This is not the time for making New Year resolutions; neither had I displayed any tendency to keep my resolutions in my past if I had made any.

But this year is not like others. I am independent -personally and financially- and can follow my impulses. Speaking about impulses, there is not much fun in following impulses unless you know that you are flouting a rule or there is no one to stop you from doing it. I do miss being the innocent child I was.

Now coming back from my colorful past, (I lied when I wrote I had an innocent childhood) let me make a few resolutions.

My first resolution is to maintain fiscal discipline. My strategy of overspending and shopping my guts out so that I get bored of it has not yielded much result. On the contrary I have become a shopoholic whore who has to be taken on numerous sessions of retail therapy to come out of his ennui. Ok before I put this resolution in effect, why not fulfill my wish of having things that I could not buy this year. They include spa collection of Shieshedo for hair and Body..perfumes from Isse Miyaki, hugo boss some small toileteries from Loreal. Well that's enough considering the winter is coming to an end and I have to replenish my 'cornucopia' with summer goodies. Hey, that reminds me that I have to overhaul my summer wardrobe too. And what about accessories..I have to buy decent pairs of shoes formal and casual, sandals, belts, watch and eye wear too so that the look doesn't look incomplete.

After writing this I feel glad that I actually came up with a list of things that I wanted.. This exercise is so cool...Ok now you might ask me why did I choose fiscal discipline as my first resolution..Arre, so that I can spend it all when it gets accumulated..Every friend of mine is heading towards foreign shores. Why should I be left behind in motherland..I too want to go on my own terms and on my own money. So I wish to have at least one foreign trip (barring SAARC countries..no,no I won't mind visiting Maldives..only the rest, I won't go to) before my next new year.

My third resolution would be to have somebody..(not some body- you pervert!!) special in my life. Though I have many special people in my life -Wait, here no way I mean an autistic person by special, though I have nothing against them. Now special is very vague way to put across my requirements and as a consultant I must put structured and well laid out details. So if you are reading this and feel you are special because people have told you so consistently, you know where to find me.

Now making four resolutions is bit too much. Isn't it..But You might be surprised that my last resolution is my oldest and my most favorite, So why have I put this in the end. Because I know there are as much chances of me sticking to my resolution as Rakhi Sawant marrying Abhishek..not the beefy choreographer but our AB junior, Abhishek bacchan. How on earth would I be able to get a body better than Hritik Roshan, Michael Phelps and all those super studs appearing in music videos..It's not my fault but my gene pool's that I have few extra kilos. It sucks!! On that note..

Happy Resolution Making
