Happy New Year

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day"


I love New Year as its a day where we think whom we are, what are we doing, what needs to be improved. Its like taking a new birth. Excitement fills when we remove old calender and hang up new one.

For me, the day usually begins with a special delicious breakfast prepared by my cute mom (Of course helped by me & my special dad). Then, I would go for a temple near by - by default its "Murugan Temple". Rarely, My sister accompany me.


So now its time to welcome 2010. Of course its a special year, as many miracles are going to happen in my family :)
Every-year I make a list of resolutions which expires with a validity period of 1 day.

Every Year,My New Year's resolution will be,

• I wont fight with my sister.
• will get up in early morning - (yes, getting sharply at 9.00 followed by suprabatham of my mom)
• Wont watch TV
• Listen to my mom & help her in cooking & cleaning the house.

Making New Year resolutions are very easy. Keeping track of it is very hard. In fact, Experts says, 97 percent of New Year resolutions are broken. Yes, this year too I have taken some resolution with a confident of implementing it.

My New Year's Resolutions 2010:

Repeat of last year's Resolution ;)

• To Read more books
• Start doing Exercise -My Mom's request, (PT Master request)
• Family Trip to Abroad - I need to take my parents (its ok, my sister also) to some place outside India, may be Singapore.

I stop with 3, as I believe too much resolutions lead to No action.
From my resolutions, its clearly understood that I am not going to sacrifice anything. Just going to add some good habits- to make my life colorful. As a positive quote says, "Dont imagine a white elephant" tempts to imagine a white elephant. I don't want to repeat a bad habit by saying "I wont sleep till 9:00". Instead, "I will get up at 7:00" :)

Women are so special :)

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well. . .

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are; Who may be earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have, because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered kitchen in her life just like you or your sister haven't,
as she was busy in her studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for the "art of cooking activities".

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave all, her home, her brothers and sisters, people who love her, her pet dog.....

To adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family,your family name .......... One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain;

To be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners;

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met; One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your generous support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this.
Please appreciate "HER" I hope you will do.
