2014 has been a very mixed year. I got promoted earlier in the year at work without much benefits. I bought a house in the 2nd half of the year but had to toil the heck out for the home loan. Now I almost know why things move so slow in Kolkata. It's in the grass roots of things. Anyway - this year would be remembered more coz I lost my dream of becoming a musician. I lost the power to put forward a case where I could find a viable reason to ask others to stay in Bangalore and pursue this so called delusional dream of ours. However at the same time, we released our 3rd studio album this year and also for the first time ever in my life - we came on National TV coz MTV aired our music video over and over again.
Ugh, with the band - we touched some great highs this year - but by the time we made the jump - we had already lost the battle. I became a little insensitive about music. I can feel it every single day. I'd not be able to live a single day without listening to the songs I loved, but now - I open youtube and I don't know what to type in there. I have probably spent the most amount of time with my laptop and on my phone that any other year. I spoke on whatsapp more than I spoke in person or over phone. I tried to get back in shape towards the latter part of the year but it's a hard job given the amount of junk i consumed during the first half.
3 of my patents got filed this year and I got some capital to invest in the house I bought.
Mom is going to go for a BIG transition next year coz of her retirement and I'd probably be tying the knot for a new beginning. On one hand, 2014 has been a year of broken dreams. On the other hand, this year gives me a hope for the future. A future that probably awaits me in 2015. I expect things to change for the better. Whilst my 20s have been about building a tomorrow for myself and my mom, my 30s would be about exploring the beauty of life.
So now - coming to the part of what I would want 2015 to be. Well, I have a set of goals and the seeds of rebirth are planted this year itself. So here it goes:
1. I'd like to return to music. I'd like to return music in a conscious way. Doing things like never before. I want to learn the Piano and by mid/end next year I should be good with the keys. I'd like to write more of poetry and music.
2. I'd like to be with my mom for a longer period than any of the last 7 years. She misses me a lot but now that she'd be retired - I'd try to get her to Bangalore to spend some good time.
3. I'd like to make at least one foreign trip. My post 30 years should be about exploring the world like I said. I'd like to go on trips, trips and trips with my buds.
4. I'd like to kill the boredom of being alone, precisely would like to get married. They say - life, death and marriage are 3 things in a man's life where one has no control. But you see, life and death are inevitable...
5. I'd like to excel at work. Something I have managed to do over the years. But the difference this year would be to create an impact where I am recognized outside my company's recognition.
2015 shall be the year to return to things. To love people more, to stay connected with friends, to bring happiness in our world and to kick some butt for god sake!
