I do not know why, but I am quite fond of even numbers than odd. May be because they appear complicated but become simpler when divided by 2. Perhaps that is why I like 2014. So, inviting 2014 with open arms, I am making a resolution just like every individual on new year. But this one is less personal and more for India as an Indian.My resolution list is:
1) Throw waste items like piece of paper, wrapper, polythene cover only in dustbin and not fling carelessly outside.
2) Never bargain with the poor(have stopped doing so, but this time will ensure my friends don't do when I am with them)
3) Read newspaper and form an unbiased opinion about any matter, person, or subject rather than having a biased view that is influenced by someone in my family or friends who have the same view.
4) Look at the positive side of my street, locality, state and country instead of cribbing about the negative side of it.
5) Cook more often instead of relying on pizza or and other ready to eat stuff or maggi and pasta which we buy.
6) Catch up with movies that are meaningful rather than just seeing the "hit" aspect of any movie.
7) Plant a tree.
8) Read more and write more. Learn more English, Learn more Hindi and learn more of my mother tongue.
9) Go to museums rather than heading for mall. Go to the park, library to appreciate being with nature or a wonderful piece of writing instead of heading for a new restaurant or shopping for accessories just because someone's wedding is to be attended next week.
10) Travel more often to know more about people, place, culture of other states.
of course at the corner of my mind I have set personal goals like lose weight, get less angry with my toddler, spend more time in mouthshut etc. Dunno when would they get true. But the 10 things would remain priority this time. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014.
