# So, I could not *achieve* that target I set myself 5 days before the year ended. It seems the part of my brain which does math was in hibernation. It is quite humanly impossible to achieve such a target when one has to travel with family for 2 days out of those 5. Note to self - Get some reality checks before setting targets. Will save the disgrace [drama] of not achieving them, no ?
P.S. I managed to finish only one book out of that list - my consolation!


# I have found my twitter-self. Yes. Again. I was feeling a huge disconnect from it for a long time. But I have found that chord. I am off newspapers [which I tried reading/making a habit] once again. It did not work thankfully! So twitter is back as my sole information gaining and sharing channel.

# I realized last year [cannot tell the exact moment, as when an epiphany comes I consciously ignore it] that I have a conscious habit of being too hard on myself. From childhood we are taught that being frivolous doesn't pay, which is a good teaching I think. But sometimes one does need to relax and be reasonable. I am consciously going to try that with myself. That does not mean I am going to be frivolous [raises eyebrows]. It just means I will run the race at my pace.


# I am not being biased here, but desi channels have *nothing* worthwhile to watch! I started watching that Madhuri Dixit show, but a friend pointed out how the camera angles were being edited to hide all the performance flaws. And I was like whaaaa!!!! So there! Now I have *nothing* to watch/follow and be cool.
Life is surely sad. [long pause] Sigh...
I am back to watching sports, discovery, travel and living, and movies occasionally.
Also Master Chef Australia was a really good show which got over last week. I am more than inspired to cook and plate it up!
