Happy 2011

Being a designer, when people talk about resolutions, the first thing that comes to my mind is 72, 150 or 300 dpi?

Every new year I think about what my resolution for the year will be.

And then I don't make one since its more than likely that I'll forget about it in a day or two.

In my teens I thought of getting a meaningful tattoo but then had nothing to say that would mean something to me years later. Luckily. Then I went into the whole let's try every Adventure Sport phase and tried none.

This year however I'm making up for all those years and making a whole list of them.

Today, the 1st of January for many seems like a new beginning and the New Year celebrations continue.

For me, it's all about Saturday Night Fever. No, not the movie. I just have fever on a Saturday Night.

Did I party too hard last night? Umm.. No.

I had decided not to attend any party where I feel coughed up from the room.

Or drink till I get pickled since unfortunately for me noone would be watching me lovingly with My Cherie Amour playing in the background.

Or be in a 5 foot radius of anyone about to throw up.

I attended a nice new year party which was pretty sober/ normal (besides the part where I was fencing with a bunch of balloons on a stick) and now after having recovered from it, I have decided to jot down some plans for 2011.

• Draw more cause I know I can do better.
• Learn to cook and try not being afraid of fire or knives for a change.
• Or draw and cook.
• Find love like this.
• Start cycling.
• Get a Sheila ki Jawaani body before Aku's wedding (since I feel like I'm starting to look like the food I've been over-eating. My mother has started calling me plumcake).
• Write more letters. Collect more stamps for my stampbook.
• Watch more movies. Especially the good ones in foreign languages. Maybe I'll try and understand them without subtitles.
• Travel.
• Write a book. On what I do not know.
• Finally setup my own website.

That seems to be a very long list.

So exciting/scary.

And if nothing works out I'll just have a 'tub-bath'.

(My mother's solution to all my problems).

But, to be honest nothing in life scares me all that much.

I guess that's cause I know how to enjoy life's simple pleasures.

For example, the other day I had a Frooti. It got over too soon. This made me very sad.

A minute later I had a Frootilicious burp and then life seemed lovely all over again.

Here's wishing you many Frooti filled burps this year.

Have a good 2011!
