Some resolutions I made. I intend to stick to them, regardless of whatever happens.<\/p>\n
1) No more CDs. Enough doth be enough. I already have too many. (A very vague concept, too many<\/i>, but still….) The next original CD I buy is going to be, in all probability, Half Life 2<\/b>, in October, and until then, NO CDs.<\/p>\n
2) No watching bad movies. Considering that I spend money on autorickshaws, the actual movie, popcorn, chips, cold-drinks, and all that for a lousy concoction of half-baked ideas…I would rather sit at home and play NOLF or sit in the office and dream about eBay bids.<\/p>\n
3) Buy books only<\/b> if they are hard-to-come-by-again-types, or if they were on my Must-Buy list. No impulse buying. No salivating at every Elmore Leonard novel or Rolling Stone<\/i> magazine I see. Comics are exempted, and I must make a mental note to go and get acquainted with the respective managers at Walden and Odyssey to find out they bring in new comics.<\/p>\n
4) Less coffee. One cup every two days at the office. One trip to Barista’s\/Coffee-Day every fortnight. Or less. No Qwiky’s. Qwiky’s sucks. More Coffee Day. Is cheaper.<\/p>\n
5) A vitamin tablet per day. Must try to put on some weight.<\/p>\n
6) No more trips to out-of-town cul-fests and quizzes. Absolutely NO NO NO. <\/p>\n
If these were Mahabharata-type times, the skies would have opened by now, followed by a shower of flowers and assorted aromatic oils, accompanied by conch-shells and veenas. Maybe the gods would have changed my name or something.( Wonder if I would have a choice in it….love to have a name like Prometheus, or even Dracul. )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
