Resolutions.....

Some Resolutions for the year ahead...It took me two full weeks to find out some meaningful resolutions for the year ahead..not that I was researching on it but was lazy...:)-Thought I would pen them down..( and also publish ..) so that I do not console myself with the excuse that only I knew of it..:)-
1. Read the complete bible once. There is online bible which has the chapters of Bible sorted out such that Bible can be read completely in 365 days

2. Learn and do Yoga: In fact, I went to join for the Yoga class here in office but it seems many had this in their New Year resolution and were faster than me to join. So they asked me to come and check in the beginning of next month... :(-
3. Read at least one book in a month and post the review of the same. Had this in my resolution of 2008 (though not the review part of it)..However could read (only) the below books.
· Jonathan Livingston Seagull- Richard Bach
· Dabbawallahs of Mumbai - K S Srinivas
· To Kill a Mocking bird - Harper Lee
. Tuesdays with Morrie -Mitch Albom
· The Namesake - Jhumpa Lahiri
· A thousand splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini
· 'Thalamurakal' - O V Vijayan
· 'Jeevithamenna Albhutham'
· Riot- Shashi Tharoor
· Anthem - Ayn Rand
· We the Living - Ayn Rand
( And I became a fan of Ayn Rand's ideas of Individual Freedom )
4. Learn a new language (Either German or Japanese)
5. Have a timetable in life.. Though it may be difficult to have one for the entire day , schedule at least the sleeping hours. And follow it on all days including Saturdays and Sundays...:)-
6. Join for a postgraduate course off-Campus or online . No idea of how I would implement it. Let’s see.
7. On the professional side: Pass the OCP exams in SQL,PL/SQL ,Advanced SQL and PL/SQL...
8. Learn to "Forget and Forgive" more...and keep smiling..:)-
and to greet at least 100 of my friends on their B'days..
