New year is here and I hope this year brings in the change we always look for and which always seems to fall short..the new year is like a clean slate , we can make this year into whatever we would like it to be- good , bad, ugly..err not ugly, I hope! So let us do our very best and work towards this year being the most productive year of our life!! I know that is going to be my resolution! I plan to outdo myself…try hard even if it means going to the brink , to the precipice..and hopefully not fall off the cliff trying

With that bit of optimism, here’s something I want to share ( with permission from author)- this is from a dear friend of mine, who happens to be my classmate from IIT Kanpur, and who is a senior executive in a Technology firm might I add We fondly call him Ramki.

Ramki this is dedicated to you!!

[In the spirit of re-living the lost pleasure of writing letters, minus the handwriting]

To,

A few more tears of happiness listening to soulful music,
A little more tiredness as you work yourself towards a worthy goal,
A few more thoughts towards the plight of the less fortunate,
A little less annoyance at the machinations of the keepers of power,
A few more hearty conversations with your best friends(for life),
A lighter load of worries of the past and anxieties for the future,
An increased zest in the service of those whom you love unconditionally,
An increased responsibility towards the world which made you,

From,

The blessings of those who helped you be what you are, and
The company of those who truly make you live your life to the fullest,

Subject: to the best of health, happiness and fun,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I humbly request your New Year visit you, and stay all year long!

as ever,
Ramki
