2013 has finally set in... at least in most parts of the world. It's time for resolutions, wishes and a lot of merriment! For most of us, it will be just another year with the same old resolutions that we hope to fulfill. (We've got to keep the faith, don't we, that someday we'll be able to live up to all of our resolutions?) For me, it's all about the excitement of the unknown... And all I can really wish for is a year that's as eventful, if not more, as the year gone by.
The previous year, saw some very big changes worldwide - some awesome, some not-so-pleasant and some downright ugly! We sunk to a newer low with gruesome rapes, mass-murders, shoot-outs while making brilliant discoveries in Science... And this post isn't about how we need to change ourselves or our mindsets(Too much of those already on the internet!), but all I'd really like to say is that there's always a little hope when the world's at its darkest. So instead of harping about it if, as an individual, we'd strive to focus on the glass half full rather than empty AND work upon our issues, it'd be a much better 2013!
Predictability comes with planning and what better way to describe plans than resolutions at the start of the year. Most people make resolutions and by the second week(if you're faster, then the second day) forget about it! To me resolutions sound a lot like learning - learning not to give up, learning from failure and sometimes just learning along the way... Something I achieve without making them at all! I love to draw up wishlists instead.. Unlike resolutions, they're so much more simpler and for a slacker like me, they're easier - 'cause they really don't involve forming any new habits(something I really hate!). My wishlist for this year - a tad bit more reading, more work, and more time with people whose company I enjoy. As simple as that and unlike resolutions, they aren't even that hard to fulfill.
On a parting note, a very Happy New Year to everyone! I *hope* to continue blogging and reviewing books as regularly as I can, this year :) Here's to an awesome year ahead *cheers*

On a personal front, it has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride -
graduation, friends moving away (Priyanka, Ananyaa, Shammi - I miss you
guys!), a dream job, my sister's wedding... Phew! Sometimes, I wonder
how I survived it all... (not to mention the end-of-the-world!) But then, I don't think I'd have it any other way... because if everything was predictable, it wouldn't really be as fun.
