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...

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...
