The New Year has started and it feels great...A new year to look forward to. Many a things to aim for and accomplish... Ah!!! Who am I kidding? It just feels like any other normal day of the week. Nothing special to do. A mixture of feelings including boredom, laziness and restlessness are surrounding me and making my head go haywire... So here I am writing about something that has always made me think about how we humans think and work...
All of us have heard of the various promises that people make to themselves during the start of the year or as we popularly know them as New Year resolutions...I'd like to steal a line from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" which I relate with the New Year. Its goes like:-"What is new year (it's actually Christmas for those of you who didn't know) but a time to pay bills, a time to find yourself a year older, but not a penny richer." And so it is, except for a lucky few no one seems to go any far ahead in following the New Year spirit...The big corporate companies, being the corporate mosquitoes that they are, use their minds to cash in on our little glitches by advertising and giving us hope that these so called problems in us can be eliminated... May it be quitting smoking with the help of nicotine gum or getting fit or slim by going to a gym... According to me these problems are best tackled by the person himself / herself (didn't wanna be sexist)...These are just a few ads I could think of cause I have a dire need for both of them... I gotta get fit and really need to give up smoking, its ruining my life, and my lungs (cough cough...).
Another one of my favorite new year resolutions is the one made by students (including me)...What is the one thing that some students wanna do but only a very tiny fraction are able to do?? I think you might have guessed it by now (that is if your mind isn't wandering to dirty thoughts), every student has at least once made a resolution to study more, seriously or jokingly (mostly jokingly)... But yeah we all go through that phase where we are unsatisfied with what we have and desire for more...Let it be more marks, knowledge or any materialistic stuff... We all have wanted something’s we couldn't get... Just realize it, nobody's perfect...
That brings me to my New Year resolution, about which I have started having second thoughts ... I have made a New Year resolution to start studying and do my homework... Though many of my friends (and even some senseless asses who aren't my friends and whom I don't wanna mention) think that I study a lot, the scene is totally opposite of what really goes on... If you are in my class you will get to know that I have become totally useless... My homework is never complete and studying is quite far of as well... I keep myself optimistic but everyone knows that it’s only partially helpful...I hope I stick to studying or at least completing my homework... Wait a minute, that's what I said a week ago, now that I remember it was the same thing that I said a month ago as well and even the month before that one... I think you get my point. No matter how much I try I can never seem to build up the motivation, desire or determination to study... But I'm sure that I am not alone on this. Leaving a few great souls the same must be going on with you as well... So that's my point. What’s the use of taking New Year resolutions??? If you couldn't do it the whole year, what magic will help you start doing it in the New Year? Resolutions are just a thing invented by humans for the satisfaction of their mind...You know you won't stick to it but deep down there's always a hope that this time will be the one in which you stick to your resolution and make your life better... But I'm cool with it because you can't realize your dreams until you have them... Right... So, for you to achieve your dreams you first have to sleep and have them first, correct me if I'm wrong...: P
So I'd like to end my blog now, hope you liked reading it... I know that some of you might disagree with what I think, but these are just my views about the topic... And if you really disagree go and write your own blog because you'll read only my view point in this one...: P
P.S- I really want to apologize for not updating my blog for over a month... Just couldn't come up with anything worth writing about...
P.P.S- I don't smoke, that was just a joke...
