Pessimist from past

Another New Year sun rose in the east- the sun of 2009.
And so came with it a few calls wishing prosperous new year.
Thanks to the complexities like spectrum congestion and jamming and such and such….
One received calls as well as succeeded to respond as late as 10 Jan
The good old days of post cards and greeting cards are gone and
With that the reliability factor too.
Am I honest in my expressions of Dec and the succeeding January ?
Why do I approach Dec 31 and 01 Jan hiding my true feelings. I am probably not original then.
Then am I original at least by February ?
I should be, by all means- if I have not tried to change towards the end of 2008- the year that has gone past.
Well! Very wise!!
By the way what is my new year resolution ?
Is that compulsory?
Not any more-even that has lost its sanctity, or did it have it in the beginning?
Nope! Any way I draw a blank.
Okay you have a blank resolution..
I didn’t say that!! I said I am innocuous to any.
Are you planning to relocate?
Yes, Europe probably.
Careful!! It is the bad times.
Forget it;I am immune to recession.
Extra-ordinary ?
Nope! BPL. And there come my immunity from.
BPL? What is that sedan doing in your garage?
Its my wife’s automobile-and remember
It has got nothing to do with dowry. I didn’t know she was rich.
How is your portfolio doing? Broke? Is that behind Europe?
Ha! Ha! Sold every penny in September itself. I just got bored.
Permanent?
Five years..may be..then I come back to live on royalty.
So that’s it. Pretty strong for a resolution.
Resolution-my foot!!
