@Lostworld: Thanks. You know when I started writing, the header was 'My 10 New Year Resolutions', then it became 20, then 30 and so on. I had to literally force myself to stop at 54!!!
Yeah operation 'contact lenses' is on the floor :)
Awesome list. I will join you on many of the things you plan on doing for the up coming year. :)
@Naseem: Hopefully with some company, I will be able to stick to them better. Which ones do you plan to join me in? ;)
This reminds me, I must get my list of resolution out of my mind and onto a paper too!
@D: You should! And before the next year begins. By the way, welcome to my blog. I have been enjoying reading your blogs off and on..
