A lazy Saturday afternoon, with not much going on. I thought this would be the perfect time to write my first blog of the new year. 2012 - the year of the Apocalypse. The year when it all ends....
Hold on just a second, lets rewind. Really? It all ends this year? I sure hope not. So much left to do. So many things I haven't tried yet, so many places I haven't visited, so many people I haven't met! So I really hope the Mayans made some kind of mistake when they decided to end their calender on 21st December,2012. Not that they counted by our system, I'm sure they had no clue as to what December is or the year A.D. that they lived in. But you get the picture.
A week into the year, and there isn't much to write about. The occasional outings and frolic aside, it has been, well, boring. No project allocated in office yet, so not much work there either. It's getting a bit worrying now! Brought in the new year on a grand enough scale. House-party. We seemed to suddenly have the energy of ten year olds on their birthday. Music, dancing(I'm sure you've seen the pictures), dinner in the middle of the night, no less, and an overall sense of belonging, seemed a perfect enough way to start a brand new year. Though this also resulted in me sleeping through half the first day of the year, but one can't have everything! The rest of the week passed in cruise-control really. Reminds me of those lines in that song by Rembrandts, made famous by it's use as the title song of F.R.I.E.N.D.S., "It's like your always stuck in second gear...". From 2nd to 7th January, I really have been stuck in second gear. A higher gear shift doesn't seem to be around the corner either!
On another note, the new year has brought some definitely weird weather to our city and its surroundings. For starters, the cold weather has disappeared. Its been warm for a couple of days. It has even rained for the past couple of days! Looks like the weather is getting back at me for making fun of the winter rains in London. Also, on that note, check out the conditions in which the Wigan versus Sunderland game was played this past week. That was what I was talking about in my 'Calcutta=London...' blog post. Near zero temperatures, driving rain, half-sleeve and shorts....I am left wondering as to how the players don't end up with pneumonia!
The new year's celebrations are over for another year. Time to buckle in and hang on for the ride that is 2012. Happy New Year everyone. Better late than never :-)
