notes on a year end…..
Got a question from an interested party as to why I stopped writing. Didn’t have the guts to answer it but there was a reason. Have decided to forego that reasoning and put hand to the keyboard again. Angelic intervention 
It does feel rather good, must admit, to be creating after so long.
Am on my travels. ‘Wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home’, as Paul Young crooned a couple of decades ago. Trained a truckload of folk. All was well.
Sitting in the foyer of the firm waiting for my ride to the hotel. Need to do a rushed packing job and hotfoot it to the airport.
There is a rather huge Christmas tree here. Well decorated, kinda. Two pleasant receptionist cum secretary types sit chatting about life and its inconsistencies. The aged security guard, who one would think was well past his securing prime, sits waiting for the odd visitor to come in and sign his visitors book, giving him a chance to spring up and get his five minute place in the tubelight while advising of fire alarms, evacuation methods etc.
Across from me are two men in deep discussion. One is a colleague and the other seems to be a salesman of some sort as he is talking offers, discounts and charges. Insurance maybe? Interesting to see the interaction, the salesman guy looking quite eager in making his pitch and the recipient of his eagerness looking rather interested. Snake charmer n cobra, in an nice, harmless way, of course.
All is well with my world.
Nice, swanky office this. Am a mite jealous of this environ as the one I work in is nothing this funky. Met a couple of nice chaps who seemed pleased to be in my sessions and I didn’t even bribe them, imagine that !
So, another year draws to a rather rapid close. Again.
If nothing else, 2009 is the year I began blogging so that is quite monumental a happenin for me. Onward and upward !
Have a good one, you….

Nice post C! A doubt though,were you trying to convey the message to someone out there that all is well with you? May you be able to leave us with more thought provoking creations in this 2010.Have a great year ahead,living meaningful lives in reverent fear!

2010. so what is different from 2009? it takes time to fill up the dates on the cheque book. in couple of days it will be fine. but do you really need to celebrate it the way people celebrate? then why not every month end or maybe weekend or day end? ha.. changing years being celebrated is a lot of humbug..brought to this level of frenzy by the commerical angle of it and nothing much.
never used to celebrate it and but wished all those who celebrate it, so as to make them happy. after all my last words every day ” oh almighty, let all love me and let me love and respect all others”.
This is an excuse for many to keep it same till the end. ‘ya, we’ve time till last week of dec’..but you ask any hard working, family loving business-man trying to keep the ends together, he will have nothing to do with this!
if you look at the celebrations which go by the books, you will see that they have an angle for giving away..but this is just a waste of time,energy and lot of aspirin!
Happy New Year and welcome back! Hiatus’s are good, gets the juice flowing again huh. Happy to read you C!
