New year’s are extra-ordinary & brings in the zeal to start afresh! Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Before we already get busy with January let’s have a quick recap of the year you had. Would you say, ” It’s been a long year and it’s gone by in a wink of an eye”. Did it seem long or is it before even you realized the year is over? Some moments feel like never ending but just when its about the best times, every hour feels like a second.

If I ask you to express one word for this year what would it be ?

One way to look back is scrolling through the pictures and videos that you took with the people you met this year. Have you ever noticed?

• By end of the year people become kinder and they want to end the year on a good note !
• By the end of the year time has healed old wounds…
• By the end of the year you lose few people & you gain few….
• By the end of the year your emotions are stronger than before…
• By the end of the year you are ready to explore the newer version of you with new determinations & goals…

A new life begins while another year ends….

To start with January, you must have had a fresh beginning with holidays & new determinations. It’s a month to start new aspirations and finish the pending task from the previous year. A time of enjoying the season & transition of the year. Sun is brighter and life seems full of hope.

“Dear Past, thank you for all the lessons. Dear Future, I am ready.”

February is the month of love, you may have had a beautiful candle light dinner, or went through a heart-break. This month is dedicated for lovers and relationships. As much as we celebrate there can be people who feel isolated. Cheers! to the ones who are mending their ways without cribbing about life problems, may you get your soul-mate soon.

“We didn’t realize we were making memories. We just knew we were having fun.”

March is crucial and serious amongst the months. Its the time of boards, semesters and appraisals. The financial year end is so important for professionals & for students its a month for exams. How much invested were you in March? Could you achieve what you aimed for?

“Little moments, big memories.”

April brings in passion and motivates you to expand your boundaries. Its the month to learn and grow in life. A month to take up new hobbies, to brush up talents and to have your to-do-list for the year. You have had already entered the fourth month by now. A month of gratitude for the life you have.

“New month, new intentions, new goals, new love, new light, and new beginnings.”

May is super because it’s the time for summers. Holidays can be planned and this time of the year brings you a long awaited summer break. Kids travel back to home-town, people go out for trips & it’s the perfect time for the beaches.

“These are the days we try to recreate.”

June the beginning of the sixth month, you are already half way through the year. You may be rushing on because its time for your mid-year reviews. Boards pass-outs are finally going to have their first day of college. Half a year gone before we even realize.

“I still can’t believe this happened!”

July & August the hustle continues, you may have moved into a new city, or again experiencing life changes. People who were good to you at the begining may have a slight change of behaviour, and you may be stressing out for the unfinished job.
