On the flip side, we celebrated our 1 year anniversary in the gorgeous Gir forests with aplomb! We saw lionesses, adorable cubs, and went to Somnath and saw the place where Sri Krishna had left his human form! I was able to visit Delhi every 1.5-2 months to hug Maxi boy silly. And I actually cooked for 20 people and the food was delicious for a change! And I baked like a person possessed till I realized that I was getting too fat eating all that gooey chocolate goodness, and stopped cold turkey.
It's been a very interesting year indeed!
As much as the voice in my head is telling me that I'm writing this post simply to bring up my post count for the year, I think a part of me (the non-cynical big part) is still super excited about new year resolutions and the fresh start a brand new year offers. Fresh start from what, you ask? From my own laziness. Yes I said it last year. And the year before. And I did succeed at becoming better to an extent. But the relapse after a couple of months is hard to conquer. No more. Here's to working out religiously, eating healthy (minimal added sugar, I'm already on a zero fried food diet), writing EVERYDAY (I can't afford excuses here - a few days without it and it all goes out of the window), going back to Bharatanatyam (the return has already been charted), meditating EVERYDAY (dillydallying doesn't get you anywhere), and sleeping lesser. Consistency will be my Mantra for 2016. Along with Zero Negative Thinking. The world of course is losing it more and more everyday. 2016 will also be a year of inner peace. After all, you can only spread what you've got :)
Here's to trying new things, being new things and living it up every single moment. Happy 2016 everyone :)
P.S. Looking forward to our vacation time too - a year that starts with an exotic holiday can only get better from there :).
