So how did I do wrt the Resolutions for the year 2006?
Lets have a look:
Travel: I want to travel more regularly, to different and interesting places. I will make sure I make one trip every month of the year.
This worked very well for the first few months of the year. Despite having huge family functions(My sister’s wedding) I managed to hold on to the resolution in the first half of the year. The 9 day trip to Gangtok, Darjeeling and Kalimpong stopped the smooth sailing(plus the added pain of using all my office holidays with about 4 months to go in the year :P ) All in all this resolution got a very favorable interest from my side right thru the year and thanks to that I have seen a lot more places and met a lot more people
Write more Often: If you have read my earlier post about my 2005, you will understand this? I need to finish my novel and a couple of stories that I hv started. Plan to write atleast 6 different stories by 2007(Excludes the occasional burst of poetry I recieve :P )
Another decent effort on this one, I wrote a couple of stories(a couple half finished :P), Wrote 2 plays and a super-short story(Plan to dig into this form more often from now on :) ) and Lets not talk about that novel for a while :P
Be more happy: If you ask any of my friends they will tell Im probably the happiest person around, I hope to maintain that in 2006 and make more people happy in my company :D.
This was a very vague resolution and now that I think about it I would say I did fine on this one too :) There was the occasional burst of anger (and once of depression as well :( ) but they went away as fast as they came
Gain a little weight: This one is a serious one. I am terribly underweight and I need to something about it. Its not the concern about my looks(atleast not fully) mostly its the fear that if I get sick it will take me longer to recover and I would hate that.
I put a very concious effort on this one, even gained about 5 kgs at my best time :P but for some reson my body finds it very easy to lose weight untill an equilibium is achieved :P Well atleast over the year my equilibrium weight has increased :P Halfway thru the year I decided to kill the weight gain plan and move to a “be fit” plan. That has worked well so far
Learn a couple Languages: I learnt German in 2002 and since then just not touched any languages again. I plan to learn Kannada(Local language in Karnataka) and French(Anant was also interested in this).
FAILED at this one, did not even give this a decent try :P My bad…
Hobbies: I am very serious about my hobbies let it be Photography or Sketching or reading? I plan to add a few more to the list and follow them diligently.
Was well into Photography in the first half of the year, did not sketch much, reading went downhill(too few books but atleast I am still reading :P ) but I joined a course for Theater acting and that felt great :)
Well guess the year went well :)
