As 2014 is fast running out of days and 2015 is inevitably drawing near, it's been chaos at Karthi. Lots of year-end activities to be accomplished before we can usher in the New Year. New folders opened, old folders put away... Cupboards purged... Trash burned... Exams dealt with... The inevitable colds and fevers tided over...
And here we are on Xmas eve. This is where we take a few days off the internet and social media. It's a time for regrouping, time to spend with the family, time to spend some time in solitude with our own souls. A time for celebration and at the same time, a time to fall back a little in order to spring forth with more energy.
This has been a wonderful year at Karthi - a year of discovery of purpose, creative fun, some good stress - yes, a little stress is beneficial - you might have heard the story of the tiny shark left in containers of fish to keep them alive till the deep-water fishermen reach the shore?
So au revoir, my dear readers, till we meet again in the New Year. There will be times in the coming year too when it seems all life is a long hustle...
When it will seem that everyone is out to get you...
Or you feel completely out of your element...
Some days will bring utter chaos...
And you may feel that life is running away from you...
There might be days when you decide discretion is the better part of valor...
And days in which you have no energy left to take it any more...
But hey, that's when the fun begins! After that good rest, you get up and wade in again...
ride the waves any way you can...
and be the lord of your domain once again...
So for the coming new year, I wish all of you plenty of joy and enough good stress and challenges to make you feel alive. Have fun and adventure in 2015! And even in the midst of all the chaos surrounding you, may you have the ability to touch the immutable core of peace that is always inside you...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
(All in the course of a quiet morning at Varkala beach.)
