Nemesis nostalgia...

Hmmmm, I’ve been reminded that we are entering a new year, with many changes in our future. No one knows exactly how these changes are going to take shape and impinge on our living. So, it’s the 14^th of April and, every person out there must be making merry and welcoming the New Year.

This year (2009-2010) is called the ‘VIRODHI’ (yea, you read it right) varsham. I can see what you’re thinking!! And I propose my counter.

The 60-year cycle of the Tamil Calendar with the same name and sequence of years and this year happens to be the virodhi varsham 2009-2010(Georgian calendar).

April 13th marks the journey of the Sun from Meena to Mesha, in the Zodiac. This is commonly called ‘Sankranthiya”.(courtesy granma)

Now, getting back to the name of the year…. So, virodhi literally means, ‘enemy’. So has it something to do with overpowering enemies??

I wouldn’t completely agree on that. Like someone said

 “If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere”  

And I say an obstacle is opportunity in disguise!
And also, fear is the ultimate reason for all the complications under the sun. There is no powerful enemy than fear …. Fear to launch and fear to fail! The first step involved to triumph over an enemy is to   slaughter the inner dread. So it is crystal clear that to decipher a difficulty it’s important to slash the fear (forever) and rip off the obstacles that it creates. It’s universal law that a person thinks only about his problems and not the solution. Its time that we understand what circumstances we’re in, and identify the key to unlock it. Trust me, follow your dreams without being distracted and they are sure to come true.

Also, I would to mention that the next year is called the ‘vikruthi’ (which means, brooding over events that had taken place). I suppose every living soul hates the notion of lamenting over things that cannot be changed.

I know it sounds so nebulous. I guess what I'll wish for is the opportunity to become involved in something meaningful, where I can make a difference. I still have a shred of morality left in me somewhere, am going to wake it up and make this world a better place to live in!

And finally, dear readers, I wish that all your New Year's wishes come true and let the dimple on your cheeks and smile on your lips remain forever and may this added year to your life be as nice as you!
