MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS - AGAIN!!!


So its that time of the year when you bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. A time for another excuse to party and spend the night outdoors. Some might stay indoors, while some lucky naughty ones get to stay indoors, albeit OUTSIDE THEIR OWN HOMES. [:p]. Its that time of the year when all Astrologers and some new wannabe-astrologers play with words and pull out random prophecies from their list of cliched statements. The cunning ones make combinations of 2 or more previously used statements from archives to evade being found out. But they'd rather not waste their time on it. Don't they know that we fools are gonna read their columns anyway? Its that time of the year when not only family and friends, but even people who would otherwise not even wanna see each others' faces suddenly develop bonhomie and greet each other with a smile. Of course, the next day things go back to normal and the back stabbing resumes from where it left off 2 days prior.



Its also that time of the year when EVERYONE makes New Year's Resolutions. Some might not openly admit it, but the truth is that everyone has a plan for the coming year. I've racked my brains a lot, and have come up with my list of 10 Resolutions (okay okay, I did'nt really rack my brains a lot, many of 'em are carried forward from the previous year, but it does take some effort to remember things you made on 31st December the last year and forgot on 1st January :p). So here's my list:




  1. I resolve to get myself physically fit by losing a few tonnes in weight. Well, this is one Resolution that I've been bringing forward from the past 5 years, its only the figure of the magnitude of weight to lose that changes every year. And that figure has been showing an increasing trend. Its not a nice thing to know that "Meri PAUNCH bahut door tak hai".

  2. I resolve to either do everyhing possile to regain some of my lost hair, or to get rid of the scanty vegetation all together. I'm sick of the 'left side to right side' Rajat Sharma hairdo.

  3. I shall never openly admit that I'm a teetotaller or a non-smoker. I'm not happy with the titles of "Bournvita King" and "Horlicks Champion".

  4. I shall keep my Heart to myself. Wish I'd made this Resolution two years back.

  5. I shall stop reading Horoscopes. Bejan Daruwala, Marjorie Orr, Sunita Menon, etc etc, I boycott thee all. (Just gimme a break of a week okay..I'll be back. I know you peeps already know it).

  6. I shall avoid trying to mime Keralite and other South-Indian accents. Too much of trying has really made my L's thick and I've begun to unconsciously speak like a mallu. I am partly Mallu (1/3rd Mallu, keep guessing how come :d), but still, I used to enjoy it when people took wild guesses about my ethnicity and never got it right.

  7. I shall not give too much importance to people who don't deserve it. I shall stop assuming that relationships and friendships can last forever if you are loyal and committed.

  8. I shall learn to dance. Another brought-forward item. I suspect you'll be seeing this in my next year's Resolution List as well.

  9. I shall learn atleast one musical instrument for sure this year. I promise not to break the guitar in frustration if I don't get the B and F chords right. I really do want to graduate from playing Air-Guitars and Air-Drums. I've played Air-Bass Guitar as well, can you do that?

  10. I shall post on my blog more regularly. And I shall find more decent and respectable methods to garner comments on my blog posts, than posting on the "Leave a comment on the blog above" post in the Bloggers community on orkut.......hmm no...I strike out the last sentence. Typed it in a drunken state,I'm sorry. How can I even think that's possible? :p

So there you go. that was my list for 2008. Hope the coming year is better than the year passing by. WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


And hey, if you do comment here (plz do so..plz plz plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :p), let it be in the form of a few of your own resolutions.


See y'all NEXT YEAR.

  1. Ok wait b4 i go ranting abt my resn. I hav found out a way to garner comments rather than sticking to that orkut thread 24x7...just comment nicely(after reading the post properly nd not superficially)..nd u wil DEFINITELY get back a cmmnt.It always works .its all your karma.hehe....i go bloghopping nd cmmnt randomly ....or u cn select other bloggers frm ur frndz cmmnt pages nd cmmnt on theirs.Ok so my 6 resn are(not verryyy diff frm urs)

    I shall definitely learn how to drive a car ....I m 18 nw nd all my frnds knw driving.also my dad is buying a car nxt yr.so all the more reason.

    I shall try to learn the guitar.Start with the accoustic.A metalhead lyk me cannot live widout learning it. Also drums may b a possibility.I will also try to improve on my voice patterns(trying for a vocalist also)

    I will try to attend 95 p.c of the rock gigs in mumbai.

    I will try to study 25 pages per day instead of a regular 10 pages per day of any subject..(yeah im that dumb)

    I will treat beautiful girls as my sisters.hehe.

  22. "it take some effort to remember things you made on 31st December the last year and forgot on 1st January"

    Our memory is short term, very very very short term indeed!
    losing hair? someone once said to me "accountants/auditors tu hutay hi gunjay hain" and i promto reached my comb and discovered falling strands and wished that i never want to be the first bald women. *sigh*

    1/3 ^.- ?
    out of your four grandparents (two maternal and two paternal) two belong to one state and the other two from the differnt state? (in case you still count two women as 1)! and both women are from the same state grrr?

    and hahaha is there any decent way to gather comments? belimme no :P

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've no doubt you didn't keep any resolution. Right?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Nice to read ur resolutions ... Wonder how many of these u kept up with ;) ??
