Chop Chop - 2013

Its 2013 and like every year - this one has gotten off to a meandering start. That's a welcome slowdown considering the kind of year 2012 was - much like the runaway song of the year - Gangnam Style.        

The past year was packed with so much activity that I can't actually believe it whizzed past so soon. This considering we're almost two weeks into the new year is reason enough to declare it a sizzler of a year. Experiences ranging from hitting absolute rock bottom to stagnant mediocrity to atmospherically high(literally) were had. That said - the clincher would have to be that the year began and ended on a vacation; a long one at that.

The standout of 2012 though would have to be my time in India in the final two months of the year. Barely missing having my name struck off the Family ration card - I got home in November 2012 and it has been one long party ever since; endless rounds of catching up with friends, acquaintances, relatives happened and fellow bloggers were met in real time. 

Doomsday dinner was had while the 2012 movie was played and laughing about how a thriller movie changed genres into something comic never got tiring. Ushering in of the new calender year by switching off the mobile phone and tucking in early was a welcome change after years, if not decades of going sleepless on the last day of the year and sleeping through most of the first day of the new year.

Amid all this - counting down the days left for the dreaded return to the airport while reminiscing the wonderful vacation that just went by and hoping for the earliest possible return home is probably what makes a tin chested robot such as myself human.

The only thing left to add is - Happy New Year and Chop, Chop - for 2013 is here.
