Wake up!

Bye bye 2011 and Hello 2012.Surely it has been memorable year for both pleasant and unpleasant happenings in my world and the world in general.To say it in a nutshell, 2011 has been year of realization that :

1.   Its always best to listen to your mother's advice (at least 97% of it) no matter how trivial it may be.
2.   What you want in life 5 years ago is not the same now
3.   Loneliness can be both devastating and liberating
4.   Independence is more a state of mind than materialistic and physical gains
5.   Tolerance and patience are two virtues which are a pain to practice especially when you are in a company which has no whatsover inkling to what it means.
6.   Talking to oneself is not weird - in fact its a good way to make your ideas and imaginations grow (of course don't do it publicly)
7.   Nothing and absolutely nothing can prepare you for the outside world. Its inevitable to get hurt,betrayed, trampled on and humiliated. Just remember the lessons and move on.
8.   You are not as good as you think you are- you've got to work hard for that.
9.   Its much harder to forgive yourself than forgiving others
10. True friends are to be respected and cherished and about the ones whom you thought are true just let go - grudges or disappointments are poisonous to one's mind and soul.
11.  A boy and a girl can never ALWAYS be JUST FRIENDS.A mutual romantic attraction WILL occur to either one.How you handle the situation determines whether the friendship goes on or goes out.Make your decisions carefully.
12.  Do not give shallow minded people too much of thought, its very demotivating.
13.  Driving may seem to be basic stuff but it does shit to your nerves (still have not overcome the fear of maneuvering the 4 wheeled monster)
14.  We complain that our parents are not gadget savvy but most of the gadgets were spearheaded by people from their generation (read Steve Jobs)
15.  You do not have to look far to see how badly the society has deteriorated...juz sign up for FB.

Since there is nothing more that I can think of at this moment, I will just end it here though I'm pretty sure lots more will crop up in my head AFTER I switch off my pc..sighs....I hate the workings of the brain sometimes.
