Resolution for 2012

I'm waiting for the sun to come up while I write this. Watching the sunrise on 1st January has sort of become a tradition for me. I can't remember how or when it started but the idea was to see at least one sunrise a year. Many a times I have thought not to stay up so late and wait for the sun but rather rise with it and each time I fail.

Often while I'm waiting for the sun, I marvel about nature and how it awakens too each day. Sometimes I reflect on the year that was and other times I reflect on the year to be. Often I have thought even about the 'dhobis' because I always each year hear clothes being washed and I think how tragic is a life which has no holidays (breaks). I also try and think of resolutions for the new year knowing very well I'm not going to succeed in even a single. This year however I've decided to have just one simple single resolution. One that is easily attainable. I resolve to wake up to at least 12 sunrises in 2012. Simple enough. And if I decide to finish off these 12 sunrises in winter itself I don't have to wake up super early.

The reason to try this is so that I can at least make an effort to become a morning person.
Goodluck to me. Good thing about doing this again this year is that it is surprisingly cloudly today and that will ruin the sunrise and I get a second, third.....twelveth go at seeing the perfect sunrise.

Remember...

We often forget the most simple and true things.

How can they mend their ways if they don't know their ways needs mending?

Sigh

Sometimes I think that life is nothing but one tragedy after another.

I'm glad my life on most days doesn't seem like this but when I look around, I often wonder how some people get by day after day. Sometimes I think these people have a lot of strength. Other time I think that they have no choice. Maybe it is just time - it makes everything fade away eventually....

Wisdom

I once, many many years ago, heard this line on Candid Camera (I think) and it was so awesome that I still remember it - "I don't let anyone rent space in my head".

Sharing it so that you can remember it too :)

Some more funny stuff

A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument....




If I sleep to much, my parents complain.
If I don't get enough sleep, my parents complain.
If I eat too much, my parents complain.
If I don't eat enough, my parents complain.
If I'm always in my room, my parents complain.
If I go out too much, my parents complain.
I CANT WIN :|

Totally loved this so am sharing it everywhere I can ;)

Be Smart by thinking others are Smart.

The mistake a lot of people make often is that they assume other people don't have a basic level of intelligence.

Don't be a fool. Assume people around you HAVE basic intelligence.


[I've uploaded a lot of these as Facebook updates so just replicating them here. For the few people who would be on FB and following this blog - apologies for the repetition]

Trust

Some things are very important in life and I find that one of those important things that people really lack, which they really really need is Trust.

Copying

There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
......We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

Hehe

One day, long, long ago. There lived a woman who didn't nag, whine, and b!tch. But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day....

Not mismatching

You are good at jobs that match your personality.

Criticism

The less open you are to criticism, the less you will learn in life.

Happy New Year :)

Haha

A small kid wrote to Santa Claus - 'Send me a brother'. 


Santa wrote back - 'Send me your mother'.


Happy New Year ;) Have a fun-filled 2011.

Awesome quote

“One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.”
 Erich Fromm

Earning money is hard work.

I don't want to earn lots of money. I want to HAVE lots of money.
