The Ramparts of 2012

Time! on whose arbitrary wing
The varying hours must flag or fly,
Whose tardy winter, fleeting spring,
But drag or drive us on to die
--To Time, Lord Byron, 1812

Post # 46 - 2012

A year, like never before and surely never like the ones that will come after it, is finally coming to a close. It has been the most challenging year of my life and has transformed it in ways that i couldn't possibly have imagined.

That apart, i've enjoyed the relocation, meeting with fellow bloggers - 3 of them this year, 2 of whom i've written about, the well-laden sub-cultural aspects of this tinsel town, unlimited dreams, endless possibilities and a whole lot more.

As we stand at the doorway of another year - i do not wish to envision it as merely another new beginning, but a continuum that will bring us happiness, compassion, love and timelessness.

A humble mention of my anchorage-extraordinaire, in spirit, in soul, for whom my gratitude is unbound - CD, thank you for everything.

  6. Indeed, Krish. Quite some learnings there! 2013, for me, like you too, will be a year of making up - time and a whole lot more.

    Thanks very much and wishing you the very best - nothing less.

    1. Thank you so much! Quite similarly, 2012 wasn't one bit a year that i liked and so 2013 coming about has had me relieved no end!

      Thanks very much for your kind and thoughtful wishes which i heartily reciprocate and thank you also for your comments.
