After abstaining myself from my own blog for full one year (2011) .... I'm back to pen down my thoughts on the very first day of this year (Its officially 01 Jan 2012 now!)
In restrospect, the year 2011 had mixed feelings for me with extremes of emotions and events. Lost people close in our family while new members joined in. Everyone grew older but some grew smarter ...
Last year's highlights were India's World Cup victory, Anna Hazare's awakening of the nation with his fast, biggest earthquake in Japan and continuing global economic downslide ....
On a personal front, I got new role in my office, my wife quit her job to spend time with me, went on my first ever holiday trip with closest friends to Shimla, my second brother got promoted to Colonel, my bhabhi expecting a baby this year ..... and more.
With a lot of learnings and realizations having poured in last year, it feels important that I instill them into my life. I have felt over a period of time that my will power has declined and am falling an easy prey to circumstances, which I want to stop .... my first resolution.
Becoming mentally strong and physically fit go hand in hand. I will try to read and enhance the knowledge about my field and use it judiciously. The brain needs to be tamed to learn and think in a focussed manner to reach its desired destination. The focus being an important part, I would need strong control to restrain from all tempting deviations .... where I feel some physical activity should help to keep me mentally active ..... my second resolution!
My lovely wife has taught me things that I never knew I could enjoy. There are self created boundaries around us (and our principles) which prevent us from enjoying life to the fullest. I'm a typical case who cannot find happiness at the most beautiful times while my lovely wife can create an aura of happiness and smiles with random happening events, such is her ability. The most difficult but key resolution is to learn from her and abide by those rules in my life ....
Let us hope that this new year turns up better than the previous ones .... wishing you all a new begining!!
