A New Day!

I used to have this stupid tradition to do everything that I want to do in the coming year on 1st of January, so at least I know that I will have to do it, but I have realized that it rarely ever worked and I usually was so exhausted by the end of it that I just ruined the other day. 31st as such is a crazy night as I want it to be, I mean the year should go down with a bang.




The first thing to do every year is that I just have to visit the Gurudwara. And amid a sea of people and the clicks of their camera, I somehow always manage to ask for his grace for the coming year. Then I have to do what I want to do, I listen to music, watch my favorite TV show, talk or meet (if possible) with the people I love, catch up on my hobbies, dance, write and so on. There isn't though time for me, I've realized that. I used to make resolutions with such gusto that it scared me. As I'm getting older though I find it such a silly stunt now that I look back. 

You do realise that it's just another year, just another day that will turn into just another year. What we fail to really grasp is the importance of how time is passing us by. People are living their life with every tick of the clock. There isn't enough time to do everything that you want to do. Every year we dream of more luxury, more grandiose. As a child I really wanted to become an archaeologist. I aspired to go on digs to distant lands and understand and discover their history. To be a part of something that was and you helped bring to light in this day and age has to be a spectacular feeling. So, this year I have decided to dig my soul out and help me bring myself back to life. Time is too short and it's running away from you with every step you take into the future. You need to remember, you need to make memories, you need to know that you are going to leave an important mark in this world. You just don't know it yet!
