What a fantastic start to a new year. I have been vacationing in California as if I own the place. Hollywood was fun. Disneyland was pricey and overtly hyped. Universal Studios is where I would want to pay tribute to a couple of times more. Never before have I been able to see the idea, innovation, the skills, the technology, and the hard work that goes behind filmmaking. Sunny San Diego was the best of all. Lots of great beaches, the sun and the sea and the sand -- just my kind of a place. I just made my retirement plans to settle in southern California. Northern California and the bay area had fascinated me so much, but it is nothing compared to southern California. N. CA is a mini-India. Or maybe a mini south India stuck in sand. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s just not my kind of place.
Resolutions. What to say about them. So many are made and broken every year. By the time it is February, the resolution excitement of the new year has died down. Nevertheless, resolutions would be made every year. This year, it should be lots of travelling. This year, it should be getting back in shape and learning to drive. This year, it should be performing in more plays and discovering skills in myself. This year, it should be bettering myself at people skills and personal relationships. This year, it should be more of quality writing to justify the writing courses I have been taking. I want to read more books. I want to go to new places. I want to know of everything. I want to dream for the stars, and actually be able to reach some of them. I haven’t written a poem in ages. I haven’t touched a musical instrument in ages. This year, I want to get in touch with myself once again.

hi, nice set of New Year Resolutions...What I liked the most is that you have taken some writing courses to enhance your skills...
Yours is one of the first blogs I got hooked to:)) n as I too have taken plunge into this vast blogging sea, hey wish me good sailing....:))
I'm glad this post saw the light of the day! :)
I don't make resolutions anymore. No point. I like it better when I try to change or make a change for no reasons at all, rather than waiting for a reason. It is much more effective that way.
And better late than never - Happy Belated New Year :)
