Festiwitti #5: The Year That Was

Reflections on 2016 ?

Saw a new country, and some new animals;Heard some old music;

Lost 5 kilos and jumped into a 2013 suit;
Broke a bone;
Rode a Segway;

Lost some old friends (there’s more than one way to lose a friend!);
Made none;
Met a few more, after a 35-year gap;

Read plenty of old books, no new ones;
Set a record for the longest-held job in 11 years;

Found Vasuda Sharma on YouTube (listen to “Jaagi Jaagi Raina”);
Chanced upon Vivek Govil on Soundcloud;

Crossed 10,000 likes on Instagram;
Didn't cross 10,000 hits on the blog;

Discovered Letterboxd;
Dropped some pills and picked up some others;

Barely blogged;
Passed the 6-year no-smoking mark and forgot to celebrate;

And heard, for the first time, a bank manager say that his safe was empty.

Yes, it’s been an eventful year !

Here’s wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas and a joyous 2017.
