I promise that I will...

Since in any case most of the resolutions I make will be broken by the end of the week I have taken extra care to decide on some really nice ones.

I mean it really matters little whether I resolve to do 30 minutes of cardio or at least an hour. Promising to do an hour sounds a lot more sincerere though.

I have also decided that I shall make at least thirty two such resolutions so that even if I break only one of them a day I will still be keeping at least one of them at the end of January.

So here goes.

In the year 2007 I resolve that I shall.

Make it a point to do at least an hour of cardio every day and at least 90 minutes on the cardio days.

Ensure that I do not drink anything but unsweetened fresh lime soda when I go out for dinner

And I shall not go out dinner binging more than once a week and when I do shall restrict myself to soup salads and something grilled without cream sauces.

I shall not make any desserts that include whipped cream or condensed milk or chocolate or butter.

I promise that I shall have only 2 pegs of vodka in a week and that too without any Orange juice or Cola.

I will make it a point to stop having all those tetra pack juices and shall religiously have fresh fruits (preferably papaya and grapefruit) every day.

I shall stop being a pseud and shall make it a point to attend at least one gb party every month and stop complaining about the Himesh and Beedi songs that is played at these wonderful fun events.

I shall make a concerted effort to stop considering random sex as a normal and healthy way of life.

I shall also use all my people skills. so as to not piss off all those who try to keep contact with me.

I shall make every effort to try and see the other persons point of view and not try to physically shove my opinions into their heads.

I will make an effort to see at least one Ekta Kapoor serial (or any Hindi serial for that matter) on a regular basis so that I am not complete lost when people start discussing them.

(Corollary to above) I shall try and find out on which channel the Hindi shows air and tune the television to those.

I shall try and give Shahrukh Khan a chance to show the world what he can do with KBC.

I shall not wish death and the plague upon Ms. Aishwarya Rai.

I will make sure that I observe all traffic rules when I drive and make sure that I get through this year without any new scratch or dent on the car.

I will try and be nice to people and not assume that most of them are a waste of oxygen.

I will recognise the rights of children to fly on planes and also to cry when they want to draw attention to themselves.

I shall not condemn as incompetent parents that can not ensure their kids are only seen and never heard.

I shall make an effort to make at least fifteen more of these resolutions by the fifteenth of this month so that I can have a few that I will be holding on to at the end of January.

(One for the road). This year at the dog show I shall not make a complete ass of myself and learn beforehand to differentiate between a Labrador and a German shepherd.
