Sailing into year 2012

The new year lies before you

Like a spotless track of snow

Be careful how you tread on it

For every mark will show

The start of new year is the start of a new life. You are energetic and optimistic. In morning while I was getting ready for work I got few minutes to look at myself in mirror. Felt like I got little older, not sure if little wiser too or not :P The last year was one of the best years in my life. I mentioned about that in my last blog post as well. Well, didn't wrote much of the new year resolutions this time because I am sure I will take on every challenge with a new courage and determination to make it possible. You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision and determination and I have both of them with me. Hope all of you had a wonderful start of new year and everyone is ready to rock 2012 ahead. See you all along this way.

The Moment

"You know when you really felt alive? You can choose to live in your past or you can choose to live in your present. The past which is gone will never ever change. The done is done, you can not change it a bit no matter how you wish. But you have this moment, the moment that is priceless. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, life or death, happiness or sadness. Live in this moment, live for yourself and for your family"

Memorable 2011

In just 7 days time, we'll be stepping in 2012. For me the beginning of any new thing is full of possibilities, and when it comes to new year it is always full of hopes, dreams and possibilities. In my  life some years have just come and gone like seasons. Though they were important in one way or other but they have not left some special imprint in my life. But as far as 2011 is concerned, it was filled with life changing events. In the beginning I was having hundreds of fears starting from WHAT IF I WON'T... This what if I won't is always very hard in everyone's life.

Well, if I talk about 2011 now I could say with absolute certainty that this year would be engraved on my heart as the year when I truly started to go after, and working hard on achieving what I desired out of life. Beside that I must say that I am proud of myself. I won't say that this year was easy. NO, it was the toughest year in my life. But, I managed to keep myself focused and on track. I continued with what I thought and because of all those who prayed for me, I succeed. So many good things happened in this year for example, my Master studies, my job, and most important I achieved all those milestones which I set in the start of year. Alhamdullilah, I am blessed :)

I will soon write my new year resolutions and will share with you guys. Plans are to continue the same path I'm on because it seems the right path. Hope all of you had an awesome 2011 and you are looking forward to 2012 with a smile on face. See all of you later.

Are you ready to rock 2012 ahead? ;-)

Happy Holidays,

Ikra

Guys, It's been a while

It's been a while since I last updated my blog. I was feeling bad for not updating it but the work, projects and research had all my time. I am little not feeling that well too. I know festive month is around us and everyone is busy in preparing themselves for the Christmas ahead. Well, I am all waiting for the upcoming week to end up with small Christmas Eve and then few days off from work. It's been so hectic in last couple of weeks, guess a small break would be nice. Anyhow, didn't asked about you guys. Hope everyone is fine and not missing my musings that much ;-)

Now days I am very much into learning some new Swedish words. Oh, did I mentioned earlier about FIKA? I think I have not and wonder why I didn't. Anyhow, Fika is kind of tea and mostly scheduled after lunch. The happiest part of my day is when a message pops up in Outlook saying "Fika at 3.00pm". It usually includes coffee or tea with some baked goodies. It is really a perfect excuse to get out of work and chit chat with friends. Anyone up for Fika? ;-)

2011 is going to end and countdown has begin. This year was definitely the most important one in my life. Alhamdullilah, I have accomplished all my milestones. I will soon share my journey of 2011 and new year resolutions as well. Have you guys already wrote new year resolutions, if yes share them with me.

Ikra reporting live,

Have great weekend ~ Doodles
