a year she says. we've come this far in a year. the old has gone and the new has come. or has it really? i can't believe that a financial analyst, whom i've spent the longest time dodging from and avoiding but who finally got me to meet him, of all people, actually got me thinking about what i'll be doing, or wld want to do in 5 or 10 years.i've always shunned that question. but i decided that i should stop running away from it. i'm living out the 5th year out of my 8th that's planned out neatly. it's time i finally look ahead.but it felt like it did as i was running with my bro down Brickland road last nite. it was pitch black ahead...save for the few lights in the distance. it was scary coz i really cldn't see far ahead.so i asked for direction and an idea of what's up ahead and it was clear but simple - that i was to do what You'd earlier put in my heart to do, to be faithful to the things I'd heard and responded to earlier, incidentally, things i've still been kinda trying to run and hide from. it was like realising that i just had to keep on the black path..it wld lead me to the lights up ahead in the distance.shared it with Hui Shan and unknowingly (until just), it spoke to her too :)and now we have one more thing in common. how interesting.ok this has probably been by far the randomest sounding post to whoever's reading it. the dots are so few and far btw it's hard to connect them i know. but it's just good for me to put them down anyway. coz then i'm so clearly reminded that through these individual events, You've got me.so much has happened in a year. as lav says...there was india, then chindia, the thesis, europe and so much more in between. how'd all that happen all in 1 year such that we're so far from where we were a year ago?then other things stay the way they are over the years..only to resurface over and over again, leaving me right where i started a long long time ago.
