[...] It feels as if my heart is not in writing for now. And I don’t want to write to you anything half-heartedly.

I don’t know what am I going to do with the time that I usually spent blogging (promise to update you on that once I come back). I plan to go with the flow and let my heart decide what it wants to do and where it wants to go.

First quarter of 2009 is already over. 50% of new year resolutions are given up by this time. Are you keeping up with your new year resolutions? Here’s how things are going at my end (updates and learnings combined) -

Time flies when with loved ones and stalls while waiting for them said Einstein in his Theory of
Relativity. Nothing could be truer it seems. My one week of waiting to leave for hometown – Mumbai, India had seemed like an eternity. Time went painfully slow, making me aware of every hour and day. Last one month with family has gone away in a blink. I can’t believe it’s already 30+ days that I am with people I love (And I still haven’t met up with half the people I want to!).

2009 has started awesome for me. I am going home (Mumbai, India) to spend some time with my family after a year apart. And I get to stay for 2-3 months with them before returning to US. I am leaving tomorrow and can’t wait to be with family. Am rushing, packing, shopping and yes jumping with joy right now.

I don’t like new year resolutions. They have never worked for me. However, I like the idea of reviewing life annually and setting goals for the next year. In a way, subtly we are giving life direction, we are taking time to pause, reflect and figure out what we really want from life, what’s important. Of course, this doesn’t have to be at the end of the year always. We can have new year resolutions anytime of the year – as long as we follow up annually (i.e. on a yearly basis).
