Happily ever after

Health's better, luck's better, and wealth will soon be on its way.
This will be a good year. I smell it in the breeze.
So what if the breeze is just from the AC vents at office?
I still smell it.
There's actually an ending.
After years of hunting for it, I've finally found my ending.
And the best part?
It's actually got a link with the beginning.
Sigh.
I'm so scared to burst this bubble.
So I'm going to hold it just right, stay just so still, move just ever so slightly,
And watch it grow in all its rainbow wonderment and childlike glee.

I miss

I miss Class XI. I miss that year. If there was any year I could go back to and live all over again, it would be the school year 2000-01. If there is any year that I look back on and remember tonnes of fun, and immense peace of mind, lots of little successes and a dozen great friends, its the year I was in Class XI.

Sometimes I wish I could go back there - where the only stress was exams (and hell, in retrospect, I liked giving them). And I wonder if life can ever be like that again. I don't know if it can. But it's nice to imagine.

Neverland, Wonderland - do we ever really grow out of those places? Will fairy tales ever cease to matter? Will Santa Claus ever feel like just another marketing gimmick. I hope not.

Class XI was one of those years when everything turned out just fine in the end. 2009 just doesn't have the same touch to it. Hopefully, 2010 will be a whole new story.
