There are realizations and then there are realizations. Here are some of mine –
My yearly post count has been a multiple of 12 for the last 3 years. In 2006, it was 36, dropped to 24 in 2007 and then last year, all I managed was 12! Check out the sidebar and see the archives for yourself… I wonder how things will be in the year 2009!
Life isn’t a bed of roses. But avoiding a lot of thorns is in my hands. My brother writes something to this effect in his profile on his blog. I realised how true this was. In hindsight, it is always easy to see where you should have swerved to avoid the ditches on life’s path. I realise that I have sometimes walked with my eyes closed… I still do
I can speak! Yay… I used to be a good orator in school… participated in a lot of competitions and won a couple as well… but somewhere down the line, lost the touch. It seems to be coming back slowly, the ability to hold an informed opinion and air it aloud. I dial in to radio shows fairly regularly and go on air as well… and I love it! Perhaps I should have listened to the tiny voice that always said “APPLY” whenever I read invites for RJ auditions
I miss mom. Missing home has become synonymous with missing mom. I don’t mean to say I don’t miss dad and bro. I do. But the proportions just don’t compare! Its gonna be a year soon, and the tears still wont stop. I can’t look at my Wedding pics without getting nostalgic or the video without crying. I made a collage out of some wedding pics and cried like hell all throughout it. Mostly, whenever I looked at her
GM diet is NOT a wonder diet. I diet for the first time ever in my life and was a bit let down actually. After all the glorified reviews, I was perhaps too expectant. Sigh…
Its is great to have old friends walk back into your life and pick up from where they left off… a true blessing it is, to have friends with whom you are completely unmindful of pretences
A lot that they say about marriage is true, and a lot is not… it’s like a buffet where you lay out the spread and pick and choose different things at different times. Whatever be, it needs effort…
I can plug earphones into my ears, put on some great music and be lost forever, anywhere…

I hope you write more this year. It is a medium of sharing, and sharing has never harmed anyone, has it? Our no. of posts have been dwindling over the years...so don't worry about the count. Just write as and when you feel like it.
Wow! I am very bad when in comes to public speaking, so I really admire the talent in one. If you have the inclination towards it, I'd say "go for it!" Wish you luck!
Its been so long since I have stayed away from home, that I am now very used to it. Once in a while I get pangs of homesickness...but can't help it! Maybe that the reason I dont feel marriage has changed anything for me.
I have tried GM diet once...but couldn't go beyond the 4th day. More than the weight loss, I feel its an excellent way to cleanse one's body. But I am surrounded by food lovers so I find it hard to resist good food around me :(
Life is indeed not a bed of roses, but we can try remove the thorns as much as possible.
Your yearly post count is spooky :P But this linear decline better start moving the other way as you are an excellent blogger.
Your brother should ask for copyright $$ for you putting the roses-comment as your chat status :P
RJ-ing always remind me of Vidya Balan and her "Good Morningggg Mumbai"
Nice post to start the New Year.
With start of the year your "R" post came :P
Previous years it you used to post "Resolutions" but this year "Realisations" so so dear the "R" is here to comment :D
hmmm what to say about the decreasing the post every year. It's very bad. Very Poor! Do hard labour to obtain the previous score and get back the same position. :P
BTW, you know what when I noticed my side bar on 1st Jan after posting the post then.... then... I've decided something..... hope you understand it :)
Yes, I agree with you that "Life isn’t a bed of roses but we have to remove the throne to live better life."
And I'm not a good speaker.... but I do love to communicate people. :P
Missing Ma and home! It's been a part of life :(
I never have to have watch my diet. Thank god!
Of course, old friend are gold. I miss my school friends a lot :-(
And of course music is also my weakness. :)

A wise post! Maybe you really should listen to your tiny voice, it is there for a reason after all!
