New Years Resolutions

Yup, it's now well into January and I'm writing my first blog entry for the year. Shameful?

Yes.

Actually, there really is no excuse 'cept for the usual dose of laziness that afflicts someone from time to time. I had made up a list of New Year's resolutions on the 1st, but then didn't write them down properly. So I decided yesterday when I was on a four hour train journey, to sit with my planner for the year and pen down what I wanted to do.

I came up with a list of ten resolutions, and I'm going to make each month a focus month for them, starting with February. See, according to me, it's better to make the resolutions like projects, with cumulative add ons. Each month you concentrate on one resolution while working towards the others as well. And then each shall be featured on my blog to show that if I can do it, so can you.

Now why have I been freaking out for the past three weeks? Cuz all said and done, I've had my fun for the year. No more chocolates (like at the rate I've been having), no more procrastinating, more focus. I'll even rope in my cute husband to help me.

So what are the New Year's resolutions you wonder?

Well, there is a list. I'm not going to bring it all out at once, but on it is included the creative side of me - drawing, painting, reading and writing. I've vowed to do more of that this year, and as part of that endeavour, I shall be posting entries on my blog regularly on things that I see around me. I am fortunate that way to live in such a diverse multicultural land called India where there is no lack of things to write about.
