100th post of 2007

It has been delayed for a while, but it finally has been typed out. My 100th post of this year, and i am quiet glad that i have partially lived up to the commitment of updating my blog regualrly, now albeit periodically. In Mumbai, where i now reside, i dont have the time as well as the liberty to go online frequently. And my time here during the month of June has been very frustrating and one which has tested my patience.

Mother and Father are both miles away. And i cant be with any of them because of certain commitments which i have to undertake. The Education Loan, that i have taken for my UK trip, has been stalled because of the unavailability of my father. The system of getting Loans for education everywhere is so rotten, that i am starting to feel that there is no place for merit whatsoever, in todays world. Banks are only concerned with guarantees that they want their money back. Inspite of possessing grades worthy of Merit, i am still far away from getting the loan sanctioned.

My Dad is also miles away in the US, and because of this my Mom has not smiled naturally for sometime now. It is this constant seperation between my Mom and my Dad, as well me and my mom and dad that has made us very frustrated. We hardly get to spend time together, the maximum time that we have spent together has been for four months, when all of us lived in bhopal and could run a proper household.

It is this period of frustration that i wonder about the immediate future. My time here is very limited, so whatever time i have here in my home is precious. In a couple of months, when distances will be more pronounced, at that time, Positive thinking in the long term can sustain me. The New beginning is something which i am looking forward to, because then i can carry less flaws in a new land.

This 100th post of 2007 is a reflection of the times that i have undergone during these 11 days that i have not contributed on my blog. However, as many a person would say, Always Hope for the best in the future, and so i continue with my life full of hope. But, for the moment, in the corner of my mind, i will celebrate this 100th cntribution.
