Yes, new year resolutions are always a source of rib-tickling fun. They sprout like mushrooms in the monsoon, and vanish in to the stratosphere, like the promises of many a 'neta' types.
These kind of resolutions mostly include health care, and, as a result, exercises. In the white heat of the New Year enthusiasm ( the wicked may argue that actually in the aftermath of a huge hangover! But that is okay. Some people never improve. Oh, no, I am referring to the nasty no-sayers!), people rush to the gym, buy the costly annual membership, to 'suit' which there is a purchase of Nikey shoes and branded gym-type clothes, and all.
Tops it is a week that the "josh" lasts. After a week or so, if Vicky Kaushal were to ask his trademark "how is the josh?" question to such gym-goers, there would be a deafening silence because, in the first place, there would not even be handfuls left to answer him!
Most such New Year resolutions, not to drink, not to smoke, not to waste time, not to use the mobile constantly, for instance, evaporate in to thin air faster than river beds in the heat of summer. Yes, they are made in the haze of a vague feel, are not genuinely thought through. Hence they are thus transient.
Issues you genuinely care for never need such resolutions because they are etched on to your very soul. No amount of disturbances, destructions (by the power-mongers rampantly crowding every possible field), despair or depression (currently oh-so-fashionably popular) can distract you from your goal, your target, however impossible it may appear, and quite often.
In brief, barking dogs never bite! Those who are lazy or disinterested, an excuse sure they find, while those ready for grind, sooner, not later, their destinations, sure they find!
Pratima@ It is most remarkable that Mr. Devendra Fadnavis chose to spend the first day of the New Year in Gadchiroli where he welcomed back in to the main fold many 'wanted' naxalites, and boarded the first ever state transport bus to Chattisgarh.
Such gestures do send a very positive message in a political climate far too long dominated, nay, vitiated, by the Beed incident. The C.M. sure deserves a huge round of applause. Hope the metal mines there are environment-friendly, and related industries empower the local Adivasi's.
