The mayans were wrong.
Damn!!!
'We all make choices. Its living with them thats the tough part.'
They say that, to really know what u have, u need to look back to what used to be.
Im thinking a part of me was longing to find out, and quite intently so..
I decided to come back and revisit a part of my life that was left back gasping in the tabloids of yesterday.
Hyderabad.
For those who dont know the history, i was living in the city for a few years. It was the best time of my life. I discovered new things, cherished new experiences, build new relationships and was happy beyond debate.
Of course gravity had to come into play at some point, and everything that goes up must come down. I crashed and burnt. The specific details are irrelevant.
What is important is that which followed.
For once in my life, i was inspired to take charge of a ship that was spiralling out of control and try and bring it back on track.
Of course, life isnt always kind to those amongst us who want to hit the reset button. We gotta pay the price for snoozing.
This post is about reflection.
Choices. From what to order off a menu, to how to get to the restaurant, to which restaurant to pick, to whether or not to eat..
Life is all about those little decisions we make isnt it? Those little turns in the grand scheme of things that could make us either the most miserable of those, or the amongst the lucky ones.
2012 for me was all about sticking to some of those choices that i had made variably or invariably, and checking to see where it would take me.
Course in true tradition concerning most things in life, the year had started as anything but inspiring. The bottom of the barrel had just gotten deeper, in fact.
Long story short. Choices were made. Decisions were taken.
At the time, although i didnt know, it was by far the best thing i decided to do.
I stuck by it, and honetly life's better for it.
Right now, soaring at 35,000 feet above the earth, heading back from Hyderabad to the land of my forefathers, here i am sitting back, reflecting on that which was.
Bloody hell. I've changed. The city hasn't. The people havn't.
Anyhoo..
2013. Lucky number 13. The year of the snake.
Time to crawl out of the shadows and take the reins once again. Time to reinvent, rejuvinate and replenish the awesomeness of life.
The choices have been made. Decisions have been taken. Again.
Time to live with them.
