2014.
Nikhil : Mr. Co-author! You have been more a guide and friend to me. Its all about the vibes as i say. And they were right with you, somehow that is why it clicked. I remember the time you asked me to collaborate with you on a project, my instant reaction was Are you like serious? Writing a book! From then till now, it has been so good. You are a very nice and dedicated guy. Thank you for believing in me and my work and also encouraging me.
I had read somewhere no matter how many people you meet or how many places you see, you might change but your Core remains the same. So True. The year and date has changed, but still we are the same. You dont change with the passing year, as people say : This year i'll change for good or bad or whatever! Do people change? Can you ever actually change?
I am back on my blog after a long time. Things have been keeping me busy and most of all, i didn't feel like writing. Not the professional one but for my blog. Writing here is more of choice rather than duty for me. A time had come when i was doing and struggling for things on my own that i almost went into a shell and didnt want to share it.
But now, am here. It has nothing to do with " New Year, New Start " theory. I don't believe in it. I did maybe till last year, but not now. You always have reasons to believe something.
2013 was a special year. I have been reading and talking to people where they tell that it was a terrible one and they surprisingly curse it. I also had my amount of problems and hardships, some of which were really bad. But the truth is every bad and the best comprises who you are today. So, instead of being sorry or sad about the fact why it happened to you, thing of those infinite things which could happen but then they just didn't.
Everyday you learn from life. Its a strict teacher. The most important thing i learnt in 2013 is the fact that if you work hard for it, you will reach there and get it.
2013 started on a good note. Semester started on an average note. Engineering as i always say seems like a solid rock to me ; Yes! That hard. Just on the next day when my semester exams got over, I went to Delhi. A whole new thing was waiting for me : Russia! Your first foreign experience is always memorable for you. Plus, this was more amazing. Going to a whole new place alone, on your own. The one and a half month internship experience taught me so much. One of the best things in 2013 was surely this experience.
And then came the book! Well, we are still working on it, but it is definitely one thing which has my heart into it. I never thought writing a book will happen so soon, but i feel so good and proud that it did.
These are all the good things. There are umpteen number of things bundled along with these two. Met some amazing people.
With good comes little bad as well. But that seems so little or minute when i look at the good things!
I feel so blessed and loved. 2013 was amazing !! I have realized one thing. You never have time as such to thank people in your life who do so much for you. I'm also the same. But all those i can think of right now, i want to thank them. Genuinely!
First and foremost : My Parents and my brother. I have never come across anyone as cool and liberal as them. Sending me all alone to Russia was difficult. They believe i'm a kid and sending your child abroad when you yourself don't have a passport at the moment, you can imagine how it would be. But they never even once stopped me. I had filled up all the forms, gone for applying the visa on my own, literally did everything on my own. They had no clue till the end what i was upto. But they believed in me and encouraged me to go. I love you , no matter what. Thank you for supporting me.
Atankshu: The first thing i think about the last year of the bad times, is the time when i was hospitalized in Beijing. It was terrible. No money in pocket and already admitted in an international hospital. It would always be less of how much I thank you. Russia happened because of you, you were the one who initially forced me to fill up the form. 2013 was one of the best years with you. I cant write about you. I don't know what all to write about you, you already know everything. Thank you for being there for me always.
Amanpreet Kamboj : It seems so weird writing your complete name. Hahaha ! Anyways, you became my friend in 2013, and now it feels like ages. You have been with me through thick and thin. I can just say thank you to you. You have been a rock solid support throughout and may 2014 be more amazing and fruitful for our friendship.
Mridul : I remember talking to you for the first time and thinking " Umm.. He's not that bad as i imagined him to be! " Well, You became my friend when things were going rough and i needed someone to be with. I tell you, we shared a lot and what we share now is something i value a lot. You have been there for me before i could ask for help. Thank you Mridul!
Jas: Its been few months only now, that i've known you. What all you did for my birthday, from the cake to the video, i was amazed. I never imagined someone could put in so much just to make the other one feel special and happy. You're such a sweet girl and so down to earth. Its wonderful to have you as my friend. Thank you. You made my birthday memorable!
Piyush : I dont know what went wrong, or has. But i read somewhere " When you know things have started getting hard in any relationship, its better to let it be and leave it rather than making the memories bitter ". I know no matter what, you'll always be there for me and that feeling is mutual. Thank you for being there for me. You'll always be special to me and trust me when i say that.

Nikita: Coming to Delhi and spending time with you was so wonderful. I remember the day before i had to leave for Russia, Delhi was already so much fun. From shopping to watching " Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani " First day Third show. Hahaha.. Thank you for comforting me and making the time memorable.
Ashmin, Manveer, Sairish, Sanjana, Hitesh, Varun, Lipsa, Anshu, Bharat, Claire, Seerat : Thank you for putting a smile on my face. I may not have said it then, but now when i think of 2013, i think of you guys being there for me whenever i needed you!
And a special Thank you to all my friends back there in Russia. Thank you for making me feel at home. The time spent with you was amazing and will be in my heart forever!

Life is too short to complain and sit back crying for things. Love, respect and acknowledge people who have been with you. Don't wait for an occasion to do that. And probably for the one's who make new year resolutions, make sure you fulfill them as well and for the other ones like me, I have promised myself to be more focused, consistent and thankful to God for everything rather than asking for more.

Chahatein toh vahin hai joh pehle thi, tareekh se chah nahi badalti ! "
