Year 2017 at a glance
Before the flight of 2017 takes off and
land on the runway of 2018, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of
them who formed an integral part of my life in 2017.
 |
| GoodBye 2017 and Thanks for all memories! |
A genuine
wish of prosperity, good health, fortune for all beautiful and supportive
people out there who in spite of miles away from me keep motivating me through
their good wishes and blessings....without which I would have never grown
strong and independent enough to face the battles of life.. words will always
fall short to showcase my gratitude to them.. consider it as my humble attempt
to thank you all.. 
It proved to be a great
year for me providing me a mix of failures and success. Whenever I felt down
with the failures the unexpected moment of happiness replaced the feeling of dejection
that each failure produced. I learnt an important lesson of nurturing the
feeling of patience and hope that the best is yet to come. This feeling kept me
going and helped me to successfully get over tough times. I started few habits
this year and the significant one being; enlisting success, failures and wishes
to fulfil in future within a deadline (in my personal diary) as Counting blessings make life more worthy
of living.I’ve
always believed in happy endings, so I’m only going to mention those tasks
which I managed to accomplish this year.
“Even if
most days can’t be half as good as today, it’s days like this that make it all
worth it.”

Currently I’ve completed the 3rd
semester of post graduation in Power Electronics, waiting for another semester
to complete this degree. I’ve a job offer in my hand now yet I want to explore
more in the field of my expertise.
I don’t know if I’ve utilised each set of
86400 seconds of 365 days well but all I can say is that it proved to be a very
happening year for me in its own way. I learnt that the company of oneself can
be very very addictive! I realised the importance of hobbies to break the
monotonousness of life. Then my sincere attempt was to keep myself engaged in various
activities lest my mind should turn into a devil’s workshop. There’s so much to
accomplish in days to come and miles to go before I sleep!
Signing off for 2017 now! I
hope that your experience of 2017 would have been as much exciting as that of
mine.
