Resolutions Update

Its the month of October now. I made this list in December 2010 and was really excited by the time I ended this list thinking I have so much to look forward to this year.

I guess it has been a good year till now.

1. Start reading novels - Read some novels when I was free in Delhi. Havent read anything since I started working. Plan to start a novel today.

2. Learn guitar - Naah..Havent joined any guitar class yet. Somehow I feel I dont have patience to learn it.

3. No stupid personal hiccups/relations - Absolutely. Dont even have time to get into all this now. Everything ended with college.

4. Enjoy work n life in new job - I am having a good time in office. Not sure about life as both seem to be same for me these days.

5. Do what i feel like - Have done that by coming to chennai and somewhere am proud of my decision.

6. Stay in touch with college/school friends - Have tried my best to stay in touch. Some reciprocated , so we are in touch, others god bless you.

7. Give a thought on drinking - Tried that. Didnt feel anything special about it , so I guess drinking is not for me.

8. Give a thought on leaving non-veg - Have left non- veg and I feel good about being a vegetarian. Am really happy I took this decision.

9. Clear CFA level 1 - Sadly didnt register for paper this year. But its something which is in my mind and I will surely be CFA someday in future.

10. Watch Formula 1 race in Noida - I will be in delhi on F1 weekend and if I feel like going I will surely make it somehow.

11. Cut down on online time - My job has ensured this.

12. Learn a new sport ,may be lawn tennis/swimming - Have time only during weekend and am left with no energy to play.

13. Visit goa,singapore,rajasthan n thailand - Postponed to next year.

14. Save money n spend new year eve in US with smarth n puneet - Have saved enough money for this but with friend's marriage coming up in january, am not taking off in december.

15. Atleast complete half of the above 14 - Difficult to say, but am happy J

Ticking the resolutions

Its been 5-6 years now I have been doing this resolution thing. In last week of December, I spend some time in thinking what all I wish to do next year and note them down on paper or document. This time also I had done the same. Surprisingly unlike last year where I had made only one resolution, this year I ended up writing 15 resolutions. Yeah, it’s a big list J .

For a minute, I thought it’s crazy. 15 resolutions, that’s a lot. Then a good thought came in my mind to counter it. It occurred to me that I have so much to look forward to this year.

6 months over in this year and am done with half of the New Year resolutions. Oh yeah … am making progress on 7^th of the 15 resolutions ( with the 15^th one being to complete 7 of the 14 resolutions , am not counting that in calculations ) J.

I started working on the 7^th resolution a month back and I guess it will be ON atleast for this year end. I have finally stopped eating Non-vegetarian food. I had been trying to do this now for over a year. No no, there is nothing religious sentiment or family pressure attached to do this. It was just a thought which was always in my mind to stop eating non-veg but being at home I could never do that , as dad , sisters n brother-in laws n even my nephews n niece eat it a lot . So more often than not I too end up eating with them. So I guess once am back home I might end up again eating non-veg but atleast till that time I wont eat it .

The left over 7 resolutions are little tricky and tough. Let’s see what happens to them. :D
