I have pre boards next week, but somehow I couldn’t sit down to study money and credit before I posted something completely pointless like this over here. Before anything else, I’ll point out that the way I completely rely on Wikipedia to figure out the world, I have started seeking solace in this ‘post a diary’ thing over here. It makes me happier. And you don’t necessarily have to read what I put down, but I just have to write. It’s not a habit, not an addiction, definitely not a routine; it’s like the perfect sounding board. I keep ambling with the weirdest of thoughts, and this thing cares two hoots. And so I keep complaining and talking and writing and chattering and grumbling and bullshitting (for the lack of a better or a more suitable phrase)

So, listen up, you hopeless whatever, its New Year time and I am not wasting this amazing occasion studying, though most people I know will say it’s the most productive kind of work ever. But I demand to differ and we will argue on this later.

This is also the time for New Year’s resolutions, so I have invariably prepared a list of resolutions which I plan to keep, and a few which all of us should stick to.

1. I will not say “it’s okay” or “I am fine” when my heart is really breaking.

   
   




2. I will not pester my dad for a new phone.

   
   




3. I am going to dutifully write down the titles of all the books I have read this year and WON’T misplace it. Not this time.

   
   




4. I will not crib about how some author are so mediocre and come back to enjoy their novels thoroughly.

   
   




5. I will not have more than one slice of the cheese sodden pizzas.

   
   




6. I will not, never ever go out without an umbrella and will not sing ‘umbrella umbrella’ to annoy others.

   
   




7. I will broadcast the idea “reading is cool”

   
   




8. I will find out what scientology is

   
   




9. I will buy a lighter, manageable and lift-able handy dictionary

   
   




10. I will not refer to anyone as ‘vela’

    
    




11. I will practice math more neatly and on paper only

    
    




12. I will treat stationery better

    
    




13. I will gather enough points to send expensive gifts

    
    




14. I will think of a better username and get rid of the current one

    
    




15. I will continue writing sappy poems

    
    




16. I will not be self deprecating

    
    




17. I will recycle

    
    




18. I will not go around debating on things like-

    
    

a) Difference between boisterous and lively

b) Should good looking musicians be forgiven for making trash music?

c) Sachin Pilot versus Rahul Gandhi

d) What IS a big deal?

e) Whether toe nails grow faster than finger nails or not

f) Norah Jones is NOT Indian

g) Pizza Hut versus Dominoes

h) If you don’t like Bollywood, you’re not Indian

1. I will not chase moths shouting ‘what a pretty little butterfly that is!’

   
   




2. I won’t start each and every sentence with I

   
   

And a few which all of us should to follow-

1. Take stairs instead of the lift

   
   




2. Not dirty the roads

   
   




3. Not play loud music- not in the car, not at home not at parties. Nowhere, if its bothering others.

   
   




4. Not take jokes too seriously or get offended if somebody criticizes our choice

   
   

That’s it. Only four things I want from this world. How hard can it be? And these four are the things I strongly feel for; these aren’t just any random resolutions.

And because I have exams, and studies and tuitions and assignments and projects and home work and practical files, I shall continue to complain.

But New Year rocks and New Year celebrations rock even more.
