End of an eventful decade !!!

For me Yr 2009 was not just end of 1 calendar yr but it kept boggling in my mind that it also brought to end 1 whole decade ...

I kept thinking of all the experiences, journey till date, people and places encountered, memories gathered from 1999

1 realization was the feeling of entering late 20's and going away from the "so called" youth demographics ...

Milestone of adding yet another degree, end of phase-2 of a wonderful student life (:sigh) ...

Learning of umpteen number of marriages and (unfortunately) missing most of them ...

Getting dreaded with warnings, signs & symbols and buck of tension passed on to from family with constant reminders saying "Now ur turn" ...

Facing and rising with great courage, hope, optimism, falana+thikana from so far the worst economic hit ...

Getting to enter the world of glam & glitter and all those "oh so petty and unworthy to publicise" kinda Tv appearances ....

So on and so forth ... However, more than all of the above obvious experiences a more subtle yet intense, profound experience was that of rediscovering myself in a different manner ....

A year making me open up more, making me more accepting of people around me and even more of myself, my desires, my inhibitions, to face the dreaded taboos with a feeling of confident liberty of "make my way" ...

Towards end of this year I could sense myself slowly and steadily getting transformed into a more calmer, hopeful, focussed, decisive, confident and confidante person ... I cud sense a drastic personality metamorphosis (with signs of it getting evident in fact from end of 2008 itself) ...

This feeling of being so comfortable in my skin and doing stuff coz I feel like caring a damn abt the social norms is indeed very soothing ...

No specific evidential references to elucidate the above discourse ... Some of my naughty readers wud have been relieved had I ended this post with an interesting confession on lines of "I dont mind proclaiming to the world tht I m a lesbian" !! but apologies for discouraging you all as my list doesnt have nething on those lines :) ...
