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/

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.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same.
