For a person who rarely procrastinates professionally, or has very little pending work on a daily basis &#8211; including responding to mails, i tend to procrastinate a lot in my personal life. There are things that i like to do, and have always liked doing, they take a back seat to more pressing commitments. But, as my father once asked, what can be more important than your commitment to yourself ? And, 19 months after dad passed away, i think i am ready to make that commitment to me.<\/p>\n<p>Things I want to do this year &#8211; personal goals. \u00a0:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Write more regularly. Often, i get satisfied with the idea. I am happy the idea struck me. I debate the idea in my head, pros and \u00a0cons. Sometimes, when i understand theoretical underpinnings, i have an academic debate too (in my head). And then i am so satisfied with the whole thing, i don&#8217;t bother writing. 2017, i hope to be more disciplined. Atleast, once a week.<\/li>\n<li>Photograph : sigh. And develop the stuff i shoot. Be more structured in the story telling part of it.<\/li>\n<li>Shoot a documentary &#8212; or at least write one. i think if i don&#8217;t tell a video story this year, i will possibly explode or something.<\/li>\n<li>Learn a skill &#8211; i am still figuring this one out. Whether i want to learn to cook a specific style, or learn pottery, &#8230; i don&#8217;t know. much of it looks exciting.<\/li>\n<li>Enrol and finish a coursera or equivalent course &#8211; something not in my field. The easiest would be picking media or policy. But, i want to experience the joy of discovering new things, new ideas &#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Be more social in real life &#8211; meet people i like. And, i like a lot of people, i have been avoiding people. social media makes the real world nearer, and one day you realise all of it is maya &#8211; nothing beats real life interactions.<\/li>\n<li>Go to two new places &#8211; in India. One is most likely kancheepuram.<\/li>\n<li>Read a book a fortnight &#8230; finish the books i start.<\/li>\n<li>Attend 6 concerts in the year.<\/li>\n<li>Watch more movies.<\/li>\n<li>Cut down on social media, re connect with real life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/29633308650_3d442f1e81_k.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5040\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/29633308650_3d442f1e81_k.jpg?resize=640%2C432\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(life emerges from below the web. )<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is just a personal plan.
