If I have to state my “Resolution for 2010” in one word it'l be Prioritize. But that's not really measurable, is it? Elaboration time.
One: Spend Less time in the Online world...
... and more in the real world.
How?
Fewer blog posts (this is my 62nd post for the calendar year 2009 – that's too high don't you think?)
Less time on Facebook – no, I'm not one who spends endless hours playing Farmville or Mafia Wars; or taking “What-kind-of-extra-terrestrial-creature-are-you” quizzes. Yet, I think I spend way too much time updating my FB status. So gotta keep a check on that. BTW, did I mention how much I had to shell out for GPRS and for the SMS'es which I use for updating FB from my mobile?
More tweets. Twitter is the perfect tool for people who want to voice their opinion but still want to keep it short!

Two: More outdoor activities
Travel more
Take more photographs (and spend less time processing them :)
Three: Be Healthy, Stay Healthy
GAIN WEIGHT :D
Be regular in some physical activity like sport/gym/cycling – anything.
Four: Learn more household tasks
Currently I'm only good at washing utensils, or operating the washing machine. This year I want to learn cooking, cleaning, shopping, provisions, grocery – basically contribute more towards running the house!
Five: More dedication to my Social Responsibility
I want to take any one cause (like TeachIndia) and make a more meaningful contribution to it in 2010 than I have been able to do all these years. This is opposed to what I've been doing so far – dipping my fingers in everything and not making a meaningful impact in any!
Six: WORK-LIFE BALANCE
I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. This point, in conjunction with the five above will ensure I get myself a life in 2010, which is more then just work and a good virtual presence!!
Dude, did u mention you are good at washing utensils.. ??? Thats a dangerous revelation to make considering you are aged enough to marry. Watch out.. :))
hey Kiran...really well written...one has to give more time to the hobbies..Wait a sec…did everybody know what are their hobby..One must have forgotten their hobbies in face book world…I really don’t remember what is my hobby which I like doing for hours and hours….This blog is really inspiring to discover one’s real happiness in E-world…Nice blog ..
Avery happy new year.
You have covered mostly everything under the sun.
Me thinks hope if over-hyped. For hope is denial of the present.
There is a stamp of reality about the present which the past and future do not have. What makes the present so different?
Obviously, my presence. I am real for I am always now, in the present, and what is with me now shares in my reality.
Work-Life Balance...Yeah! Sure.! Lemme see you live upto that..
and where is the Getting a Girl in my Life resolution..!!
You Must...or mayb I'm all unawares...Eh!?
Dude, that's nice to hear.. Except for the point 5, others clearly specify that your getting ready for marriage this year ;)
Hey Kiran, I completely agree with Points 1 and 3. It's good you realized it coz it was highly irritating to see you updating your FB status even while we were on an outstation-trip :-)!
Motivating, inspiring resolutions!! Made me notice some thins I need to work on too... a better fitness routine for instance! I also hope you do find your cause and are able to work on it... with best wishes for a happy new year :) Have a great, healthier 2010 with lots of fresh air, exercise and sunshine :)
@PC, @Kumzz, @Napster: Guyz, guyz .. this is a purely a resolutions post and its got nothing to do with marriage. OK?
@muks: Yep .. e-world is good but I think I'm over-doing it .. heck . .everyone's over-doing it. And the ones which really serve no purpose are games! I hope I spend more time in the real world this year onwards :)
@BK Chowla: Not really everything under the sun (see comment one to know what I mean :) .. and a very happy new year to you too.
@Di: Well, actually I think spending a few minutes online from my phone (for example on the bus) is still better than spending all "home" time online! But yeah - updating FB during the trip was taking it too far :)
@IHM: Thanks! And yes - I really do want to make a noticeable difference this year. Hope this is not one of those resolutions which end up being broken.
You are saying NO, but Marriage seems to be on cards this year dear :-)
Anyways, weight gain ke liye kya karne wale ho? share that too in a different blog-post, I can get a few free advice :-)
