New Year Resolution 2019

As usual nothing unusual here :)
Though it is only for fun, I try to follow it very seriously ๐Ÿ˜œ

Health:
For a change, instead of the regular 72–74kgs target weight, “Not more than 77kgs” is the 2019 target.
Also setting 1250 pull ups and 2500 push ups for this year ;) I won’t count but I know whether I am on target or not.  [Jan 01, 2020]: Pull ups not done
I am hoping for 6½ hours sleep everyday.

Tidying Up:
I got too many photos and videos. I should do a digital clean up regularly. In fact, I clean up now and then but add a lot to keep it messy again :(

Learning:
I get to read good quotes but I don’t remember any of them. I am setting 6 quotes as a goal for this year.
[Jan 01, 2020]: Not done
It is been few years since I have learnt any new word, 50 is the count I want to reach.
[Jan 01, 2020]: Not done
Also, I wanted to listen something for at least 30 minutes twice in every week.

Movies:
50 movies at least is the target for this year. It will include at least three of Nicholas Sparks movies

Books:
20 books for year 2019 is the target. I just started my List3. List2 and List1 are done and I like this predefined order.

Expenses:

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.
