A new year

Starts tomorrow. A lot of people have been saying that this year shall be good, harbinger of good times and positivity. For everyone's sake, especially for those who say kali muththi pochu a lot, I wish it is the start of better times.

Personally, the past few months, though peppered with some good times here and there, have mostly been tough and in some instances harrowing. Perhaps my mom and I took some special boon to meet some ridiculous people and to land ourselves in situations so bizarre that most people would gawk to hear our accounts. But as a friend's dad told me some experiences, including the one where landlord asks me to marry his son and convert to his religion, are learning experiences. These are times we think enough of learning experiences lord.

Tomorrow signals a new beginning and I look forward once again with hope. After all as somebody said, when the mind says give up, it is hope that whispers, "try again".

But I do count my blessings. I have a great mom, I am healthy. Everything else is perhaps a matter of time. I am grateful for everything that has come my way, the lovely people who are with us at all times... Actually the recent past has shown us people who genuinely care. And that is priceless.

To you, the reader, I wish you good health. Everything else can be built if you are in prime health. I wish you prosperity. I wish you as much money as you would like. I wish you travel that enriches your being. I wish you lovely friends. I wish you a lovely, united family. I wish you love. I wish you peace and I wish you joy and contentment.

God bless. If you are an Atheist, I wish you be engulfed in positivity.

Tamizh puththaandu vaazhthukkal. And a happy Vishu.

இனிய தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள் to you too Chinmayi!

You have a big 'heart' - wishing all good things for us readers. And may you too be blessed in true sense by the Almighty God.

I have few lines to share with you - and perhaps, these lines were written for you?! These are extracted from the movie 'On A Clear Day' (1970):

Yves Montand:

"Why, Daisy, you're a bloody miracle...
Could anyone among us have an inkling or a clue
What magic feats or wizardry and voodoo you can do?"

"And who would ever guess what powers you possess
And who would not be stunned to see you prove
There's more to us than surgeons can remove
So much more than we ever knew
So much more were we born to do
Should you draw back the curtain, this I am certain
You'll be impressed with you."

Barbra Streisand:

"On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are...

On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear from far and near
A word you've never, never heard before...

And on a clear day... On a clear day...
You can see forever...
And ever...
And ever...
And ever more..."

May you 'truly' find out more 'Star Signs' of Truth and be blessed always..!

Wish you enough good things to focus on and put your energy into so you can move away from all these people that don't have to put you down.

Wish you a happy new year too,Chinmayee.
Could you please install a follow widget or an email subscription for your blog. I enjoy reading them but there seems to only be a twitter handle for staying connected which some of us might not be very regular with.

Cheers and regards,
Hemu
