New beginnings and new resolutions!!

Novelty is always a craze : be it in fashion, stories or songs.. We always need something new to challenge and inspire us.. And new beginnings are always a chance to do something that we couldn't do so yet..

New year is celebrated with great pomp all around the world.. Technically its just a date we keep up with for earth completing a revolution.. Its just change of a calendar and date.. This year is extra special because it also is the beginning of a new decade.. 

What makes a new year special is the resolution to do things this year which you couldn't in the last.. Nothing changes until you change.. Drastic changes don't last, so start with baby steps.. Goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time Bound.. In short, a goal should be SMART.. And what better day to start than today..

And in a time where mental health is more affected than physical health, it is quintessential that we make deliberate efforts to realize the importance of sanity in our lives and in our loved ones.. The more connected we are to each other over gadgets, the more distant we've been with them in person.. This year let us also make an effort to connect.. In the book "Sapiens" the author describes how wheat or animals domesticated humans instead of humans domesticating them.. In similar lines, the technology that we developed for our ease is becoming master over Us.. 

In the coming decade, let's go back a decade or two and get back to being more around for people physically than over technology.. There's more comfort over a physical hug than 🤗.. Let us start digital fasting, speaking over texting and being available to one another.. The presence of people is a boon, and that is talking from experience..


Wishing you all a new beginning with loads of love, good health, success and inter-personal relations.. Happy new year!!!
