Adieu 2023, welcome 2024

Myself, my sister and niece standing infront of a blank frame in a Mall displaying welcome 2024.

Wishing all the members of this challenging community, under the leadership @galenkp "A very Blissful Happy New year Ahead" .
Bringing in New year is another joy. Not exactly knowing what is ahead in store for us.

Yesterday ie., the last day of the year 2023 was a day of excess happiness and a day of intense pain.

A day of happiness, when my niece got married to a boy of her choice after a long search, the celebration commenced from saturday and concluded today ie., Monday. This was also a day of intense pain as I lost my close friend to the hands of death. She was so intimate that we worked in the same school for nearly 10 years. A person who had lot of medical issues but always looked cheerful and made others happy. In short, a person with a positive vibe.

Last year infact my brother and sister travelled along with their families to India. So that was a nice gathering for my long awaited parents. I often heard from them only of their pains and medical issues, but when their children and grand children was with them, I could hear only laughs and talks of yesteryear stories.

Both my son and my Birthday falls on December with a two differences. I usually don't celebrate my Birthday. But this time I was really lucky to cut two cakes on my birthday, one from my son and other from my sister, who landed the same day from Singapore. I want to admit that it was one of the best day in my life, not for the cake but for the
remembrance on that particular day. I felt so special.

Furthermore, another incident being I was happy to meet my colleagues after a gap of 9 long years. We had a wonderful gathering. It was an everlasting moment. As mentioned earlier, about the death of my close friend, we were to have the next reunion shortly in her place, due to her difficulty in travelling.

My son's achievement in the college magazine

This was also the year where my son was being selected as a member of UNICEF under the topic Climatic change. He got into this platform, through a photo taken by him, related to the topic of Climatic changes secured first position district wise. He also had an invitation to visit Youth Conclave conference in the capital city of our country through UNICEF.

Anyway the chapter of 2023 is closed, and this year what is in store for me, Iam eagerly waiting though I am not aware of. My sons will be possibly completing their graduation. One in law and other in electronics. So then the hunt for job begins. Hence this is yet another challenging year for me.

Life is full of surprises, some good and some bad. Whatever be it, we get to face them with courage.

Wishing all good things happen in
2024 for one and all. All photos are my own unless otherwise stated.

Note: Actually I was to post this in weekend engagement but as the time has already ran out, the same is being posted here
