Don't we all love January 1... the first day of a brand new year. A chance to do something new, change something you've always wanted to, try something you have never tried before, stop doing something you've been wanting to stop for a while now.
The motivation levels are significantly higher, and somehow the flip of a calendar page makes us believe that we still can do something about our lives, about the people around us, and the world we live in. (they should have had the Copenhagen Accord on Jan 1, 2010. Would have reached a conclusion much faster!)
So I took in a big, deep breath of optimism - not the cautious one this time - and thought about my wishlist of things to do this year. My mind is dancing away thinking of the million possibilities to do something different in 2010. So I've decided to list it down and then try and narrow it down to achievable ones. Then again, you live only once. So here's my list for 2010 (as of 5 days into the new year).
What do you think? Do you want to do some of these too?
Oh, and the title. Believe it or not, you can survive in Bangalore without honking your way through traffic. 3 days and I haven't touched the horn even once. Makes you think. Forces you to be more patient, and in a way more humble. Because you're not elbowing to be the first one out. And believe me, it leaves you with a very different feeling when you park at the end of the day. That you let people be the way they want to be. That your life, and your car, was completely in your control today.
Happy new year! :)
