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!

The Forest

The Toyota Qualis and the Chvrolet Tavera stopped after a long journey. It was almost 9 in the night and it was pitch-dark. Night times in a forest are always pitch-dark. Adding to that it was a good `thirteen days since the last full moon day. Adding to this, the cloudy weather made visibility close to zero. Later in the night the forest would be engulfed in a fog making it nearly impossible to see. The only noise audible was that of silence, few random insects and that of a train going at a distance. After a long journey they all were quite weary and all they wanted was some rest so that the next day morning they can head for tiger and rhino spotting among many other species of flora and fauna in the wildlife sanctuary. Right now it was time for some parathas, maggi and booze. All fifteen of them headed for the cottage which they had booked, sat near the fire place relishing food, chit chatting about college life, universe and everything. But chit chatting wasn’t what they came ...

Child Labor

He was 10 years old. When asked he said that he was 15 years old. He didn’t know why. It was just that his master told him to do so. His name was Raju. When he was born, he was named as Shivkumar, but that name did not suit his master. So his name was changed. His master owned a small juice shop in some big institute, with around 500 people. Most of these students were his customers. They visited him regularly for juice, cold drinks, eatables, cigarettes etc. This was a popular hangout, chiefly because of large credit extended by Sharmaji Raju had 3 other siblings -Two sisters of age 13 and 11 respectively and a brother of 7 years. The eldest sister worked in a small carpet making unit. She has been employed since 3 years and worked for 12 hours a day without taking and day off. Probably, in a year or two she will be married to someone from a nearby village. Probably her family would get few thousand rupees in bargain! The younger sister was employed full time with a sort of well to ...
