Taken is a thriller movie starring Liam Neeson as the estranged father of a 17 year old girl, who reluctantly agrees to let her daughter go to
As you know in these movies, the film has a happy ending but not before lots of body counts and actions is done. If you are in the mood for action, this movie is ok since it is a 90 minute or so movie, otherwise you should watch other action movie or do so productive stuff. Not for the kids though.
Last year was quite a year. I had the tragedy of losing my dear father, and my wife lost her dear grandfather. In the world stage, the world economy went deeper into debt and housing market in the
Terrorism got a new homeland in the face of
On the other side, states are still struggling during the past year despite good retail business but due to the high unemployment rate they are in dire straits and would remain so for a year or two. The landscape of the employment has changed drastically. Even the highly educated were not immune to the devastating recession that we had to go through.
Overall the mood of the consumers went way south with the economy and jobs following it. It is now hoped that we will be able to gain some jobs this year and the economy improves.
So the New Year is here with all its optimism and hopes and expectations. Most of the people have made New Year resolutions of what they hope to accomplish this year. I have nothing against resolutions but the point is that the future is so unpredictable like us human beings that whatever resolutions we make, most of the time we are unable to keep it after a while. In the start there is too much excitement and motivation about the resolutions but as times go by and one is confronted with hectic schedules and unexpected circumstances, the resolutions go down the drain.
The best thing to do about the resolutions is that if you want to make it, you should make it a flexible one reflecting the changing circumstances in your lives and the competing attention grabbers in your life. This way even if you are unable to keep your resolutions you will have made adjustments to it reflecting your changing circumstances.
Apart from this I wish everybody a happy and safe new year.
Usually I don’t post on Sundays since I know that people are busy generally with their families or just out doing chores. But since this day falls on a date which I will hold special for the rest of my life and the worst day of my life so far. It still maybe a Happy New Year to most of the people but for me it is the day my dear Father passed away I know that for some of you people are not that close to their parents in general and father in Particular. But for me I so much close to my father and he was the most close to me of all this children (maybe it was because I was his only son out of four kids). He has guided me through life every step of the way and I used to seek his advice and he used to give me his advice all the time.
We were as close to each other as a baby is to his or her mother. It is his first death anniversary and I miss him so much. I still see him in my dreams and also keep his photos in my room. I still refuse to believe that he has left this world. It was so much heartbreaking for me and I don’t know what I will do for the rest of my life living without seeing his face, hearing his voice and just holding his hand.
My wife sometimes say that he is gone from this world to a better place but unless you are in my shoes you would not know how it feels to lose a parents who is as near to you as your own heart.
Right now I am so depressed and I am so heartbroken and his absence is what makes me feel so much lost in another world. I damn miss him so much that as I am writing I am also crying my heart out. It is so hard for me to go on everyday and I try to absorb myself in different activities just to forget about his thoughts but it is so hard for me not to keep on remembering him day in and day out. GOD I miss him so damn much.
This post is dedicated to you my dear Daddy. May you rest in peace. Daddy I love you always. Your Son. January 03, 2009
