Birthday Blog

Well well Happy Birthday to ME! Technically my birthday was yesterday the 30th of December but what the hell it’s still my Birthday in Hawaii!!!!
Yup, there it was another birthday of mine just kind flew by.
It was okay I suppose nothing grand, just a lot of chitchat, family stuff, loads and loads of text messages and for a change I was on the receiving end! My birthday kind of also means another calendar year has also come to an end and so the usual pattern of reviewing the year gone by and a kind of previewing the year ahead also follows. It’s all a part of living, not life necessarily, but living.
Anyways in rear view: the accomplishments of year are nothing major but mostly consisted of toiling through schoolwork for three grueling semesters and finally pulling up my CGPA above three! Also one of my stories was published in the Star weekend magazine so that was pretty cool. Oh and I discovered the joy that is blogging which in urn meant that I wrote a lot of poems although I must say I could do better. We shifted house, again. I am glad I got to do a lot of reading in the past few months.
Tomorrow I am headed off to Chittagong where I hope to have a much needed ‘do nothing’ holiday. Well…hopefully next year will be the answer to my prayers (Insha ‘allah). I just hope I get to do all the things I have plans to do and first in the list is to complete my degree with enough grace. Definitely try to spend more time writing. And if I catch a glimpse of the African dancer I hope I have enough courage to follow him to my dreams. Another year is another promise, a beginning and a continuation, an empty canvas, a page yet to be filled with words. But most of all it is about life, not living, just life. To Be is To Live.
