Yes...

Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I want to start all over again.

Flashback

• Moved to Hong Kong. This place is good. Living by myself is surely an awesome experience.
• MBA thought on stand by.
• Passed CFA level 1 with flying colors and level 2 is on the radar. It has kept me busy.
  
• Relationship...eh... Ok I would say. I have been dreaming about past and future of "good times". But thats just me.
• Work. AWESOME. And there is more to come. Really excited!
• People I interact with here are different. Some fantastic, some annoying. I am learning something new nevertheless.
• Brothers marriage on the cards sometime next year. I am wondering how are they going to pull it off. Would be interesting to see.

While I was going through my earlier posts, I realized that I have been the most active (and apparently happier n expressive) when I was doing nothing besides work. That makes me think, may be its time I slow down and just concentrate on work. May be that will give me time to do other interesting things and inshallah blog about them.

Away

I know I have been away from this page for a while. Until few months back, I used to make a point to blog at least once a month, just to keep the ball rolling. But that died since Hong Kong came into the picture, when technically, it should have been an opportunity to write more!

Anyways, whatever led me to get back at this page today, I took some time off to read some of earlier blog posts of mine. And I feel they are wonderful. It was so nice of me to pen down those thoughts, which could have easily been lost in this past paced life.

I think I am back...

Strength

New year... new thoughts... new resolutions... new values? Not really.
Over the years, I have seen people liking other people for what they do, what have they done in life. Very few people appreciate others for the way they think. Some are even subjected to mockery of others. Why is it that ideals for one are subject of humor for others?

I just feel lonely with my values. But should I really be feeling that way? I know I am not wrong. This is what I have been told. This is what is correct. This is for the "greater good". Why should I bend my ways? I am too strong? Of course I am. This is who I am. A part of my being, my identity. I need not compromise on this. That would kill what I am.

I need strength to carry on. A voice telling me, its not what you have done, but its what you are. And what you have done is just a consequence of what you are. I have support of people who will be behind me come what may. So why should I leave the side of what is correct. Whatever has happened, has happened for good. There is absolutely nothing to feel intimidated of. If it doesn't happen, too bad for me. But I will be glad that I kept trying.
