New year resolutions

Belated happy new year! It is the time of the year where people set goals and targets for the year. Most fall short by the first or second month. Even I do. But my last year's resolutions were actually so good, I accomplished what I set out for: learn 2 foreign languages, Italian and French. At a basic level, but yeah, enough to survive. And some other goals too, which I did achieve satisfactorily. So what

next? I have some resolutions this year too! Let me share some:

1. Get better at piano

This is compulsory. No two ways about this. For the past few months, I have become a little distant from the piano. But not anymore. I already started learning a song, one that is usually on my lips! The joy I derive from playing the piano, even if for little time, is very immense. And I already feel better. There is something magical about learning music, and at any cost, I do not want to disconnect from it. Do I have a plan? Umm… no. I have a new piano on my mind, but that depends on too many factors, and it is just a thought. But I know the instrument is absolutely gorgeous. I have already used it at the class, and was very pleased with it. Let us see how things go, and fingers crossed!

2. Write more

One more thing that I enjoy, but due to sheer laziness, take it for granted. People actually said that I write well! Compliments! In plural! But seriously though, I think I should write more. I already watch so much football, that I can analyze multiple teams. Why not do it? The one problem is that there is no one to review that stuff. I am going to be travelling a lot over the next few months, so why not write about that? Surely no problem about that? When I am travelling, I get a lot more time to write, so why not! So look forward to me writing more crap! :P

3. Get in shape

This. For so many months in the pipeline, but never materialized. Dunno why. But not now. I already started hitting the gym. I so badly want to get in shape! I have a tummy, that has managed to stay hidden from the general public, but irks me. Getting rid of it is top priority. Then, get something on the assortment of bones in my body. Believe me, I am so damn tired of those skinny guy and "invisible guy" comments. Let me try this time to build some mass. This one is going to be challenging. And I am up for it. B)

4. Talk more

This is the most challenging of them all. On an unprecedented scale as well. I am mostly a silent person, and prefer to talk mostly in private. Publicly, I almost never say something. The introvert in me stops the thoughts as they form, let alone reach my lips. As far as I remember, I have never been a loud mouth. I mean, I could be in the room, and you wouldn’t know it. That type of silent. But I wanna change this. Talk a little more, just little. This is not easy for me. For someone who just does not talk, to try to open his mouth at more moments, requires a bedding in period. The thing is, not many things come into my head in public. Ha! There you go. I mostly listen and observe. But now I need to talk! But what will I talk about? How about this? No, nobody knows this. How about that? I am not really sure anyone else is interested in talking about that. Then comes the talking in private part. I am verbose when I talk one on one. For me, two is company, and three is a crowd. Even when one on one, the conversation depends on the other person as well. What if that person replies in a single word? Like seriously. What am I !@#$%^& supposed to reply for "Achaa"? Huh!? Imagine how much it must suck to write a whole page, and get back one word replies. I mean put some effort people. Someone is actually making an effort at conversation. Maybe it is difficult for him/her. For you, it must be so easy, having something to say at all times, without having to put in much effort. Oh boy, this just became a rant. But still, I am going to keep on trying. Let me see where it gets me. If this ends up helping me, this would be one of the best ever resolutions!

So people, set yourself some resolutions, and try them out. Who knows what lies in store?
