I have forgotten what it is to desire something. I'm sure if time has not decided to wipe my name from the face of this world by the end of this decade, I will still read books and watch films and still get invited to poetry festivals I won't go to. People will still say the same things about me, it will still be raining. Nothing ever happens here - As Alan Bennett said 'Life is generally something that happens elsewhere.' At least, I know that mine is. And that which happens to other people. I am back where I was in 2000, snobbish, selfish, whatever else I am labelled, none the richer and none the wiser. Wishing you a very Happy 2010! May it bring you all the prosperous joys of the Good Life.Rehan Qayoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391797858691917631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696375427830470874.post-39441284244237015302010-01-07T21:18:51.764+00:002010-01-07T21:18:51.764+00:00Shireena - I was in your fav city only a couple of...Shireena - I was in your fav city only a couple of months ago and had an awesome time.

Sounds like a great l...Happy Holidays to you also! <br />Sounds like a great little group of goals you have there. =) <br />"not to stress over others" indeed. we can only change ourselves. Easier said than done though right.<br />Exploring new cities can be lots of fun. Exploring 'new' parts of 'old' cities (or places we've spent years in). I recently did that back home in New York during the holidays) and discovered all sorts of interesting things. <br /><br />Love the header photo by the way. So bright and pretty.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688009775579264989noreply@blogger.com
