My Alleged New-Year Resolutions

Apparently this is my first and last rambling post for the year. I still do not know how my incessant mind did not propagate its chatter in the blog. Well, better late than never!.

New year is right around the corner and the first thing that came to my mind is too obvious - resolutions I took this year (Failed resolutions, to be more accurate). Right from mundane goals to essential targets everything has gone to shambles.

First and foremost, I started with the reading goal of the year. I made a A-Z list of books even before the year started - 2 books for each letter and none of the authors should repeat. Only after the list was ready I found it difficult to the e-books (Hard copies could have made biiiiiggg hole in my wallet). That's when I also realized, there can never be an exhaustive list for books that I wanted to read. 52 was like a drop in an ocean. I could only read 65% of the list and the rest is history. Mind you! I did finish 52 books for  this year. So I get half-a-credit for this one.

Next is the most ill-fated fitness regime resolution. This one has been going on for some years now. I was on and off a walking routine for general health. But my laziness has won the war and I am back to my slothful existence. It suits me better, you know! 😏

In the yesteryear my fervor for trying random things has made me join the driving school, buys books to learn a new language and so on. It has become more a bucket list and less the new-year resolutions.

There was a wave of statements some time ago where people said, 'My resolution this year, is not to have any resolutions.' Doesn't the first part defeat the second part of the statement? 😕😑

Have any of you reading this able to keep-up to the resolutions? What do you think I should try this year? I am thinking of posting something every month from next year to keep the blog alive.

Until next year, Ciao!!
