A time for people to spend it with their loved ones. Its my second Christmas and New Year in a row away from my family and yes I miss home a lot. The past 6 months have been like a roller coaster ride but isn't that where the fun lies-a journey and not the destination that matters.
So much has been happening around with people getting married, finding better jobs, moving to different country, going to trips with their friends, posting pictures. Pictures..ah yes...how do I love pictures. They speak out more than what an entire 500 word blog can speak about. Why do we always smile and stick together to be in that digital frame? Coz those are the moments we wish to capture. A way to trick the non-seizing time and steal our brief happy intervals from it. My entire day passed watching old pictures in my laptop and it saddened me today knowing that I'll never live back those memories. A lot changed and so did I.
Perhaps the most beautiful part of this life is it being ephemeral. More to find the reason why you should hold on tightly to that person next to you right now because this might be your last christmas or new year with him/her. Tomorrow one of you will move out somewhere far searching for greener pastures. There will be no one to blame but time.
Each day is like a gift for you to share and spread joy with people around. We search for every possible way to measure against each other. From "who scored more" followed by "how much package did he/she get" to "his wife is damn hot". When did happiness turn into show off. Was it not an internal feeling where you smile even when you sleep. I am talking of real bliss that no facebook status update can do justice to it.
I wish I could spend more of my time with my family and friends. Sit and have conversations with them that aren't on whatsapp,viber,skype,wechat,this chat-that chat but in person. Crack the stinkiest jokes and laugh carefree knowing this is the moment and I might never get another one, because we are all merely a handful of dust living a fragment of time gifted to us.

So true. Then again, sooner or later, for some at least if not for all, this realization of never again is too much to handle. The sooner the better. Because then they drift towards each other rather than towards greener pastures. The thought of being together becomes the pole star.
There is always a way. Yes, it involves compromises. But only some can tell you what heartfelt desire can do.
