A few changes....

Some Changes I am trying to make in my life.

Three books

I plan to read at least three books every month, with an objective of developing the habit of reading before I go to bed. The choice of books will preferably be one fiction and two non-fiction.

Learning to drive and jive

Both driving and jiving are imperative for sustaining my current relationship. The girl I hope to be with lives extremely far off from the place where I live. Autos will cost me a fortune. Comfort level will be a lot higher if I am driving and we do not need to depend on the “highway robbers” (autos). She said that she loves to jive and I need to move from my wall flower mode in a discotheque to a good dancer.

Run like the wind

I plan to work really hard the next three months to avoid injury and run faster. I will work as much possible on circuit training, stretching and strength training. The point is to finish the Singapore or the Mumbai marathon in less than four hours.

Assigned drinking days

To develop a good pack of abdomens, I have reduced my drinking and have allotted two days a month exclusively for drinking purposes. No other activity will be conducted on those days and I will be sipping beer all day. No beer absolutely on other days of the month.

Save money

Avoiding tax is possibly the biggest challenge at this point of time. I need to save a fortune and invest in long term bonds before March this year. Saving is definitely a priority.

Analyze every piece of information I read

One important thing that I need to do is to analyze every tiny piece of information that I hear or read in the popular news media. Doing a small independent research and think about a possible bias in the information provided will be good ways to start the process.
