Well. I know it is very late by now. Still "A very Happy New Year" to the very few who visit me here. Come every December 31st I have a very big dilemma. People call me and ask me what my new year resolution is. What do you tell them when you don't have any? Actually this time around, at the strike of midnight, when the new year dawned, I was on phone as usual. And there was this guy who asked me about my new year celebrations and my new year resolution. And I gave him my usual. "Nothing" :( Now was the more interesting question. The most logical sequel to it. "Why?" Oh God what should I say for that. Curt though I wanted to be I just blurted out, "I don't think the first of January is something special because the Earth has completed a round around the Sun. That too imperfectly. We keep correcting that blemish once every four years". :P How very typical of me.
Now I realize that it is time I broke that self-made jinx of mine. Ain't any day a good day to take a resolution that will do you good? At least let me use this first of January to correct myself. This is my new year resolution. "This year on I am going to talk less". For people who know me better, it shouldn't be hard to realize that this is as difficult to me as is scoring a test century to RP Singh. But I have indeed tried hard in the few days that this year seen and I would declare myself successful thus far. Wish me luck guys.
