Numero uno.
I have landed. As the trillion-and-tenth person to have started weblogging, I am happy! My inspiration and constant support is my dearest friend Rahul who wouldn’t let me sleep till I showcase my penning abilities. The reasoning: the sentences I construct while fighting with him over chat/e-mail are burgeoning with lexical craftsmanship (or crafts”woman”ship, should I say?).
This post is dedicated to my mother. She inspired the first whole original literary work of mine. It was on the occasion of New Year’s day a few years back. She told me that she had plans to write a ‘season’s greetings’ poem to put up on the noticeboard at her work place. I was enthused. And that paved way to the genesis of “A year beginning”.
Yet another year is beginning here,
Goodbye to the glorious gone year!
There’s more to come let’s celebrate with cheer,
And welcome the dawn of a wondrous new year.
If we try our best to be simple and pure,
There’s nothing our hopes and efforts cannot cure.
Let’s pray for a year that’s peaceful and clear,
Search for our goals because they are all near.
Let’s gather around to share and endure,
Each moment of joy, each droplet of tear.
Let’s all resolve this year to love and endear,
For love can make life prosperous in every sphere.
This is not New Year’s day. But it is a new beginning for me, and for little ‘Enigma’, who is only 1 day old! It is a new beginning for all those who are looking for new hopes and new lives. Everyday is a new beginning.
Cheers!
