The year has
almost come to an end with Christmas and New Year ahead; I convey the greetings
to you all for the same, first. The mood seems to be refreshing every time a
year set to dawn or beginning something anew and this time too I feel the same,
though I decided to skip making Christmas tree that followed by lighting for
New Year this time, the feeling of celebration happening around could not
prevent giving a sense of happiness to me. Though the mind doesn’t agree to
celebrate, when still many of our people are affected by flood and rain haven’t
returned to normalcy, my anticipation with the year ahead were lot. There’s a promising
feel in the air, which I don’t want to disappear, and the mind also makes
conclusion with an urge to renew the activities to do much better. I don’t know
what things going to happen next year and I wasn’t sure about my anticipation to
share anything right now. But hope for the best, as it is yet to come.
So far this
month, I have done only two posts and that too on the experience related to
flood and rain. December has been a devastating month for some time lately,
with great disasters taking place at this time mostly, the torrential rains and
flood had made this year an unforgettable one revealing a face of Chennai that
the modern Chennaities unseen before. December has been my favorite month
always, despite being a primary season for mosquitoes, and the beginning of Margazhi
– the Tamil month and the coldest season of the year, and the only time Chennai
becomes cooler as it is well known for the hotter weather almost the year. December
brings me memories of travel in past, as some of the places where explored
during this time and trying to connect the moment and time of each passing day
make feel cherished. I also decided to make use of this month to explore places
around the Chennai that I wanted to do for some time and also waked up on the
day 1 of December with an active mind-set but what happened keeps me away from
almost everything and also couldn’t blog on things I intend to cover this
month.
But later my
laptop becomes a problem, which perhaps I guess is because of the disaster.
When I opened my laptop after more than a week, I was slightly taken aback
seeing at its condition of dirt and dust spread around the screen and keypad. I
thought something could have happened and when I switch on the device I was
asked to select windows to go inside rather right into the desktop. The screen read
windows memory diagnostic and later it took long time to boot and unresponsive
from certain keys make me feel useless to hold back the device rather way to service
center to mend on things early. I didn’t expect it to make such expenditure on
hard disk and keyboard, but glad I got back the data’s that stored in the hard disk,
which was converted into an external hard drive. With the new and replacement from
320 to 500GB hard disk, the laptop works pretty good and quicker than earlier
and I also decided to hold minimum files on the computer to keep alive the
swiftness.
Alright, have an
energetic and cheerful year ahead and more charming Christmas. Time to catch up
with all your blogs and some have been untouched for less than a month. Hope u
all bear me… I am also on a mission to finish
APJ Abdul Kalam’s autobiography (Wings of fire) before the year end, and being
a slow reader, I am trying to be fast. Lol
Happy New Year Jeevan...
ReplyDeleteI hope the new year will bring relief from some of the problems that came in December. Hopefully the rains have ceased and flood waters have receded. I'm glad you were able to get your laptop working again. It is always very nerve-wracking when a computer fails.

Glad you got your data back. This is one reason why I invest in low-cost laptops - I change the entire laptop if there is a major repair. Servicing these things costs a lot!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the book. I am sure it will be inspiring :)

I'm glad your laptop is faster than it was but I'm sorry it was the weather that forced you to spend money to improve its performance. I hope January turns out to be much better than December, and that 1016 is a very good year for you.
ReplyDeleteAll that rain and then the laptop.
ReplyDeleteThings will resolve.
Hang in there!
Peace :)
Hi There, I am so sorry to hear about the horrible December storms. We dodged a bullet last night since a horrible storm was headed our way... Luckily, we didn't have any troubles here --but three people died in Tennessee because of that storm. Mother Nature can be brutal at times...
ReplyDeleteSorry about the computer problems also. That is NEVER fun to deal with. I hope that January is a much much better month --and that 2016 will be one of your BEST.
Hugs,
Betsy
