Resolution 2009

I do not believe in making resolutions for myself, simply coz determination in keeping good habits is not one of my talents. But this year, I just felt like taking a few baby steps towards good things that bring pleasure- Happy ones which will just keep me going.So here is the very short list.Isn't it?

1. Give more attention to my Book Reviews. Amen.

2. Make new friends. And celebrate the year in honor of good friendships. Hopefully get drunk with friends and keep the torch (glass) of comradeship raised high!

3. Eat more of salad and fruits. Let’s include "Simply Orange" and Apple cider?? Wine? Beer? No seriously Champagne fits right in here.

4. Finally let the trip to the East Coast materialize. Niagara Falls, Times Square, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Washington DC or maybe East coast for me means Florida Keys and Everglades NP.

5. Join a book club or a dance club or a music club or a knitting club at the lib. If I don’t get into one then I will start my own. Or maybe Pub?

6. Treat my hair to regular hot oil massage. Permanent straightening has b(r)ought me a lot of praise but I received enough compliments on my step cut curls too. The memory of the whole process, with 5 hours of torture at the salon makes me faint.

7. Be regular at the gym and remain just as dedicated to Gastronomical indulgences. I can DO it! Ahem!

8. Take up speaking Spanish seriously or write in Bengali beautifully.

9. And probably not be such a gadget annihilator. Thakur, not accident prone to such an extent, please.

10. Complete all the knitting and cross stitch works that I started last year before I pick another project.

2009, work is already cut out for ya!!
