Change is good...Always

I've taken a long hiatus from blogging. Things have been going crazy different and crazy busy for me in the past 4 months. Firstly, I've moved across the country!!! I lived in New Delhi and now live in Bangalore. It's been 3 weeks since I've been here and so far I love the place. The weather is absolutely gorgeous every day. I repeat, EVERY DAY! My sister lives here and I have moved in with her and together we paint the city red ;)

In other news, I've got a new job here and just started working this week. See I told you I was up to a lot this year! After some soul searching and a much needed sabbatical, I'm working in an industry I love and am excited to be part of again.

Packing my bags and leaving my parents, city and friends was not an easy task, but I definitely need this change in my life, personally and professionally. I'm hoping for the best to come out of this decision and honestly I can feel the positive change in me already! :)

On that note, I need to get my amo back on and get some serious blogging done. New city, new job, new me...I'm sure there's enough to inspire and conjure some great posts!

Change is scary but good...Always!

I must. I must. I must.

I read a funny quote recently, " I made a resolution about 10 years ago to never make a New year's resolution. I've been 100% successful."

For years on January 1st I would fish out a brand new little diary and neatly pen down my new year's resolutions ( I like to start the success from day 2 as I feel the 31st madness spills over to day 1 as we're all still groggy and trying to recuperate) Within the next fifteen days to a month what followed.. well, let's just say is a different story! ;P

Last year I didn't make any resolutions and led myself to think that January first did not mean that things will be clearer than they were the day before. It was just the first day of another year

Come to think of it, "isn't it better to look back at the year before , not in judgement, but because that year is over? Why not take this time to look forward and realize that this is the beginning, but not "THE" beginning. " - here. How about we just be more positive and work towards a better life and a better you on a day to day basis rather than confining ourselves to creating a list of " I will's and I must's?"

Not! ( Borat style ;P )

I am back to making them this year. I missed glancing at my diary every now and then and scolding myself for being bad or indisciplined regarding my resolutions. I know I make um' and break um' , but just the feeling of being positive and writing one's do's and dont's for a better you/year is super self satisfying :)

Here's my top 5:

1. I Must and I Will learn how to cook
2. I Must and I Will learn to ride a motorcycle
3. I will stop biting my nails
4. I Must and I Will stop being lazy and lead a healthier lifestyle (sleep discipline, eating better and getting fit)
5. I Must and I Will be more positive and not unnecessarily worry and get hassled by trivial things

If I can work any three out of five, I've done myself proud! :D.

What are your 2011 resolutions? Have you made them work for you?

Cheers to a new me and a new you. 2011....bring it!
