Here's to another year!

Remember in huge roller coasters, there is the initial slow jolting to the top before the big dive? That's the feeling I get on New Year's eve. A moment to dwell on the fact that you are about to plunge into a roller coaster ride.

Once the year starts, the days fall into their usual rhythm, or the unusual chaos that life brings, that I forget it's a new year. It is life as usual filled with it's flavors.

For me new year's eve is exciting, like the slow jolting to the top of a ride. It's a moment of calm where I gather myself for the ride.

We actually went around the sun again! That still amazes me.  I'm all set for another ride.

Here it is...the last day of 2009!

The start of a new year always excites me - a fresh start, a new beginning. Looking back, 2009 has been a year in which I had the privilege of time and the opportunity to do the things I wanted to do - for myself, as well as a family. Journeyed twice to India to spend time with family there, got to spend more time with my little one, learned to travel as a threesome family - exciting trips to Paris and Alaska, did few things I had been wanting to do - started writing a blog and started learning Bharatanatyam after pondering over the thought for many days, initiated a new tradition of getting away with my cousin for couple of days - just us ladies.

As we venture on another trip around the Sun, I wish everyone a very happy ride!
