New Year Resolution 2017

If you have read my previous year New Year resolution, you can skip reading this.

  • Gained weight last year. I need to control it
    •  Please don’t give me any suggestion  
  • I need to learn at least 25 new English words (2 per month and 1 to make it round) and 365 non English
    • I myself will get some resources
  • Email forwards, Orkut, Facebook and now WhatsApp joins the list. So less time there and possibly will try to increase other modes of communication
    • Your suggestions are welcome
  • Clean up non-mandatory things... Will do this year too. Will try to get the photos organised - full year goal
    • Thinking of online storage + hard disk. Do you have any good solution?
  • Will increase the book reading time. I shall choose the books I wanted to read for next 10+ months by January 14, 2017. At least one from Amitav Ghosh,  Preeti Shenoy and few from Osho is for sure
    • What are your favourite English non-fictions written by foreign authors?
  • Will spend time on reflecting on things that I complete before completely moving into the next task
    • Do you do, how?

Social Networking - I suggest removing the apps from your smartphone if you spend time on the phone doing that. Probably not possible with whatsapp, but you could use the web version so you can see it on your computer as well. But after doing all of this, the best option for me was to limit the time I spent on there and restricting that to a certain time of the day and the duration.

As for reading here are some suggestions - https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/7-career-boosting-books-to-read-this-month/

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...

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.
