Reflections

Counting this post I will be 16 posts shy of the 100 mark. Some time in the last few months I had thought of getting to 100 before the year end. Not certain whether I can achieve that goal, seeing as I have very little time for self or reflection. I have started work of late, having completed a course in Digital Media and will be busy with internship for the next 5 months. Hopefully after that I'm recruited in a good ad agency so that I make a lot of money before 40 so I retire to a shack on a beach in Goa and spend my days combing the beach in just pants.


This year has been good to me so far. Now that it's almost over I realize that in the quest for achieving something I've lost a part of me. I've neglected certain aspects of my life and what was very important to me, in another time it almost seems.


I think of myself as old, but on recent reflection know, I have a long way to go before I tag myself as such. Maybe I never see myself grow old or have kids or see my friends get old. Either way it doesn't matter, for such thoughts are best left 'unthought' (I just made that word up).


I'll be honest with telling you that the reason I haven't been writing often (or well) is because there isn't much darkness in my soul anymore. Not that there's much light, but i feel like I'm in the middle of something; like a neutral point between two...non-neutral points, for want of a better analogy.


As this year draws to a close I can say I have more answers than questions. That state of affairs not necessarily being a good thing. Or bad. It just is. Life has taken a sudden turn for me this year. Going from sitting home to being productive has been a welcome change. I feel like I'm heading somewhere, a feeling I've not known since a long long time. It is a nice feeling and one that I feel the need to explore further.
