Thank You 2015.

At the end of 2016, I rolled up my sleeves to write a thank you note for the most beautiful year of my life, 2015. Yes!! You read it right, I fully meant 2015 and not 2016.

Then why take so long to express the awesomeness of a yester-year if it has been your most blessed??

Well, aren’t I just a human and it’s part of my manufacturing that I only hope for best and best each and every other time (totally kidding, I am a true follower of Satan and pessimistic as FUCK) .

But facts apart, I believe 2015 deserves a BIG THANK YOU and a hundred million hugs for it showed me so many sides in me and not with harsh lessons but with love and tenderness. You should all understand how difficult it is for me to write a positive post, okay? Honestly 2016 has bitch-slapped me, pinched me and sucker-punched me so many times that even this much of joy is a miracle. Even today as I write this post I have like a total of 29 problems.

Ok wait…what am I talking about, This is supposed to be about 2015 !! Back to Topic.

So my 2015 started off with my bags packed and set off to Bangalore to start spending my own money and not the ones stolen from my mom’s purse or dad’s backpocket( He is so careless and just asks for it, I tell you !!) I started “Internship” with the most sexiest-campus having company in Bangalore, Cisco (Ah, cisco muah muah ) The internship was from January to June and man were they the besttttttttt 6 months of my life. I did surely have some good times before that but 180 days of pure bliss? Doesn’t ring any balls.uh-oh I mean bells.  Here, I got to meet some of best people ever ever, evaaa evaa (sing-song it..cmon) and the fun I had was madness : stuff like early mrng hill rides(Just kidding dad) , drinking first cosmos (Just kidding Mom) and drinking and then calling mom to tell her bout the firsts (Just kidding guys ) and eating at every damn restaurant, thela ,cafe and foodtruck ever opened !!  And what happened after all that you ask? Nah nothing, I just gained like 8 effing kgs (Yes in India we do kgs) in a span of 4 months…four fucking months !!!!! And now it’s taken me 2 years to lose just 4 of those meffing kgs !!

I could totally do a before after thing to inspire people about gaining weight and then losing but then that would be totally useless because well, I still pretty much look the very same. Honestly though I am in a great shape… a great Oval and what’s a better shape than that. !

Wait, that’s the cynical me talking again !! Gurll, you gotta do positive..POSITIVE…

The mid of 2015 was just as great as the start and maybe even better as I saw love like I have never seen before, the result of the most wonderful upbringing by the world’s best parents probably and innocence as pure as it comes. Time flew by and how to capture the moments? By pics or just storing them deep in my heart and guts. Thinking of it is overwhelming, well beyond my amateur writing skills and a small MB memory brain.

The next sickest thing is the stay in ALOFT before our full-time joining and it was just ROYAL. The food, the stay and the late night horror movies.. we just proved how cheap we are because 6-7 of us rolled on the floors and constant losing of roomkeys !!

If the start and mid of 2015 were a bang, they were nothing compared to the awesome ending of the year with a fitting farewell at Tap and with the best of the people.  The best NEW YEARS EVE of my life, damn I was so wasted and crazily happy without realizing the wrecking ball that’s coming at me like 2016 !! Ahh !! 

This feels like a pictorial tribute to 2015 but how best to express my happiness and gratitude in ways other than through digital proof of pictures where I am constantly with a smile?

My parents were super happy and proud of me and specially my mom was happy because she was receiving awesome gifts for her birthday, Teachers’ day, Mothers’ day and also Women’s  day !! :P 

I felt driven, purposeful and most importantly I got many answers. I had the best of the company anyone could ask for and every place in Bangalore seemed only one traffic signal away. The adventures I had on the streets of Koramangla including getting lost somewhere near Richmond circle and ending up in God knows where and eating at McDonalds by begging the guy to open for some more time…!! Tame yet so kicking !!! I really wished 2015 lasted a lifetime but time just like luck, fame and breath is ephemeral. All I could do was laugh like a dork when I think of those times and ctrl+alt+delete on my laptop to see those photos just another time.

I always knew I wasn’t good with endings. I never knew how to do it quick and clean. But I also know why, coz it is easy to think of an end, to picture it and to come in terms with it but extremely difficult to go through it. Same with many endings in life, ending of 2015 and also ending of this small blog post. My heart is telling me that there is so much more that needs a mention and that I should reminisce but my fingers won’t cooperate and nor will my practical mind. Maybe some stories are just left incomplete, letting you build upon them slowly and steadily.

In the meantime, lets end 2016 and wait eagerly for the next big thing to shake us up, shake us up !!!
