New Year Resolution

These are not my new year resolutions. I am just compiling them now (either already started or will start them soon).


2012:
  • "Thank you, God" is the everyday prayer.
  • I started reading "மின்மினிகளால் ஒரு கடிதம்" but completed only "ஏழு தலைமுறைகள்" in year 2011. I really wanted to read more books and at least 6 is the target.
  • I shouldn't buy any non-Tamil books this year.
  • I am planning to start avoid attending weddings and birthday functions.
  • There are lots of sermons available on the net. I'll listen to at least few of them or anything spiritual(either for or against), once in two weeks.
  • Hoping to continue the digital diary.
  • At least one email to you this year, of course, apart from the one you read now.
  • One blog per month, no promise though!
  • Reduce non-veg, coffee. No TV.
  • It is been few years since I wanted to draw cartoon like pictures. It is a high priority one this year
  • Though it frustrates at times, I will try to check Facebook between 15-30 mins per day, as almost all of my friends communicating through it. Of course, I will still miss many. I shall avoid watching videos shared in FB. 

2011:
  • "God, I thank you for everything" is going to be the ONLY prayer for 2011
  • Need to sleep at least 6 hours per day and 45 hours per week
  • Aashayein, Peepli Live, Leader,  Lahore, Kalavani, Lafangey Parindey, Angaadi Theru, Kajraare - movies I enjoyed watching in year 2011. Will choose and watch few more this year too. Will try one tech video per two weeks this year
  • Time slots for email checking, restricted. No urgent information through email
  • Should try my hand in drawing (just with pen and pencil)
  • Not a promise but at least one blog per month
  • Have to send one email to a person per day, exclusively thinking of that person, whom I can't meet/speak for at least a month.
  • I am looking for vertical strip t-shirt for the past two months. I couldn't get the one I wanted. Will search for it.
  • And trying to get a coffee-mug with star sign and quote printed. About 20 shops and three weeks... yet to get it.
  • Life is a game. Winning is honestly giving the best of what I can give at the very moment. Will play the game innocently, intelligently.

2010:
  • Fitness
  • No TV
  • Read minimum 6 books
  • Watching tech/non-tech videos at the rate of at least one in two weeks
  • Let people to make me to listen to them
  • At least one blog per month
  • Spend 1 or 2 "continuous" hours at the end of the day to ensure that my Inbox is empty. Thanks to Thunderbird for making it easier.
  • Too good are my school and college friends, shall find the missed ones.
  • Simple drawing: like cartoons with paper and pen.  No promise, no serious efforts.
  • பல முகங்கள் வேண்டும் - சரி - மாட்டிக்கொள்வோம்.
  • No promise: Digital diary

2009:
  • Family – Sorry
  • Bye Bye Television
  • Decide the priority for money
  • Read at least 6 books in 2009
  • Had enough coffee and minimize tea
  • Cleanup address book. No auto includes
  • No time. Don’t save URLs for later reading
  • Make the Inbox empty before going to the bed
  • Work is joy. Be honest and enjoy the work, as usual!

  • Read and respond to the pending 2008’s emails within next 60 days

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

My Reading List -- 3

I love reading books in the predefined order, especially after completing my first two lists ( Reading List 1 , Reading List 2 ). So here is my third list. Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami Murphy’ a Message to Dog Lovers by Ernest Gambier-parry The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life by Lilly Singh Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks ReWork: Change the Way You Work Forever by David Heinemeier Hansson, Jason Fried The Gory Story of Genghis Khan: Aka Don’t Mess with the Mongols by Nayanika Mahtani The Art Of Living : The Classical Manual On Virtue, Happiness And Effectiveness by Epictetus A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens So You Want to Know About Economics by Roopa Pai Wonder by R J Palacio Life is Tremendous: Enthusiasm Makes the Difference by Charlie Jones The Giver by Lois Lowry The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by don Miguel Ruiz Alexander the Great by Jacob Abbot...
