New year, new times...

First of all, hope all ofyou had a pleasant night.

Right, I've just got back after three days in Lonavla with a few other cronies (Shahvan, Siddhant, Hakkim, Sahirr and Vinayak). Was a helluva lot of fun, and I *think* there was alcohol involved. There shall be a longer post about the entire trip a little later on, once I've regained my energy and once I find the time.

Right, concerning alcohol, one of my new year's resolutions...I normally don't believe in making things like these, because I'm of the opinion that one should live life one day at a time. But here I'd like to break a precedent for once, and share this one resolution I made around a week ago.

From tomorrow, that is the 2nd of January till the 2nd of February I shall not have a single drop of any kind of alcohol or have a single cigarette touch my lips. I was never a smoker at all, but all of a sudden I've been partying a little too much, and I've been, to my own surprise smoking a whole lot. Zis evil mast be fot.

I think a month is a safe enough start. Yes, about the alcohol too. I never particularly have a problem with the thought of drinking too much. This is one I decided to throw in since I thought that I might as well go the whole way. Also, it's very strange, but since last night, I've been feeling odd that I'm going to be twenty years old in a little over 20 days. I wouldn't say I feel old, but it certainly feels as though a chapter of my life has closed, and another has begun. It feels like that with the beginning of every new year certainly, but this year was oddly a little more so. So I'm rather interested whether I'll be able to hold onto this particular resolution. It feels like it's time to cut down a bit you know, and if my last post is anything to judge by, I think I probably made the right decision to cut down.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if this could be the slightest sign of maturity...

*walks away pondering*
