I got myself a MacBook Pro (thanks to my parents, and brother for wanting a laptop for himself) which I had been dreaming of owning for a few years. In related news Steve Jobs decided to leave Apple, and well the rest we know too well. Another reason 2011 has been dreamlike is because well I have been doing well for myself, getting good grades in college, making a few good friends in the process, and trying to make sense of where I want to be when I complete my MBA (less than 6 months left to it). To summarize it has been a amazingly satisfactory year - personally, professionally, and materialistically. There was no love or break up in this year, so yes, more amazing than satisfactory :) 2011 was a dreamy year.

We always used to fight even on the silliest issue, you can ever imagine. I always wanted him away from my life and hated him more than anything. Last year, in July 2011, I needed a huge sum of money to book my flat. I never discussed this with my brother. I never wanted him to help and I was sure, he would also not wish to help. I dropped the plan of buying a flat. Ten days later my account got topped up with the amount I required. I was surprised and worried about, who made this transaction. I rushed to the bank and realized it was my brother. The amount was more than 80% of his savings. Tear rolled on my cheek right away and made this moment an unforgettable one, not only of 2011 but of my entire life. I never had good terms with my brother.

An year that brought me together with my 91' royal enfield and fiat Palio-my first car, A promotion at work. Unfortunately had the latter 2 come any earlier, it would've had a totally different significance. Be that as it may, 2011 is an year that has basically been before June22nd-July 7th. World was still a beautiful rosy place with everything to look upto, when June 22nd brought a turmoil in the form of an accident that snatched away a pillar of my strength, my dad! 16 days of my life was spent sheer helplessness against HIS will. All I could do then was to pray, pray and finally ask GOD to have mercy on dad. Looks like God sought the easier way to do so and took him away. 6 months post July has been time that's got me into absolute mute mode. A shell I'm now trying to break away from.  Will I, won't I ?  Honestly, I don't know and don't bother any longer. All I want to do now is to be the best son to my mom and a responsible brother to my sister.  It's not about me anymore. Is it? 2011 was an year of dichotomy of emotions for me.

Heartbroken I was and was going through a mental trauma and on top of it, my country's situation was in eternal jeopardy. I was looking for a reason to smile, to think positively and to look forward to life (in whatever way it unfolds to me) and God has given me reasons to look forward, to move ahead and embrace life. I found the truth of being. Self-actualization pleasantly haunt my way. My first ever independent travel in my 28 years of life. I traveled and tried 2 sports which completely change the perspective of 'life' itself for me. At first when i started Paragliding and the instructor taught me the basics of kiting, I was so hopeless that I will not be able to do it ever. Because I cannot spread my shoulders that wide, but I did. In fact I was the best in the group. And the second sport which happened to be the life-turning event was Cliff Diving. A dive from 40 ft. right into the big, deep, blue lake, while you know that the pressure of falling on to the waterbed can burst my life jacket and i don't know swimming. Whoaaa. I thought about it only for once and I thought 'so-what? Even if I die, it would mean that I destine to die this way' the first ever lesson of faith. and I survived, I spent couple of hours lying on the biggest ever waterbed. Thinking, crying, smiling and laughing all to myself. It changed. Changed Me. Hence, this was the year when I discovered the power of FAITH and power of LIFE. 2011 was really not a good year for me.

I took decisions that I never thought I would take. Its also the year when my mum and I became 'facebook friends' and a lot closer than what I would have imagined us to be.
