Things i gotta do before 2010
This has been a long time coming, i know …in more ways than one (..not forgotten, Pops – lot to write about, no time to write..) – Goa got in the way (Goa was a blast, BTW.. but more on that later).. and then work.. and then.. well, you know how that goes.. anyway.
Ok, so we’ve all done it. Shamelessly. Every year.
You silently say, “This year I’m gonna quit smoking”..or “This Year I’m gonna condition myself to need just 4 hours of sleep a day”(That’s me in 2007.. go figure).. or “This year i’m gonna blah blah blah”… and then never go close to doing a thing about it!..
Not this year, I say! I have a fool proof plan – I have a ‘to-do list’! (..and we all know that a to-do list just MUST BE checked off..) ..and they aren’t my New Year’s Resolutions; they’re The 15 Things i just gotta do before 2010!
Clever me.
So here’s the list – a bit boring, a bit practical and mostly necessary..
1. Get a Damn Passport!
2. Get a Damn Car License (..which leads to..)
3. Learn how to drive a Damn Car.
4. Get back into some semblance of physical shape – Strong enough to kick Brendon’s ass (though probably I won’t) & Fit enough to run Next Year’s Marathon (though I probably won’t…)
5. Learn how to play the guitar… for the 2nd time!
6. Learn how to speak Hindi… for the 1st time! (Next year – Marathi! 
)
7. Start going to Church more regularly
8. Get my Ugly-Ass teeth fixed! (Damn cavities…)
9. Learn Braille (Still haven’t found the pattern in those damn dots!)
10. Learn Morse Code (yes Carlton, i am such a geek…)
11. Learn the Names of All the Countries – and their Capitals…
12. Learn the Names of All the States in India, where they are – and their Capitals.
13. Know the Greek Alphabet (I really don’t know why I want to, but I do..) (.pdf)
14. Be more Decisive!! (..dunno how that’s going to happen..)
15. Write blog entries more regularly!
Not much, I know – baby steps is what i say! ..and if I get 10 down, I’m happy! 
So, what plans for you and 2009? (C’mon.. give me 3.. or even just 1!)

lol, 1,2,3,6,8 – I totally agree with!
There are 3 blogs that I check everyday when I’m lukha at work
So following 15 will be super!
haha.. i’m gonna try to get in 3 – 4 blogs a week… we’ll see how that goes
also, I’m very interested in which 3 blogs these are…
http://www.balltalks.com (all talks no balls
– funny as hell though)
http://www.moneyoutofcontrol.com
and ofcourse yours!
Once in a while I check http://www.aviraj.com
this is a progress report and reminder comment…where are we on the above listed 15 points…
i would like for you to stress on 1, 2 and 3..very important…i think by the end of this year..then three things should come to very good use…
with regards to point 6..i think its not time for that now..learn some other language…you choose the language and that will give us a location we have to head to..some tribal languge…should be into the wild…be killer!! what say…
No headway yet, wrt the list..
But it’s a plan…
What thoughts on the next language… French? Zulu?
Sign language!
– what say we both learn…?
All I have to say is Geek boy!…and…I hate resolutions!
But still for me its 1.. just 1.. That would be enough..

gamma
delta
epsilon

iota

I was supposed to link the blog to this (or the .doc) earlier; but I’m a procrastinator at heart..
[...] back at my list of things to do before 2010.. and, to put it mildly, is a resolution [...]
Hi, nice writing.
