Ten Wishes for 2013 - A retrospect


It's been three months since I posted my ten wishes for the year, and it's quite a time to consider where I stand. Isn't it? So here it is, a retrospect.

1.    Read more: Ah, it’s hard to say, but the fact is that I have hit rock bottom. I read only two books in the past three months, and the sad part is I don’t even remember the name of them. In retrospect, I feel terribly awkward as Reading being the first item in my list of wishes for 2013. Dot.


2.    Write as much as you can: Nothing much to say here as you yourself can see this post is being the next of my previous “Ten Wishes for 2013” post. Although I have to admit that of late I have started a personal blog – a blog where I write letters to the person I’d always wanted to. The funny thing is I haven’t told the person yet; maybe I never will, but the letters, for sure, will pile up.


3.    Make every day productive by any means: Now don’t laugh already (I will, however). Okay, I’m still trying  (or more precisely, wanting) to make this one work to the least bit possible at least, for the sake of being included in my wish.


4.    Learn to forgive everyone (whomever so is applicable): This is one thing that I’m really good at, and well, almost that I’m proud of. Narcissism, maybe.

5.    Never show your sadness to anyone: I have to say that I have improved on this front. No doubt at all. Otherwise, things would have been different by now with two persons in particular.


6.    Do what you love the most: A big zero for this. I know it’s not so easy. And well, this was one thing that I’d doubted myself when I penned down the list. Considering the fact that there is 3/4th of the year left still, there could be a chance for me, possibly.


7.    Learn to respect everyone and their choices as well: The reason for listing this one was not to grow myself up in this regard, for I already am, very much. The only reason for this point to be in the list was just to remind me not to deviate from this no matter what.


8.    Do something credibly to share with your buddies by the end of the year: Okay, there is something in my mind already, and I’m very much determined of accomplishing it, well, before the end of the year. Let’s see.


9.    Get over your anger completely. Or reduce it to the maximum: A negative score, obviously. There was an incident happened yesterday that I felt very ashamed of. Though the reasons – that I was provoked and that almost everyone in my position would have reacted the same way – justifies my action, there is no doubt that I hate myself for it.


10.  Try to stay in touch with the people you love, forever: Well, I try to. However, there is this thought that hits my mind at regular intervals that I should take a break for the good sake of everyone involved in one particular matter.
