Hello Friends..Welcome Back to my world!!!!!

Hello friends. 

Hope all of you are doing great in your respective lives. It has been approximately 15 months since I communicated with you through my blog.

This was like an exile period for me as 2012 was one of the most forgettable year of my life and I am bit relieved that finally its over but not sure how much time it will take for its traces to disappear from my life. I am really thankful to all of you who stood by my side in this period and kept on listening to my rubbish talks with all the patience in the world and kept reminding me that I am not bad to that extent which I was made to feel. Many Thanks to all of you again.

With your efforts and best wishes I have gathered enough courage to start interacting with all of you again. First of all belated happy new year and happy holi to all of you in advance.

Last year was said to be the year where world will end and I was almost wishing for that but as the director of famous movie '2012' on this disaster was busy in making movie to release in 2013 so there was not even minute chance of becoming it a reality. Many of the english people made fool  of themselves by staying in bunkers or moving to mountains after selling their property but we Indians as usual were happy as even though it was end of world but it was free of cost. 

It was not entirely a rumor, there was end of world for many of my friends in 2012 and in early 2013. Don't take it in negative way. End of world is not always a bad thing if it results in start of new world. Many of my friends got married and thus an altogether new world started for them filled with new responsibilities unknown to them till now. Some of  the married friends became parents which again was like a start of new world in which responsibilites became more than doublefold giving them the taste of what their parents must have said to them many times when my friends were not listening to them  "You will come to know when you will become parents".  Remember this phrase?

Now its upon you to decide whether your old world was better or you are enjoying more in new world :). We as a friend can just say best of luck and keep on reminding you that life is no longer the same for you :).

I would like to use this medium to give my heartily congratulations to my friends who made their parents very happy by getting married in 2012/2013:

Many congratulation to the friends who promoted further by becoming parents and made their parents much happier by giving them their much awaited smaller version of you (Believe me wait starts as soon as you enter the world)

Many congratulations to those friends also who I missed in the lists above.

I am not sure whether rest of my friends who have almost finalized their life partners are comfortable in letting the world know or not so I will not disclose their names.

There are some of my friends lined up for becoming parents soon and again this might be confidential thing and I will not let their surprise known to you before them :).

Why to leave those friends who are happily managing their married life. Congratulations to those friends also who have completed their first anniversary or second, third and so on. Wish you make silver, golden or even platinum jubilee. 

My friends who are still bachelors I will just like to say best of luck in both the cases whether you want to get married or want to remain bachelor. Latter is much tougher thing as everyone around you will use every way possible to convince you to lose your bachelorhood but in the end its your decision.

I feel this post has become more of a newsletter and as it was a long time since I wrote so I 

thought of  dedicating this to the my priceless friends (in place of waiting till friendship day) as it is said "Friends are God's way of taking care of us" so friends please take care of yourselves and your friends and be in touch.

Before signing off, one small update from my side also. Please don't think otherwise, its nothing like linked to my marriage. Its for all of you who are not aware that I am back to Noida so whoever planning to come to noida or in noida and wish to meet then just drop an email or give me a call/sms (SMS in case if I don't pick up the phone) on +919717771457 and I would love to meet you.

Bye bye till my next post and thanks for reading it through.

I would love to see comments/updates from all of you.
