As the year grows old...

It is again that time of the year when the nights are long and days short, when sweaters are in fashion and when all we can do is eat and sleep. Another year is coming to an end and we now face a much discussed and anticipated 2012!
Celebration is in the air. After a merry merry Christmas the world now is looking towards welcoming the new year in their own different ways.
Some are heading home for family reunions.
Some have been invited to the parties that happen all over the place and some are inviting people to their own parties.
The freebies plan to hit some club and dance themselves into the wee hours of January the first.
And there are also those who plan for a quiet evening with a select few.
Meanwhile, 2011 looks back at its younger self realizing that it now has to come an end.
It looks back at how it had been the star of the moment this very minute last year.
It looks back at the chilly first month when people kept writing '10 at the end of the date by mistake.
It looks back at the 28 breezy days.
It looks back at the 3 months when the sun had been merciless and how the temperatures had broken a few more records.
The showers of June, July and August that made everything look freshly bathed.
September had been pleasant and the October heat a little hotter than usual.
November had grown steadily cold and finally the winter of its life, December when it would soon become past.

The year looks back at those 365 days which had brought a new touch to all our lives. It will soon only be written by mistake in the dates and 2012 will begin its journey.

So this post is to every year that passes by without a word but considerably changing all of us. It could be a small change or a big one but at the end of every year I do look back at how I had been in the beginning and realize I have grown a little.
And almost always I realize that I never kept my New year resolution. So once again lets start making resolutions only to break them later on.
Hope you have a very happy new year!
