Breaths

It is said that the no. of breathes we take on this earth is preordained. Papa was known as American Singh in Airforce. He used to do 50km walk and was national champion in 1958. I Think i have the year right, but will check it anyways. When he left Madras, his senior wrote him a letter saying, remember Mr. Singh we all have only a certain no. of breathes on this earth, so don't walk too much or too fast, otherwise u will waste them faster.

New Year

Wish all the best in coming year to all of you.
The last year has been very emotional (may be the right word for it). It has seen the maximum ups and downs. First came the eye opener that your perception of people was wrong and the confidence built over the years came crashing down, and suddenly one started questioning everything, decisions etc. Then the illness of parents and suddenly life is very scary with all its responsibilities.And my holiday where I totally switched off from everything.
And somehow I can't use the word Happy in wishing everyone with the year ending and beginning on a sad note. There are very few people like Bhua ji but why did she have to suffer so much in the end is beyond my understanding. So just wishing everyone health and happiness .
