The advent of every new year brings with itself the unseen pressure to make resolutions. Social media is full of people making promises to themselves and the world. So, I too decided to make some new resolutions this year.
I told myself that I will not eat sweets and chocolate this year. And well, today is the 8th of January and I have just now gobbled half a bar of Amul chocolate (the large one); so you can see how well my resolution is going for me.
I have never understood why we think that just because we are putting up a new calendar on the walls, and desks, we’ll manage to change ourselves too? Who came up with this idea of new year resolutions?
I always imagine not eating carbohydrates and sugar but here we are. New Year or not, where there is food there is me. I mean, the new year celebrations are full of tasty food too. We celebrated 1st of January with home made samosas and they were just perfect. And we didnt have just two but many more.
Of course, there are other resolutions too; like, taking care of my fitness, reading more books, and writing more. Maybe, add in a few famous series in the mix too. I want to have a fulfilling and entertaining year ahead.
I plan to read all of Agatha Christie’s books this year. I have read a few in the past but I’ve forgotten most of the stories and this year looks to be the perfect year for reading some murder mysteries.
I also got Murdle books for Christmas. I have started solving the puzzles and so far they have been good. Exercising the “little grey cells” is very important indeed.
Maybe I’ll also add a few murder mystery movies to my watch list. I did watch Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery on Netflix and quite enjoyed it.
With regards to Little Miss, the New Year has arrived with her attending her classes and therapy sessions. We are still battling cold and runny nose with little bouts of cough.
It seems the increased AQI and ever changing weather is going to drag this for a little while longer. I just hope for a healthier and happier new year for her.
