New Year Resolutions: 'Upgrade the old You'.

So, this year 2015 too comes to an end like any other year... It is an overwhelming feeling to bid adieu and leave behind yet another year and saying  'hello' to yet another 366 days (Including this year's leap day).  I am  assuming many of us are busy making list of resolution to follow.. the list might be lengthy than the previous year or it might be just a shorter version as you may have improved quite a bit.. Maybe?
Looking back at the year, we wonder how time swept so quickly without us hardly realizing that so many things has happened this past 12 months. Many changes, many transformation or few or more improvements and the things which we learnt are new and different as compared to the  past year. We are evolving with fresh lessons in life I bet, and also because we learn to take responsibility with time and age. Thereby, like every possible year...  the changes which we want might be less than the previous #The reason: We are growing wiser with the years passing.

What could be the possible reason that you wanted to bring changes in your life? or what could be the changes you want? why do we even make a resolution? Is it because we feel a pride of taking life more on a serious note? Is it because somebody asked you to? either ways, we are trying to resolve it. Right?

Status on Facebook, Twitter and all social network will be filled with the cliche quotes of  'New Year, New me' Or something like,  'it's New Year, time to start doing this, time to stop doing that' and so on... What exactly does a 'New Year, New Me' even means? Does it mean you are going to change your whole self ? Is that even possible? I mean all this time you have been the same you and suddenly as New Year comes.... you want to bring a quick transformation. Well, good for you... if it is so easy or if that is what you want/need?

For some past years, I have realized the fact that changes are not exactly what we need, it is what we wish to see in ourselves, but if we ain't ready for it or if it doesn't comes to us despite working hard then why force?  
Finally, I decided and came to the conclusion of making only one resolution and that was... to bring no change but to 'upgrade' myself, because I  really don't intend to change myself.  You don't necessarily need to make a long list of resolution and be disappointed for not following them at the end of the year. Instead why not attempt to upgrade or strive to update the old You. And, if you really have to transform yourself, it will come by itself with time, you won't find yourself forcing into it.
This New Year like I said will be another added year, but I will be the old self, I don't intend to change myself (Not saying I am perfectly perfect to not change at all)  but, why keep a commitment  for the sake of making a resolution which I might fail to follow and disappoint myself. Anyways, as time goes and as we grow... the changes in us will be seen, without us making any efforts. As the famous saying goes.... 'With age comes wisdom'. Better go with the flow I say
So...  What resolution have you made for this New Year? Try to change completely or upgrade your old version? Choices, all yours.


                       HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!!
May this New Year brings in more Love, Happiness, Blessing, Prosperity and all things Extraordinary!!
 God Bless All.

Book Review: I’ve Never Been (Un)Happier by Shaheen Bhatt

About the book Lights, Camera . . . Inaction Unwittingly known as Alia Bhatt’s older sister, screenwriter and fame-child Shaheen Bhatt has been a powerhouse of quiet restraint—until now. In a sweeping act of courage, she now invites you into her head. Shaheen was diagnosed with depression at eighteen, after five years of already living with it. In this emotionally arresting memoir, she reveals the daily experiences and debilitating big picture of one of the most critically misinterpreted mental illnesses in the twenty-first century. Equal parts conundrum and enlightenment, Shaheen takes us through the personal pendulum of understanding and living with depression in her privileged circumstances. With honesty and a profound self-awareness, Shaheen lays claim to her sadness, finding it a home in the universal fabric of the human condition. In this multi-dimensional, philosophical tell-all, Shaheen acknowledges, accepts and overcomes the peculiarities of this way of being alive...

Book Review: Love in the Time of Quarantine by Siddhartha Gigoo

  About the Book On Sunday, March the 22nd 2020, When India decided To lock herself down And send us—  Her 1.3 billion ungrateful, undeserving,  Yet beloved children— Into self-isolation To protect us From the deadly infection Of a bat-born,  Spikey ball-shaped, Gorgeous-looking Infinitesimal virus With a name  Befitting a royal, I set out to do  What all castle-builders and nighthawks do  On bright and lonesome  Sundays  That have nothing  Except dreams of hope  And fantasies of freedom  To offer. Told from multiple points of view, Commonwealth Prize-winning author Siddhartha Gigoo’s 'Love in the Time of Quarantine' clocks 30 days and nights in the lives of two lovers and a homeless family during a nation’s lock down and quarantine. My Take on the Book Hope everyone is safe at home? I recently came across this book and was really intrigued to find out what it was actua...

Book Review: A drop of You by Krishna Chhetri

About the Book We become overtly colourless when our hearts aren't together; only when a soul finds its body, they sing and dance together to the colours of life. Three closely knit people, Karma, Diana & Ghazal meet at the crossroads of life, unaware of the cosmic conspiracy and its comical destiny. Heart is their road, love is their journey and the soul, the final destination. Sailing on the tides of emotions, they encounter deceit, with a tinge of poison and drop of bliss.   Forever love; it is a myth? Or a reality? Is it stifling pain or undying love, that makes love eternal? Come, let us explore! My Take on the book For someone who loves poetry, this book is a refreshing read. A drop of you is the debut book by Krishna Chhetri, the book narrates the story of three friends,  Karma, Diana, and Ghazal, who  are caught in a love triangle situation. This is a tale of love,  friendship, destiny, and heartbreak.    Like every love triang...
