Envision a roller‑coaster ride at the bottom of which there is a cascade filled with the elixir of wisdom. After each spine‑tingling round, immersing through the trough, we come out more shrewd and savvy. 2k23 has been exactly like that, an electrifying excursion. After every twisty‑turn, the alleviation was more soothing than ever, the mind was more inventive than it ever could have been.
This year was indeed a carnival whirl furnished with the gravity‑defying experiences of life. At one moment, the heart was in a state of despair, at another, it was filled with exuberance. There also came a stage of melancholic joy where there was a blend of emotions. I was in a state of awe, whether to shed tears or bound with delight.
This momentous episode exhibited the jovial emotions of getting the job at the inception of the college placement, taking the heart to cloud nine. No sooner did it reach there, than something started pulling it down, transforming the mirth into the momentary delight. It was quite strenuous to chin up the soul. Life seemed dismayed but that’s when its presence was most profoundly felt.
Remarkably, this living soul was mesmerized with the voyage to the foreign land where the beauty not only resides in its spellbinding valleys but also its sigh. Bhutan was indeed picturesque enough to be engraved in red letters on the canvas of my intellect.
At this phase, life seemed incredible, the spirits peaked when India was winning back‑to‑back thrillers in the Cricket World Cup. The mind could clearly envisage the galactic prize coming back home, but as soon as the soul starts brightening, it’s at the seventh heaven, and something starts pulling it down. The tale which laid after that squelched the aspirations of 140 crore Indians.
As the curtains fall, I can’t help but admire the sporadic script that this year has showcased. My heart expresses deep‑felt appreciation to the creatures who inculcated a bunch of life lessons. I am grateful for all the gracious people in my life. Wishing everyone a new year that brings persistent harmony and unending prosperity.
Regards,
