New Year Resolution 2019

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

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

[Jan 01, 2020]: Not done

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:

I SHOULDN’T buy more than 9 books this year for my reading. [Jan 01, 2020]: Not done

I should avoid spending money on food as much as possible.

I recently added a new category PET ;)

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...
