See You Later

Another One

Time flies so fast. It's the 1st of January again. It's another year, another reality check. We have to move on. Move forward. Plan our every move. Chess. 2007 was a treasure chest, more than a year. So many memories I want to keep in my mind, in my soul. As much as I didn't want this year to happen, it did. I'm looking forward to it too. Soon, the boards will end. Soon, there'll be freedom. Maybe, soon, there'll be a realisation of hope; a gift. At the moment, I'm listening to the second Schmizel performance. All that adrenaline, all that practice, the stage. Mazaya Centre. All of it brings back memories. A time when I could let myself go. The third Schmizel performance, I don't have the video, but I remember it, most of it. It's difficult to remember things sometimes. If only we didn't have to forget.

Previous blogpost. All those things, they're so small, some of them immaterial. But the year would be incomplete without them. Some of things that have happened are so big, the impacts they have made are gigantic.

There are many things I want to say about 2007, the pain, the sorrow, the joy, the happiness, the randomness, the laughter. Everything's a big puzzle. Each piece is required to make it complete. Each piece should fit. There are many things I want to say, but again I can't.

I guess all I can do is wait for what 2008 brings, what it will give me. What it will take from me, what it will balance out. After all, there always is an equilibrium. The equilibrium of states. Nothing comes without a relation. Every equation is independent and dependent.

2008, I am Nishant Mehrotra. I am here, and I am here to experience. Give me experiences. I am here. See me. Notice me.

It's another year. I need to learn to time travel. I need to learn to change, and accept change.

I need to learn to fly.

The Year That Was

Well, since 2007 is officially over now, except in USA and Europe and places like that, I really don't know what to say. The emotions will flow later. It's too early. Now is the time to look back and rejoice, to feel sad, to regret, and to change.

These are a few, a few of the things that I don't want to forget. Ever. They're so small, some of them, maybe most of them, yet they are so important. So important. Here goes.
