I have been penning this note and editing this many many times now. Rewriting sometimes and editing the others. No matter how long i take to write or how many times i edit this, i am sure this is going to be far from perfect.Since most of the family has seen their 80th birthday in their lifetime, i am taking for granted that i get to see mine too. Under that assumption i have crossed my half innings and more.
Call this an evaluation or a thanks note ? I don’t know. But the very thought of penning something like this was very interesting. Took me down my memory lane.
In the balance sheet of life the negative side has the following :
- A bad marriage
- Relatives who bad mouthed
- Loved ones who back stabbed
- Trusted pals who cheated
But, i am yet to see someone who has not faced the above list in their lifetime. So just decided to have a look at the other side of my balance sheet. The list follows :
- Nature like parents
- Guardians who thought for me
- Son like my mirror image
- Kids like the stars to look forward to
- Friends who understand my silence
- God sent angels all the time
- A partner to hold hand and nag for the second half of my life
Material
- Certificates to fill an A4 sheet
- A Phd in Dance
- Dance productions to my liking
- A national award
- An author
- A state assignment
And yes the pride that the boat was kept afloat and rowed till date in style
