, above the hell, are you doing? I guess fine or better, and if you are not please do, because if you don't, what's the point in living? I admit that I am still confused where to put commas and full stops. Any ways, it has been a hell of a year. I am so excited that I have to restrain myself from swearing after ever two words. I don't know what to say. First of all, because there is so much to tell. Secondly, it isn't the middle of the night, and I haven't had any coffee. Thirdly, I am heavily multitasking.

...meanwhile in the lively realm of Kitchengard a strong mist of coffee was sifting thorough the warm fields of dinner leftovers. A flash charged the skies. Heimdall had opened the Bifrost between Kitchengard and Livingheim, as it was the time for the Odin-sleep and he knew that Odin was the father of all, even the greatest procrastinators. Odin sniffs the aroma, drinks the strong liquid, and gets back to work cursing himself for not appointing someone above him...

I wrote the first paragraph three hours ago. And i am not gonna read it again. So, this is most probably the last post this year. I wanted to post more often, but the last few months were crammed with so many events that I ended up not writing most of the things I wanted to write about. But I have made notes and I promise that they will grow into beautiful pieces of literature (corny). Here I have made a new year resolution without saying I am making one.
I think I had planned to write somethings in this post which I don't remember. Let it be. I had been so busy in living the present. It has its ups. It has its downs. Let it be. So, some of the highlights of this year were :
1. Had an ideal 6 pointer (6.5) semester with the full spectrum of grades (A-F).
2. Had an awesome summer:
(i) Did the summer project, but didn't submit the report.
(ii) Had my periodic brainstorming session on my existence, this time with better result.
(iii) Made a 25 km trek at high altitude in 2 days, took a nap near a frozen lake.
(iv) Lived in Music.
3. Had the best second half of the year ever.
(i) Started the sem like an ideal student.
(ii) Wrote my best song yet, with my band.
(iii) Had a 12 hour lag for about 3 months.
(iv) Got a letter for short attendance.
(v) Bought my first guitar and amp.
(vi) Wrote a few more songs.
(vii) Tried to ask someone out in a long time.
(viii) Admired Colonel Harland Sander's creations more than ever.
(ix) Did my worst academic performance ever, leaving my CPI hanging on 6.1.
(x) Did my best performance ever on sports field.
(xi) Swam in the sea and lied in the sand.
(xii) Saw the Taj Mahal. It killed me.
(xiii) Traveled for the longest distance and time in my life.
(xiv) Had the greatest time of my life.
If only I had the time to write about everything in detail, and some more.
Finally the coffee meter is getting low again. So, let us wind up. It was a hell of a year. I wish the next one to be on the next level for me and for you. Live your life to the fullest until you can. Live and let Live. Or better live free or/and die hard. Make strong resolutions. Support the ongoing revolutions. And if it hurts, first let it, then smash it (Hulk Smash!). Wish you a very Happy and enlightening New Year. I feel like it is the starting of a new era.
नववर्ष की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं !
Love and Peace to all.
Yours,
Shivpal.
P.S. : This was my warm-up writing before I wrote this post. I can't stop laughing reading it again :
Into the music we are born. We dance, we sing along the symphony into which we were thrown. We gather ourselves, we slip into the seas of vibrations. Of beats and of tunes our lives are made. We taste the liquor of satisfaction through the lips of melody. It might get loud, it might rest as a whisper. It may be metal, it may be classical. All we listen, until we not feel, is poured upon the rim of the glass which always remains half filled. Green is complex, red ain't fertile. Green is life, red is life. Thunders may seem magnificent, or may destroy. It all goes on. Yes it will. Crescendo. Diminuendo.
