It's 2009. Naah, it's not at all fine.

Every New Year has been the same for me. Nothing unusual at all. But this time, the beginning of 2009 itself, has brought me a zillion questions. For which I have to find an answer.

Why is it that when you get really close to a person, it’s only then you realize you shouldn’t be close to them and remain detached for your own good? But then, it’s too late to go back. And you think everything happening is wrong, when it actually feels right when you do it.

Resolution: Be less emotional and don’t think too much.

When will I ever make up my mind about what I want to do in life? I’m studying law, in my 6th semester, and I’ve got only 4 semesters more and then I’m blessed with a B.A.L.L.B degree(That is, if I don’t flunk. This semester is scaring me. Company Law, Transfer of Property, Family Law. Damn, I’m already getting goosebumps.) I have to study well and get a good G.P.A this semester otherwise I’m screwed. Also, I have to make up my mind whether I should pursue law or journalism or anything else.

Resolution: Will decide my career by June 2009 and will study well and not waste time over unnecessary things and people.

Why have I wasted 19 years in screwing my own life and despite knowing it, not doing anything about it? My parents slog their ass off just for my sister’s and my future. My sister is giving it back by getting good results and hell; she’s also working part time now. My immaturity and carefree attitude resulted in more pain for my parents and sister.

Resolution: Will grow up and become serious and not take things lightly.

That doesn’t mean I will stop having fun. :-P I guess I should maintain a balance between the two. 2.5 years left before my college ends and I am not going to waste a minute of them.
Also, will stop abusing. Okay, rather, cut down on the abuses. Will continue cheering for Team India and praying for Rahul Dravid. Will pray Deepika and Ranbir don’t get married.

On a serious note, I know resolutions are meant to be broken, but I have to stick to them, if I need to mend my ways especially when I’m going to turn 20. Which means I’m a big, big girl now.
P.S- This was so unlike a usual Mads post, but had to speak my mind. :-P

AB said...

My only 1 resolution: NO RESOLUTIONS from now on...! hehe..

all the best for ur resolutions

Mads said...

@peter. hehe :P thanks for that :P

Mads said...

@ nidhi...i always lived my life that way and never throught about the consequences...i'll continue doing that, but will think more wisely henceforth
as far as meeting people n getting close to them is concerned,i get too emotionally attached and when those people betray me, it hurts way too much.so i prefer not being that emotional.
:P hugs to u too >:D< tune hugs wala smiley nahi kiya :((

Mads said...

@abhinav :P thanks :P

Nidz said...

Only a very few lucky bums really know what they want to do with their lives, trust me. It isn't what I say, rather it's what Steve Jobs says.

Nice resolutions, btw!

Nikhil Menon said...

Tbe whole thing about realising ur mistakes means ur on the riught track.Now,on realising all the resolutions,believe me,its hard to change all of a sudden from the system u are in.But it does hpn gradually..

I somehow felt them really cute,the thing abt ur parents(second one)..way to go gal... :) but then,bein a lot more serious,I really dun wanna see the serious Madhuri yaar.Its nice bein urself,fun or serious and thts the way it shudb..

take care..

PI said...

what's the point of resolutions, i wonder sometimes. still, good luck with'em. just don't be too hard on yourself :)

Anonymous said...

Uhh... what's a resolution? Nothing more than a repeated attempted at something that is viewed as a problem. RE-SOLUTION. Repeated attempted at the same solution.

So why start 2009 Jan 01? Any good day should be fine since its nothing more than a repeat on an existing solution?

Methinks me has 'bhashaned' enough...

Mads said...

@pseudo intellectual..even i always wondered its no use making resolutinons if u cant keep them

but then again, i need to get discipline in my life before steam runs out :-| :(

Mads said...

@alexxandro..i agree with u on that.a very good point there..and well, better late than never. new year makes u think abt improving urself and makes u ponder over wat went wrong in the previous year...so thats why these resolutions....

bhaashan was worth it, me thinks :P

vanilla sky said...

yes, life is not all haha hee hee :(
At least , thinking that our parents work so hard for us should make us serious at times when we need to be.

Resolutions zindabad.

Aninya said...

Being an emotional fool for one is a mistake. but i guess its a mistake that is made by 9/10. so for all you know, the person who emotionally fooled you is a bigger emotional fuckwit himself/herself!!
for the other resolutions, im no person to even say STICK TO THEM..cause im one trying to stick to my own :P
but yes...balance...PRIORITISE....have fun :D...and 2009 will not be that bad :D
P.S: 20 sounds old...buddi :P...gawd im such a freak considering self will be turning **that odd number** too this year :P

Mads said...
