Each year, all of us form an endless list of resolutions and decide we will do them dutifully. For some it might be starting a new hobby, for others it would be to quit smoking or drinking while for most people(like me) year after year the resolution is the same. Yes, you guessed it right. Losing weight. And invariably it goes ignored by the end of January. And I speak for the collective voice of most of the weight watchers who forget their vows in the heavenly abode of a Ferrero Rocher.
So I decided to cut the Resolutions list this year at the start of the year. What is the point of making a list that can never be followed. And anyhow each year it is more or less the same list, give or take a few things. After dumping the list, I felt pretty good till I read people declaring their special to-be-done-things for 2011 on Facebook and started having second thoughts about my Jan 1st decision.
So here I am at the threshold of February 2011 with 1 month almost complete and only 11 to go to fulfill the vows. Rather to think of them first and then go about fulfilling them as well. Another thought(I am so full of them) later, I figured that each year, there was a list of things that started with "This year I will...." etc and by mid year, it was always "This year I couldn't but next year I will....".
So 2011 has begun(and also reached feb) and I am taking a harsh stand on myself. From 'This year I will' it is 'This year I have to'...And what is it that I have to do you ask?
This year I have to be happy and keep people happy...
That's it. Plain Vanilla as all of us like it.
See I started my making you happy didn't I?
