Drafting The Past-THE SILENT YEAR!

Today is exactly one year since I wrote anything, in my journal and right here, where I share all the good things and mostly the sob stories :-) . I have a lot to tell you and share. A summary will do though. People got married, I lost a friend and a cousin and more people got married. I made more friends and lost some in the process.

I had a very routine life up until February this year, when everything just started being erratic. Yes, in the very definition of erratic, my life became completely erratic. It was wonderful. To say that I have been busy will be an understatement and all these things that have been happening, have been wonderful. A friend mentioned that I write sob stories and I realized just how true that was. This is basically because since I became a happy person, I have not written anything, I just smiled when I wrote that because it is actually not true. The lesson in life is that I should not depend on anyone else for my happiness and true, since this came to light, despite the challenges that I am undergoing, I always remember that it is upto me to be and stay happy.



We had an explosive "book" written, my friend and I and the title is "The Journal" once we review all the details and see whether it is good, we shall consider taking it to a publisher. As of now we are filling in the "meat".


I realized that the people who called themselves my friends did not understand me at all and would talk "carelessly" to me, as a dear friend would put it. I realized why some marriages end even after 60 years of living together. Same with friendships, no matter how long you have been together, if you keep account of the injury, or rather the wrong, then you might not be friends. Instead, forgive, forget and move on from the injury and always better, from the person.

Close friends got married, which is actually the highlight of the silent year. Children were born and love was nurtured. Yes, in these couple of months many things came to mind and came to play. I remember one Bible scripture which made me even happier because, it made so much sense to me. 1 Thessalonians 4:11. I am sure that you are curious and want to know what it says, I will tell you this much, It described the life I want to live from now on. The life I have chosen and decided to direct my ways accordingly.


As we age, or rather come of age, we are reminded that we do not need to have many friends, rather have people who know and you know that you can rely on. Friendship is overrated, just ask my friend Siri, she will tell you and we have been friends for the longest time ever. 

Nothing beats this feeling. 
Well, being back feels really good and I will let you in on a little secret, I am back, I am hotter and I am in love.
