A New Beginning..

A new beginning!

My first word. My first thought!

I write this not to you but to myself. I write this so that you may remind me someday that I wrote this to you. I write this to make promises to myself. I write this to remind me that I’ve been one half all this while and the better part joins me now.

Life is a journey - a long one at that, full of ups and downs, uncertainties, joys, sorrows and what not. What one needs in life are people who can make this journey worthwhile; family, friends, strangers, who may touch your life, even if shortly and leave a part of them with you for forever. What one needs is to touch others lives so deeply that you leave a mark on them, a good one.

I write today because I know it is a new beginning. I want to tell you that I am not perfect. I am perfectly imperfect, incapable of a lot of things that make one a good human being. I say that because I know myself.

I may be fast to judge, hasty to act, cowardly to apologize, scared to love and give in, incapable of compassion and ignorant of life. I may be clever but not kind, good looking but vain, educated but not wise and so many other things that I can’t even begin to write.

We have known each other for quite some time. Long enough to know each other and may be even believe that we have fallen for each other. May be we have. May be we think we have.

As we embark on this journey, I think there is only one thing that I would want to ask of you – Help me be a better human being!

With your love, let me be a man who not just appreciates but also reciprocates the affection of everyone around. Through your kindness let me learn the value of compassion and giving selflessly. Through your conduct and character let me develop one that can stand to face the world with my head held high. Through your faith strengthen my belief – in myself and others.

I promise to love you with all my heart. I promise to respect you for what you are and whatever you wish to be. I promise myself that I will be a better human being because being around you makes me want to be one.

My last word. My last thought!

A new beginning!
