*Answering back to myself*- Sakshi, I guess, its tooo early to make new year resolutions for next year...
*Rethinking... and contemplating *... what the heck, which rule book says that I can't put my life in order whenever I want.
Yeah, so, I want to make sure that I put my life back in order.
Not that it is not in order.
But, for some reason, this year, there has been a whirlwind around me, and no concrete decisions have been taken at all.
I need to make certain decisions.
I can't think straight about these things. How can I make a decision on them?
So Iam bulleting the confusions and resolutions of my life right here so that I can hopefully think straight and make up my mind...
- There is a family vacation that is coming up in December, and I have to loose weight come what may. The vacation is in Goa, and that is killing me even more- I have to have to look good and not like a fat ass.
- I have decided to run in the 'Great Delhi Run' as a part of the Delhi Half Marathon, so, I have to, no, I need to start training for it.
- I need to start waking up early in the morning.
- I need to need to start studying. I know for sure that, it is the only thing that can keep me sane.
- I have like 5-7 books that I need to read. No, not because its a compulsion but because, I love to read, its something that can keep me away from the distractions that I want to be kept away from.
- I need to stop watching T.V., especially the stupid daily soaps, that irritate the hell out of me, but I still watch them.
- I need to start sleeping on time. I mean i love the late nights, and especially those coy calls and whispered chats with Shayon, but, that just leaves me so much more cranky and lazy and sleepy the next day.
- I need to have more productive days. Even, if they mean just reading. It is much more better than lounging around and doing nothing. I have been lazing around way too much for my own good.
- I need to figure out, what and where I want to be next year at this time. Where, is like decided- I know I want to be in Mumbai next year, after my grads... but then, how am I going to land up there? Where should I apply for a job, so that I can actually get it...
- I need to be more brave about talking about myself, and about my dreams to my parents. They may be the only people in the world who can be the most judgemental towards me, and still have no choice but to accept me. So, might as well start working on the equation..
But- I do know, that I have backup dreams. Yeah back up dreams... have you ever felt in your life that- 'This is what I want, and if I get just this thing, my life is set' and when you do get that thing, you feel that you are not meant for that thing.. and you see your dreams falling apart? You feel all that you have worked for all your life- the goal that you had set out was not a goal meant for you at all... then what?
I know, then what- Then you have to simply treat that goal as a milestone in the long road ahead, to truly find your goal.
I know this, because- I have been through this. And, its always good to move on.
I just hope that- I am able to follow what I have written.
PS: Oh, yeah- I am a total Dan Brown fan. And his new book- The Lost Symbol is getting released on 15th September. Please- all those who wished that that they wanted to give me a birthday gift and couldn't do so, should try and find me a soft copy of the book. (I could have asked for the hard copy also, but its way to expensive... if anyone is buying it for themselves and then let me borrow that to read- You are more than welcome to that)
***************************************************
Perfection is never the goal of life, and no, I do not want a perfect life. Perfect life is BORING. No, I do not aim for perfection either, I am just aiming for a life that- I can call mine, and when I look back to it, I can smile and sigh in satisfaction....

Awesome!
I completely agree with you when it comes to making a new start when you feel like the most and no need to wait for some auspicious day!
Good going.. Nice list of jam packed action items. I am only concerned that you have too many things to focus on. I suggest you prioritize top 3 and align the rest as time demands.
By the way, I like your last para the most! Life is never perfect nor one wants to live that way :) Deviations from perfectionism make us learn so many things in life :)b
Sakshi,
One can make resolutions any time. It is just a convention to do so for New Year. To lose some weight, if you really need to, start walking as much as you can and use stairs for going up. I am also thinking of taking part in Delhi Half Marathon. Also devot your time to constructive things. Reading is good as it opens up your mind. Do try to see Delhi to know it more.
Take care
PS : Replied in my space.
belated happy b'day..I am also a big Dan Brown fan..will surely look around for a soft copy and let you know if I find it !!
@ Mohan
Prioritizing,well, it took me 9 months to get my list in order... this huge word from starting from P, is gonna take a lot of time... though I hope not.
The last paragraph is completely original. Thank you.
@ Uncle J
:)
I hope that I am able to make it to the Marathon..!!!
@ Toon India
So, sweet, Thanks.
Wow...I do the same thing when I find myself looking around for nothing...no aim, no goal. And weight loss appears to be a common girl's problem! Sigh!
Backpacking across Europe sounds amazing!! If you want something that bad, it is bound to happen. Maybe not right now..but in your words, thou shalt fulfill your dreams. :P.
Just hang in there girl, you'll be fine in no time.
@Shalini
I love your confidence me girl..!!! :)
its never too late to decide :)
and that book does not have good reviews i heard :)..your dreams need to be more specific like the initial few which you will achieve..like that getting ready for GOA one..that was sweet :)
@ani
Never judge a book by its critical reviews.
There are certain terrible books that have gotten rave reviews...!!
So I still want that book..!!!
