Ohai!

This domain+hosting was purchased two years ago. Renewed them last year (yet to pay @hnprashanth for the hosting). Apart from learning some wordpress & cPanel basics from @Sathyabhat , have not really put the blog to use. Like any amateur bugger, first thing I did was setup adsense lol! Minting money. NOT.

With plenty of changes in life & unlimited roller coaster rides, it got me thinking. I really had to push myself ahead and move on, restart. Have been procrastinating a LOT in the recent past and it really bugged me. So have made some small action item list which I am determined to implement and let some fresh air in. Part of the list:

  1. Make some space on my PC and move files to my HDD – Done!
  2. Change the theme of the blog, post regularly on my ideas, plans, observations, just anything – Failing at this!
  3. Save money -  HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH…ha…h :(
  4. Join a gym or guitar class. Or both – Yet to be done
  5. Go on a vacation in June, to just anywhere. Ask friends for company. But just go *essential* – Done! Had one of the best trips ever in July. 2,500 Kms. Just drove, throwing plans and maps out of the window. And found a travel buddy who is as enthu about travel as I am and does not get tired. #WIN
  6. Buy new laptop – Kiran Lingappa ki daya se hojayega
  7. Get myself new pair of cool spectacles – Done (dont know of the coolness quotient though)
  8. Trip to Goa in November with a friend & friends’ cousins – Planned (Oh,LOTS of trips are planned)
  9. Take parents , grandparents to Shirdi – Should plan – Yet to be done
  10. Complete every item above by this year end and have a cheerful new years eve!

Feels good. Should write more and get back the grove of being able to express my opinions in a succinct manner, instead of punching out textbook length speeches :-\

Thanks for reading, and your comments & motivations will help.

Cheers!

    I know the feeling of procrastination and being lazy. My blog (started 6 months back) had been lying pretty bare… and now, thanks to a lot of motivation (kicks) from friends, I am back in the groove and churning out posts. You will pick up steam soon enough, mate :)

    Dude take inspiration from my blog. I post all non-sensical thoughts over there. It’s really easy to blog once you have achieved Ph.D in twittering just extend those thoughts.
