does new year mean new life?

its already december 30th.time:11. p.m.
and this means there are only 25 hours for a new year to begin.

every year as december aproaches, people are busy. well, its not only the christmas rush. people are busy reviewing their gone year's life. and then, they sit, scratch their heads, work their brains and finally by the 31st, they have a long list ready- a list of RESOLUTIONS!

during our school assemblies, we used to have long advices about the importance of taking resolutions and keeping them. and yes, we would be inspired by them!

its intresting to note the variety of resolutions that we take. in my school days my most favourable resolution was "i will study my daily portions". then there were others too like i'll help my mom, i will be nice to people, i will make my bed etc etc. and as the years went by, my resolutions also started to get more....what do i say.....well....'mature'.

and thus we enter into a new year with a clean heart and peacefull mind. we say "this year is going to be a turning point in my life".

the first few weeks of january would be the best. how i wish mankind would be in that stage all throughout the year.

slowly and steadly, we go back to our own self. how many resolutions have we loyally kept?
let me confess that for me- none! i salute the ones who have kept them.
anyways, let this be an oppurtunity for all those waiting eagerly to turn over a new leaf!(including me)

the most embarrassing moment in my life

well, i know the title sounds like a question seen in every single slam book. and as a reply people write 'when curry fell on me', 'when my father saw me with my boyfriend' and so on.
but this i should say is THE most embarrassing moment in my life and i so wish this wouldn't happened to anyone(not even my enemies).
this is what happened:
i recently went to listen to carol singing competition. my church was participating in it. our number was seven and so we were forced to sit and listen to the songs prior to it.
me, along with my whole family went and sat right in front so that 'we could see them better' and' hear them better'.
BIG MISTAKE. the sound was deafening. we were just waiting for chess number seven to get over. and as soon as it did we got ready to go.
we got up. walked the red carpet(the Aile had a red carpet). probably all the listeners were just as bored. i could sense it. all eyes were on us as we were walking. my mother walked in front.
next i followed.
i walked and reached the exact middle of the hall. i saw a lady whom i knew. she smiled at me and i returned the smile.
the next moment, or was it that very instant?, i really don't remember, there was a loud bang.
i was totally blank for a second. then i came back to my senses. there, i lay flat on the ground.
i had no clue how i got there. i looked all around and there lay a stupid cable. a red one too. it perfectly blended with the background.
everybody got up from their seats to rush up to me. i sprang to my feet. i had a sprained toe and a bruised knee. my legs were hurting like mad. but who cares about the pain when you're skin is about to be torn apart from shame.
i bent my head and walked FAST!with that speed i could have won a marathon!
i could hear stupid comments from here and there. people who knew me came to enquire how i was. but i really dint listen to anyone one of them.
i rushed to my car. my family rushed behind me. and we zoomed out.
this is an incident which would be a little difficult to forget.
now can i have a little empathising?
