Hop, Skip and a New Life!

I am back. I suppose you notice that but I just like to reinforce these things!

So I guess I should first recapitulate the chunk of my life that I have skipped between the last post and today – for the benefit of the stray reader who isn’t family or friend and therefore not privy to the goings on around here and actually gives two hoots about what’s been up with me. Ok let’s see – it’s been about a year and a half – a lot has happened in the time. On the professional front - I quit a job, took up another one, quit that and am now headed towards newer and hopefully greener pastures. We’ll see how that turns out. On the personal front – I got engaged and am soon to get married – and that’s a whole other blog post so I will leave it at that and shall come back to the details another time. As for the rest – life has been the same – I still live out of a suitcase, I still can’t cook and I still watch every movie that gets released.

And now that we are done with the flashback-in-a-nutshell, let’s shift focus and zoom in on the future – it’s time for the new year resolutions (ok ok its way past the time – but I made them earlier – I am only writing about them now!). Here’s my wishlist for 2008:

1. Stop being scared of taking risks professionally – will have a husband soon who will feed me (and finance my shoe-buying) if all goes wrong.

2. Stop eating junk all the time. And as much as this pains my heart – drastically reduce consumption of the sweet stuff.

3. Exercise (just so you know – this resolution is broken already)

4. Write more often – on the blog and otherwise.

5. Learn two important being-married type things, i.e. tying a sari and making rotis/ parathas at home.

That’s my modest list of ambitions for this year. We’ll see how it turns out when we take stock later.

For now that’s it. But I’m not done yet. There is much to write about and I will get to it – much more frequently than the last time around - so you can check back before 2009! :-)
