With a belief that, I’ll be able to stick steadfast to them, I’ve made two fresh resolutions. Firstly, I’ve made a promise to always speak the truth. Secondly, I will make a habit of getting up early in the morning, do regular workouts and revise my lessons and never waste my time.

Gatherings, get-togethers, and fun sharing are the part and parcel of New Year celebrations. But, New Year is also the time when we give up our old habits and make fresh and strong new resolutions. I have my own set of resolutions that I believe will motivate me to accomplish my goals. As I ventured into college, in the year 2005 I found that I lacked proper dedication in my studies. So my New Year resolution is to manage my time and build a more serious attitude towards my studies. Secondly, I’ll remain smiling and joyful at all times.

‘Resolution’ is a ten-letter word that most people intend to keep at the beginning of every New Year. Everyone’s looking forward to begin his or her life afresh, leaving aside bitter experiences of the past and live in the present. The first resolution that I ever made was to stop lying and biting my nails. This year too I’ve made many New Year resolutions. But the two resolutions, which I really intend to keep in the year 2006, are: to build up a positive attitude towards life, so as to be able to make a difference in each of my undertakings. I really want to prove that I am useful and be more reasonable.

While most of us happily ushered in to the New Year partying and making fun, some others still weep in some dingy corners.

It is the start of a new year and the beginning of a new way of life

I have a huge collection of events and incidents (sad and happy) taking place in and around my surroundings. Based on true incidents some of the events are very touchy and interesting. This year I am planning to give them a final shape and bring them out in the binding form so that every reader could read and enjoy it.
