Resolution--2004

Prolouge
The following is an excerpt from this old scrap of paper I found in my diary(2003). And since its been 2 years already, I think I can safely publish it. The passage may sound a bit lame, but remember that when I wrote this, I was two years(and that makes a lot of differece!) younger.

" This new year has been a very eventful one. A very meaningful one.

I have grown a year older. I have learnt new things. I tripped, I fell, I hurt myself. But I had no time to nurse my wounds. No time to wait for them to heal, because I have an aim, a destination to reach, a dream waiting to be made into reality.

This year, I found many friends, very few of whom turned out to to be true friends. I realised that people were not laughing with me; they were laughing at me. I loved only to be hated. I trusted, only to be betrayed; I hugged, only to be stabbed in the back.

But in the coming year, I am going to improve. This coming year, I will be more optimistic, more confident. I will not repeat the mistakes I made last year. I shall trust no one but myself. I shall love no one but myself. I shall help no one but myself.

I shall not bend to emotions. This coming year, I shall think with my brain, not with my heart. This coming year, I will treat people the way they treat me. I shall hug people, but if I am stabbed, i shall crush them to death before I perish.

This coming year, I shall neither forgive, nor forget. This coming year, I will decide who I am. This coming year will my year, and i am going to live it to the fullest. "---24-12-'03
