New year - New thoughts

With the New year, I once again sit down to analyze my past year and my plans for the new year. Overall, I think it resembled my boss's appraisal cycle( and frankly that hurt less than my version ) . Although this would probably be the image that goes through my mind...

..I know that there are certain things that I could certainly tweak a little bit.( purely as a favor to other people )

But all said and done, we have to look at the reality and see what is possible, much like below.

Enough with the copied cartoons. Let's get down to business.

Important things ( both past year and the new year )

1) Health : On the health perspective, things have been much better the last year. Fewer hospital admissions( oh how the nurses must miss me ) , fewer incidents of instability of sugar levels ( maybe i am plateauing at 300 now ). I dont know what differently I did last year but I know for sure what I am planning to do this year. I am starting off on a new diet. ( to be discussed in another post coming soon ). The underlying idea of the new diet is to go off any processed food or chemical intake. ( I just chugged down a Pepsi can before writing this, so you can see that I am already started off well )

2) Physical exercise : The whole of last year's physical exercise can be summed up like this : some 10 hours of shuttle-cock, 15 hours of working out in the gym ( I use this the term "working out" very liberally...it includes stolen minutes of oggling at 20-somethings stretching on the floor mat and good looking 30's on the step machine ), 10 hours of walking up and down the stairs (when the lifts weren't working), another 200 hours of walking (inside the house, in malls, during intervals to the snack counter at the movies, walking to the kitchen for midnight munchies etc. etc.) This year however I plan to hit the gym on a more regular basis. ( the above statement was made in a state of euphoric dizziness as the new year hit and should not be held against the writer )

3) Work : The last year has been a so-so year at work. I not only managed not to achieve my target, but also managed not to even come close to it, though for not lack of trying. Many prospects have remained just that, Prospects and not gone to the next level of commitment, to being a customer. Come on people, show your commitment, SIGN THE CONTRACT. ( the above statement is put in bold so that in case any of my leads do a google on me and land up on this post and survive past the starting paras and wind up here, they know what they should do    SIGN THE CONTRACT ). I believe the year past would have been the year when I was the closest to achieving my zenith in terms of my KRA. (Zenith meaning the greatest height....and i am somewhere around the height of Yelagiri now, compared to the K2 I face). In the new year i hope all my prospects wake up from their slumber and check their mail boxes and read my mails and ....SIGN THE CONTRACT....or at the least remove me from the spam list.

4) Family : The past year there has been an addition to the family. I got married. I think that rounds up this post and why I am getting all these resolutions. She motivates me to get around to do all these things.
