All Right!!! it has been more than 72 Hrs since the new year. And I still need to set a resolution. But what's the point of setting a goal when the person placing the goal is just going to lie down and look at the clouds pass by and curse the gods for making him lazy?
Why set new goals when the previous ones are still not finished? So I picked the one from 2018. The goal was to read the Bhagvat Gita. I even bought the book and spent a good time searching for it. Similarly, there are so many things that are pending but I am unable to make time to complete them hopefully one of these days I will get to it. Like how I am trying to make myself sit and write something.
I even gifted myself a second-hand table and need to buy a comfortable chair. So that I don't hurt my back. I think it is better to list down the to-do things now and get the post ready Because I already spent a good 10Hrs sitting. ”#$%(@^ GET UP AND WALK” is what my ass would scream if it could. Anyway, I think it is a good idea to sit and reflect on 2022.
Health Is Wealth - The one thing I learned from 2022 is that I am mortal. The realization I could die without warning is the worst. The fear of living in such a situation is very terrible. Sometime in May, I had this shortness of breath. I would feel physically exhausted even when I was just sitting and working. I took some time off from work and consulted the experts. They confirmed what was evident. Being overweight and Blood Pressure was conspiring to put me out of commission. I had to act quickly. So a sudden shift in diet and gym go my weight under 87Kgs in almost 3 months, for an achievement it was great. But the medical bills did burn some serious holes in my pockets.

Rainy Day - I still remember standing in the waiting queue and arguing with the nurse. When she was asked If I have an appointment and I spent every bit of English, Tamil, and Telugu at my disposal to make her understand the word emergency. I was ill-prepared for such an emergency. Just having insurance is not enough. Having a saving account to handle such a situation is a must.

Why so serious? - One of the culprits was office stress. There is a difference between dedication and seriousness. One needs to be more dedicated to the work and less serious. I was doing it another way around, My dedication was suffering and my seriousness turned into stress. It is okay to fall behind the schedule, One should reflect on the events that lead to the delay and not look for targets to fire and blow steam off.

Take breaks seriously - And finally, I wasn't taking my time off seriously. Whenever I was on break, I was thinking more. Not creative things, but on how to improve my work, relationships, and 100 other things. One of my fav things to do is to go to some place like a nearby lake or some temple with friends and family and spend time. However, this year was more like a self-imposed lockdown for no reason. It sucked.

Let me call it a day (post).
Nothing good comes out of bickering. I will try to post something positive next time.
And don't worry I haven't forgotten about the characters who went on a blind date. It is just I have been busy and It feels like my creativity is exhausted and needs some recharging (if that's a thing) But I will be back.
I am inuke and 2022 is not all bad, Because this is the year that introduced me to my son.
I would like to thank IndiaUnited and BeAwesome community for all their love and support.
