2012

I have been thinking about some of things which I would like to do in 2012. Its not really a resolution but just a to-do list for me. Following is something I came up with (pretty quick to my surprise):

• A long drive : I would like to go for a long drive around 1000 miles at least. I went to glacier national park this year with friends and I really enjoyed it. I think for this year we can target Yellow Stone or somewhere in California. The best part is the drive itself , stopping at random places to sleep and eat. We could do it over a long weekend with one day off. Best time would be May long weekend?
• A trip to New York: I think it's high time to make a trip to New York. I have been hearing so much about NY and really wish to see the place. Though I feel the best way to get a feeling of a city is to actually live there , but I think a 3-4 days visit would probably do.
• A working year: I think I was not really up to my 100 % efficiency last year. This year I would like to do more creative work then just lazing around. It could be office work , or some other hobbies( we will come to that later) or just a better time management.
• Writing: I think I have to find out how good I can write. ( I probably have the expectation set , but would like to see if it can be improved). There are 3 types of writing I would like to try and then concentrate on one of them: a)Blogging b)story plot  and c)script . So you should hope to see more blog posts from me :) . I also have to make sure that "A hard working year" doesn't conflict with Writing. I usually can't focus on 2 things.
• Finding myself: I have a difficulty in knowing what I really want and I think this is purely driven by social factors. I have been meaning to be more clear with what I want ranging from smaller stuff to bigger events. I have to re-discover myself. Lets see how it goes.
• Arranging house: spending some time in making the living place a little better and mostly renovating it to resonate with us.

few more to-dos would be to make a europe trip , skiing practices etc.

This list contains common stuffs that a person usually does in life. My goal is to make sure doing it better and in a complete way. When you work on something it should move forward , One should be able to measure if he is actually doing what he had planned. I have never been good with lists, assuming that I can always refer my memory, no need of a list. But the problem is, you never do that. Whereas when you see the list ,it reminds you what you wanted at some point of time and its OK to think that you may not want the same,but it makes you think. One ingredient for a satisfying life is to know that you did or tried what you wished for.

One more thing you might observe the change in the theme of my blogs. I usually don't like to write about myself , I like to be the observer where the subject is something else. But as you can see I have hardly written many blogs. I would move to make myself as subject , not that I feel like a celebrity,but purely due to  the idea of writing-more-makes-you-write-more.My blogs can still contain information that might be useful , but the chances that they will try to influence your thinking might be reduced.

and a sincere thank you for reading it till here and happy new year! :)
