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 possible) of my friends. Of course, I know many of my friends are getting married this year. 
  • I should find time for drawing and listening to music. 
  • One of the inspirations from the book The Story of My Experiments With Truth is doing daily accounting. I will do it. 
  • I am not listening to my friends as much as they want me to do, I'll learn a bit on this. 
  • 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. 
  • Maximum 105 mins per week is going to be my Facebook time. Though it is almost right to share wedding, birthday invitations there, I'll ignore. And will also ignore jokes, quotes, videos - anything non-personal. I should find way to optimise my time here. 
  • Wish to drop lots of things and live as simple as possible and earn more time than many of my friends.
Year 2009 - 2012

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
