when the curtain falls

time neither waits for anything, nor for anyone. today is already the 1st january 2012. quoting a dear brother, danial jazmy, " i remember 2011 like it was yesterday." please laugh, i find this funny in its own way. anyway. i believe that people tend to make some new year resolutions (if that is what they call it) but i am not in that bunch. not because i don't have aims, but it will be just too many to list down, and when written down and not fulfilled, i'd feel like a loser. all i;m saying is, it might work for others, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't work for me.

entering a new year, all i can think of is, it obviously means that we are a year older. the grey part is, how can age define a person. this is something i don;t know just yet, something that i believe, differs form one person to another. as for me, i choose to look at the treatment that i get from the people around me- to see whether i have changed, or they have changed as time goes by.

2011 had taught me a lot. a lot. i almost lost the opportunity to step ahead with my beloved friends, i almost got myself into a totally alien field that is not related to my subject at all, i almost tripped by my own emotions, and that one thing i almost did was, i almost forgot how to be a forgiving person- something that my parents had taught me for 22 years by now. alhamdulillah, i stepped back into reality as soon as it bites (or pushed/knocked on the head/shouted at) *pondering* anyway. i got through all that, still standing and able to smile despite the pain and sufferings that almost got me on my knees.

papa and mama, you don't know how much i owe you, i'd trade my life for you if i need to. my blood related siblings and non-related siblings, i'd be lost without your love and care. and last but never least, my backbonelike boyfriend for the support and shoulder i cried on (literally and not literally) you know i appreciate all that :) i'd say my 2011 was well spent, both with the sweet and bitter things, which actually makes me stronger in so many ways.

p/s:

got a new name towards the end of 2011- nandini.

and you guys should NOT call me that.

love,

the name is yasmin, now and forever.
