2024 Empty 2024

If I have to describe 2024 in one word, it would be - PAINFUL.


Still an eventful year in spite of the constant undercurrent of my aches and pains. Managed to fit in quite a few activities…


  • Four travels, one to India, and interestingly, all others were domestic this time, one touring, one family, and one was both. But all done by summer when i realized i just can't keep exerting myself. 

  • Hosting family and friends at home.

  • Celebrating friends’ and family’s milestones.

  • Meeting some school/college/post-grad folks I hadn’t met in years


Did have my lows and losses, did have my highs and successes.

  • The biggest setback was an injury in the beginning of the year, something I think I will be dealing for another year or so, or who knows, forever. It’s nothing too major, but it’s painful. It also got me started on a long path of learning and respecting my body, and start healing it from the years of abuse I put it through.  

  • The biggest heartbreak was ending of a slowly dying friendship. It also helped me learn to accept. Accept what? Just accept. Be it fate, be it rejection, be it sadness, even happiness.  

  • The saddest thing for me this year was to get completely disillusioned at work. I am slowly trying to get out of this slump though.

  • The most peace came from working towards my soul upliftment.

  • The most joy came from friends and family.

  • My biggest accomplishment was to learn to float in water without support and without panicking.


What are my goals for 2025, nothing worth sharing. Coz of my physical limitations, I have lately been setting only weekly goals for myself. No more annual goals… I may not come back to recap 2025, coz I realized I had written yet another sad and dark piece for this post before I shortened it by like 500 words. Maybe I jinx myself every year by oversharing… but who knows how I feel by end of next year.
