I am usually on a hunt for metaphors, I just found mine which should sum the year rather well. I just went to the optician after a year and was told that the power in my right eye has reduced. I am less myopic. I am not as short sighted in my right eye.
And that would be the one line I would write to summarize this year.
So I have decided not to be as emotional as this. But I will write because I need to keep track of what I dealt with, what I achieved and what I lost.
I lost my wisdom tooth. Molar decay, I said.
Apart from that it is nothingness of a year that just flew by, where I struggled with decisions and revisions. And inflation. But that's not gonna change. 2006 was troublesome. 2007 was inconsequential.
Oh, I regained strength. And some of the lost faith. I got a new hairstyle, and I also gained some fashion sense. I now flaunt aviators. But I painted my toenails the same boring shade as last year and the year before.
I saw friends deal with change. I tried be there for them, and yet be still. I tried to keep a neutral perspective.
I wrote many emails. Read not as many books. Spent some time on facebook. Lost interest in orkut. Studied Spanish. Forgot my French. Penned irritating verses.
I forged new bonds. They are the same old people, but there is newfound strength in relationships. This should tide me over any trouble.
Into the third year of working, I had a terrible time at work. One, there was so called "lack of motivation". And then there were the super high expectations. Also, I can't seem to deal with the repetitiveness of this. It's just way too mundane.
Which is like 2007. Random. Mundane.
I have no idea what 2008 holds. But it shows promise.
And at least I am not as short sighted anymore.

I went to the optician after a year 2 weeks ago - and the astigmatism in my right eye has reduced.
How about that?
You are less blur?
Heh.
shortsightedness might not be such a bad thing tho..the ability to live in the moment, of not worrying, fretting abouot the future.. but maybe farsightedness is part of growing up.
A very happy new year to you.
Ah, you are right. Perhaps, why everyone keeps telling me to "grow up"
That will be the content of the next post.
Yappy new year to you too.
