I'm waiting for the sun to come up while I write this. Watching the sunrise on 1st January has sort of become a tradition for me. I can't remember how or when it started but the idea was to see at least one sunrise a year. Many a times I have thought not to stay up so late and wait for the sun but rather rise with it and each time I fail.
Often while I'm waiting for the sun, I marvel about nature and how it awakens too each day. Sometimes I reflect on the year that was and other times I reflect on the year to be. Often I have thought even about the 'dhobis' because I always each year hear clothes being washed and I think how tragic is a life which has no holidays (breaks). I also try and think of resolutions for the new year knowing very well I'm not going to succeed in even a single. This year however I've decided to have just one simple single resolution. One that is easily attainable. I resolve to wake up to at least 12 sunrises in 2012. Simple enough. And if I decide to finish off these 12 sunrises in winter itself I don't have to wake up super early.
The reason to try this is so that I can at least make an effort to become a morning person.
Goodluck to me. Good thing about doing this again this year is that it is surprisingly cloudly today and that will ruin the sunrise and I get a second, third.....twelveth go at seeing the perfect sunrise.

Hope you were able to see the Sun rise. Have about this earlier too :)
So what's going on? you have completely disappeared.
thts a pretty nice way to start your year ... and a good resolution too ... you can click the morning sunrise hues and post it here for all those 12 times :) happy new year !!!
So ... care to share your reflections? :)
I see Mr.Survivor has become Mr.Tall Guy hehe.
I did stay up. It was quite cloudy though so didn't really see a sunrise :)
Will update the post with a picture once I transfer the same.
Hi Hiren. How are you? Happy New Year. I like the idea of clicking each sunrise. I'll do it. Hehe I did fail to wake up on the 2nd and then I slept at nearly 5 AM on the 3rd morning but was too exhausted to stay up (but it wouldn't count anyway). I'm going to maybe try tomorrow in the morning :)
Reflections from 2011? Well I'd rather not - each year I feel I have wasted more time and accomplished little. Hehe there are a bunch of learning from a couple of weddings I attended. Maybe I'll start blogging again soon and pen those down ;)
What a wonderful thought...welcoming the new year with sunshine! Hope you have a great year, as bright as the sun :)
Thanks :) Hope you have a brilliant year ahead too :)
