New Year and Resolutions

New Year and Resolutions

I have never made any in the past. Toyed with the idea last year but never ended up making any... But this seems to be a year that is going to change a lot of things for me. I feel like undergoing some transformations myself and growing into next stage of life. So this may be a good time to take a plunge....

1) Bye bye dark rock

Have had enough. A bit of it is ok but no more intense stuff. Am done with it. And this is not a refrain-from-it kind of decision. I have observed that I really have grown out of it.

2) Replace it with Classical Music/Urdu Ghazals

Attended my first classical concert at Kolkata and it was awesome. And I have always struggled to understand those tough but beautiful lyrics of urdu ghazals. Let me give myself a chance to develop a rich taste for Classical Music and Urdu Ghazals.

3) Give Positivity another Chance

I took a journey from positivity to negativity to neutrality. I guess its time to start afresh.

4) Beer Only

I mean drinking vodka/scotch under social circumstances is fine but wherever possible its going to be beer only.

5) Eggitarianism

Here it goes. In last one month I seem to have grown over chicken. I thought its just one time but every time I eat it I end up regretting. I totally seem to have gotten over it. It sounds strange even to me, someone who used to brighten up merely at the mention of chicken... But it seems I am over it now... Let me at least try eggitarianism for a year and see how it goes.

6) Give a shape to the top secret project

Its time to spring into action and start working on the top secret project I have always wanted to work on in life. It perhaps is the single ambition I have had from childhood which is still achievable yet unachieved.

7) A community gesture to remember for life

This I want to make as a commitment for every year from now. Something unique and useful to give back to society every year.

8) a random unplanned trip to somewhere in India

heard of this idea from baba and loved the concept. And I think I need to do this.

I think thats more than enough for someone like me who never dared to make any of these things called resolutions in life. I used to think its easy to make and break resolutions. I wasn't wrong about that. But thats not important, the important thing is to try and keep these resolutions.

Let me see how well I manage them.

There are few more things that I am just delaying for future... For example to be better at prioritizing things, to learn guitar, to work on a business idea and many more. But I am not sure if I would be able to do justice to them as of now, so lets delay them.

I guess I have a pretty sizable task at hand with 8 of these things. Lets see how it goes. Follow up post next year.

Happy New Year
