New year resolutions

Ah! It's that time of the year once again !!

Wish you a very happy new year.

I was just wondering about the alternatives for new year resolutions but chucking them out nevertheless ...

... but on second thoughts, some might be worth considering ...

Some random thoughts -

Resolution 1 -

To find out what is the purpose of life, universe and everything and come up with a non "32" or "42" answer

... but isn't this what I am trying to do the whole of last decade ??


Resolution 2 -

Continue keeping the 1024 * 2048 resolution (similar to RM's)

... but as things get hazier, it is likely to be broken ...


Resolution 3 -

Be myself

... I always promise so ... every year without fail ... and fail ...


Resolution 4 -

Write a book - Fiction to be precise (even if it sells 10 copies, 5 purchased by me :)

WIP ... Coming soon ...

(Well ... maybe, sometime in near or late future ... but definitely in this decade!)


Resolution 5 -

Travel ... Travel ... travel ... Explore ... explore ... Explore ... the country and the world ...

... Khair chhodo ... bahut baar socha, kabhi ho nahi paaya ... except on Wikipedia


Resolution 6 -

Give up ... unfollow my heart (as if i always followed it!) ... stop having my own views about random things .... and abandon that machine called brain and blindly do what I am ordained to do, think what I am ordained to think ... become a fatalist ... and live happily ever after!!

... but then ... I not a robot and can't be one ...

___

Whatever ... Best wishes for the year to come and years to come!

Art of question paper leaks

(Following is based upon a real discussion which I had today morning) As I was making efforts to keep myself afloat in the swimming pool, I overheard some conversations - "Puraa paper pataa hota hai, wo to humein mil hi jaata hai ... tab bhi hum nahi padhte hain" . .. and so on The guy who did bulk of talking looked around 15 years old and seemed like quite a spoilt brat. I chipped in with some expert comments and questions - "Which board?" "Kisi bhi board ka" After a minute of chat I gathered that he had just given Class 10 exams in ICSE board and was planning to take science stream(PCM), and he studied in a school (say SKP). He had earlier managed to do the same at his previous school (say CRK). Inquisitively, I tried to gather more information on how he manages to get the paper "Bus kuch nahi, security guard ko paise do. 8th, 10th, 12th ke papers. Wo ek extra copy karaa leta hai. ICSE ke paper out karna sabse easy hai. Koi seal nahi hoti" ...

The story behind credit card debts & personal loans

Any one with even an iota of interest in personal finance & its workings would probably know that credit card debts and personal loans are usually the worst kinds of debt traps that you can fall into. Yet many people fall into that trap again and again. Many people do come out of it eventually but some don't & this becomes a part of their "lifestyle". That you are eventually paying much more than you need to, if you default on credit card payments intentionally or unintentionally (probably @ 36 % per annum or something similar) or take a personal loan (say, @ 12% per annum or so) is not hard to fathom. However behind these numbers, there may be even a deeper story - that usually that of not having control over expenses or not having created a buffer amount. While there may be some pressing need like unplanned or recurring medical expenses which fuels sudden demand of money or an unexpected job loss, in many other cases this need may be fueled by lack of plani...
