Promises to keep

If with Christmas comes good cheer and hope, then the arrival of a new year brings with it a sense of motivation. This is one time we inevitably end up looking back and up on evaluation want to make changes. But as the days fade away, occasionally so do the resolutions. Our inherent weakness and habit of coming up with excuses tend to get in the way. That is why on this last day of 2012 while making my list I am replacing every "I want to" with "I will". For once I intend to keep the following new year promises.

In 2013 I will be in better touch with my family and friends. I am going to start using the many easy means of communication available to us more effectively.

I will write more often. There are a number of issues that need awareness and debates and this blog is the perfect platform for voicing my concern.

Every once in a while I will set aside some time to do sketching. Home is where the (he)art is.

As per a recent suggestion made I will find new recipes, not necessarily of Indian dishes and give them a try. Then I will have more to offer on my platter. 

Finally, I will do my daily chores with the thought that they are all towards making someone happy and thereby, me.
