Hello 2009, With a Smile

2008 ended,  few Hours back,

I find myself  without inspiration.

Trying hard to summarize the years gone by,

Was it a loss or was it a sensation?

Learned the similarity between projects and  Pregnancy

During my stay  in New Jersey, In January.

The useless tension of an ending relation,

In Feb, I screwed up unnecessarily. 

March, I came back 

realised  home is perhaps the best place. 

April, May there was so much time to  rest,

at home and its best when at Office. 

June, on a project back to Jersey ,

which ought to be completed

perhaps only on  God's Mercy. 

July, August found  new  Friends, 

and  we said this will gone on 

till the silver river ends. 

September, on a flight back  home 

realised even  with Friends, 

away I have never felt so  alone. 

October, with a broken a little finger

bought a house on which Mom said

without a Wife, She will not allow me enter.  

November, Lost my  Dearest Granddad

And things remain never same again,

How fortunate we were to be brought up by him

and how unfortunate I was to be not there with him.

I was aspiring high, 

New Role and New challenges at work,

Made me work hard and Struggle

and December, I found myself in deep trouble. 

So Much was my misery that my Dear Friend 

Suggested to read Dale Carnegie

and 'To Stop worrying and Start Living'.

And that's my new Year  resolution,

to learn to live one day at time with no illusion.

Dear God, may thy faith remain in me, 

Believe in me as I will strive, 

to keep a  simple life with no women or wine. 

Help me cover this another mile

and I will keep My words, I promise 

with a (devilish) Smile.
