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!
  • Find time for physical fitness (No, no, no..not body building)
  • Read and respond to the pending 2008’s emails within next 60 days

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

The Kite Runner

Usually, I buy and read book suggested by my friends but no one suggested me to read the book "The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini". I neither heard about it before I accidentally bought it. I was looking for the books I planned to buy in the Chennai Bookfair 2011 and I found this book . There was something attractive, though it was not as beautiful as of many of the books cover design, it should be the cover of it, because all I could see was only the book cover. I took it in my hand and asked myself, should I buy this?, yes was the answer and I bought it. I completed reading this book last week, after keeping it the shelf for almost 2 years. I am glad I got this book. It is one of best books I read in the recent years. The phrase " For you, a thousand times over " lingering in the mind is the proof that I really enjoyed reading this book and moved so much ;) " I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975 ...

New Year Resolution 2013

Though it looks very much similar to the previous years, it is still not the same. My wish list for 2013 :) Very much addicted to the the lovely voice in Um Paadham Panithen , words of God Will Make a Way , music and lyrics of Oru Naalil Vazhkai and the messages of Joel Osteen will continue to listen them, repeatedly.  Hoping to watch lots of videos of Marissa Mayer. Like one of my friends Madhavi, she is very energetic, enthusiastic, quick and inspiring.  It is between 72 - 75 kgs for the past five years and it is fine for me. Though I am less confident about it, hoping to remain in that range.  I should write at least one blog in every month.  I read few good books in 2012 and I should read at least 12 books in 2013 and write a summary of it. Here is the list of books I have (yet to read almost all of them) Unlike last year, after listening to my colleague Muthukumaran , decided to attend the weddings (reception - only if attending the wedding is not pos...
