2006 - where art thou?

And so another year begins (in 2 hours or so, at least). Does it make a difference? At one level, you wish that it gives you a new start. But reality tells you otherwise. Just another day, just another evening, except that I believe going to a disc is prohibitively expensive. The same rationale as applied to a birthday. See previous blog for details.

So happy new year to all (1,2,3,4) my readers.

New year resolutions (a habit that has persisted ever since school imposed this irritating 'essay' on us as holiday HW every Christmas):

1. Play the song currently being heard by the end of the year (a live version of Sultans of Swing - Mark Knopfler going mad on the guit)
2. Ensure that the Bombay Univ is made to pay for its sins
3. Sky die...no...dive.
4. Restrict TV viewing to less than 5 hours a week (barring sports). It's currently well below that.
5. Find someone to play tennis with in Bombay.
6. Make sure (by hook or crook) that there will be a sizeable overseas turnout at DMH 2007.
7. Raise 1 Crore (at least) to do up my college library

That's it. This time next year...I hope to see a few ticks.

For those of you who didn't get my mail, here is the meat:
