Trying to get my lazy ass moving !!!

Its been almost 5 months i even opened the Blogspot !!

No wonder S calls me a couch potato !!

So, here I go...

Lets check and cross every line of the previos blog and see how much I have accomplished so far.

1. Travel - make 6 weekenders (2-day trips, every other month) and 2 extended weekenders (more than 2-day trips, once a half year), and NEVER repeat destinations. - 5 weekenders - Salem, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Coonoor, and Tirupati in that order. 1 extended weekender - Matheran- Pune.
2. Click - though this sounds pretty much 'apparent' with the previous goal, gotta make something more than just travel photos. - much done !
3. Practice RAW. Learn Lightroom too ! - Although this has been on the list since last year, hoping this year to be the last. - nothing as yet !
4. Make 12 blogs, once a month, to begin with - this is going to pretty easy with Bells and Knots on its way. - 11 done, including this :D
5. Read 12 books and make sure they are good, if not it doesnt count - Now that I have totally lost the habit of reading, this is gonna be herculean. - 2 done :(
6. Learn to bake. - DUH !
7. Volunteer - Something that I am losing touch sadly, with all the new practices lined up in queue. Gotta make a serious attempt and get back to being myself. God ! How I loved 2013-2014. - a dot, it is.
8. Japanese - Take up the language seriously, atleast practice even if not exam oriented. - never crossed my mind ! Good I opened the list today !!
9. DRIVE - followed by roadtrips. This could make weekenders easier. - still got a lil time
10. Smile - It could take you through anything. Stay happy - It makes your enemies jealous. - ha ha :D
11. Take loads of selfies with people around - they are always happy memories. - done, at best !
12. Play a game - atleast a couple of days a month. Its been like ages I played basket ball or throw ball. Its been over a year for shuttle too. Start over. - Board games, a lil, others - none !
13. Swim - Once a month atleast. - god ! this is such a nightmare ! should start over !!!
14. Surprise people - for happiness is highly contagious - remember every birthday and anniversary. Make them feel special. - mostly ! However, Surprising S is always herculean, more than herculean, I should say.
15. Never carry troubles to bed - Sleep, happily. - very much :)

Looks like I have made a decent progress, isn't it?
