October, the 22nd!

Sometimes you just can't stop smiling. Not because you've conquered the world, but because things have gone according to your 'plan', if at all there exists one! Sometimes the feeling doesn't sink in till you actually pinch yourself. 'Is it for real?' 'Nah!'... 'Yah?!'

*smiles, again*

I guess god has been very kind. Wishes have helped and prayers have been answered.

So what does a Son do when he starts the 'responsible' phase in his life? He takes out his mother for a date.

Thanks Ma! It's been all because of you.

L

Life is all about milestones. The places you cross, to the places you reach. And at every milestone you leave behind an indelible mark. A mark that says you've been here, and moved ahead. Some milestones are worth remembering, some easily forgotten. However, there are those which lie in the twilight zone- those that are not 'universally' significant, but you tend to remember them for a particular reason. For one, I remember my first 'F' in Hindi. And the time when I had kicked a dog. Milestones, they were!

For most of us, as we like to call ourselves 'simple', the milestones can be easily translated as a mark of success. Then there are those occasions which have a profound effect on you, a major check point of sorts, but we don't like to bring them under the purview of the milestones. They remind us of loss, of failure and of everything NOT nice. They do make you learn, though. And for that very reason, they are a check point for me!

Looking back, it's been a good time on Blogosphere for me. More than anything, writing has been therapeutic. It has made me more expressive and learned- I do read the masters' blogs, I do! A good 50 posts in a span of 16 months have made the journey worthwhile. A milestone, again, for yours truly.

I hope to look back at my 99 posts when I reach the next milestone with utmost content and satisfaction. Insh'allah! like the journey hitherto, the sojourn ahead proves to be an exciting ride.

Let's get rolling then, shall we?

The fireflies shone bright. The hum was a dulcet.
They came, they went. They saw, might I add?

The stage is set, and determination sores.
The pride shall not be hurt.

Shampati has risen to make its mark!
