GOALS FOR THE UP COMING NEW YEAR 2025

   

 

 

The first and most important plan for 2025 is:

1. "To take things in a lighter vein" means to approach a situation or topic with a more relaxed and humorous attitude, essentially trying not to take things too seriously; it implies switching to a less intense or somber perspective on a matter.

It will help to have a shift towards a more cheerful or optimistic viewpoint. 

This is one of my three personal goals for 2025. The other two are:

2. Digital detox as a part of daily routine

A digital detox is a time when you abstain from using electronic devices like smart phones, computers, and social media. I plan to make it a part of my daily routine. Knowing how much time I spend on the devices and trying to use them intentionally. 

A digital detox can help me improve my mental health by reducing information overload and screen exposure. It can also help me strengthen my real-world relationships and reconnect with my spiritual practices.

3. Being more eco-friendly in action in day-to-day life.

By Incorporating still more Eco Friendly Habits in Day-to-Day Life for a better life & living.

Simple, everyday eco-friendly habits can make the air, water, land, animals, and all elements of the biosphere healthier! This would, in turn, drastically affect our health and lifestyle – both as individuals and as a society in general.

Moving to 3 creative goals for 2025: 

1. Learning by the heart of the curated list of poems.

2. Being regular to Veena classes

3. Travel plans by joining the band of tour operators

With these 3 personal and 3 creative goals of 2025, I submit the last and the fifth post of #Blogchatterwrapparty2024.

FAVOURITE BOOKS, MOVIES AND SHOWS OF 2024

 

Writing for the #Blogchatterwrapparty2024, second prompt: YOUR FAVOURITE BOOKS, MOVIES AND SHOWS OF 2024

Here I share about three books, movies, and shows that I liked in this year 2024.

BOOKS :

1.     Ruskin Bond’s - HOW TO BE HAPPY; Published by Harper Collins India

It’s a colorful book with colors on pages, fonts, photographs, and illustrations with quite interesting thoughts on identifying happiness in life. It’s a short one and makes a quick read.
HOW TO BE HAPPY by Ruskin Bond is one of the best books of 2024 that I have read.
Ruskin Bond books are for all age groups and are full of life.

 

2.     LATE BLOOMING CHERRIES:  Edited by: KYNPHAM sing Nongkynrih & Rimi Nath, Published by HarperCollins India.

With an endless list of possibilities and properties of engaging poets and readers alike, a book of Haiku by Indian poets titled LATE BLOOMING CHERRIES Edited by Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih and Rimi Nath is one of the best books I enjoyed reading this year

It carries the works of nearly 60 eminent Haiku poets from India. Each piece is distinct and the culmination of them all in one book is a boon for poetry lovers and a rare privilege bestowed upon readers.

 BRAVE INKED EMOTIONS; Presented by: Roma Gupta Sinha and Published: Notion press

 This book highlights the tough battles women fought in their lives. These are real-life experiences shared directly by the strong and brave warriors. The book carries 31 soulful experiences of eminent Indian writers on how life taught them precious lessons in their emotional battles. The book BRAVE INKED EMOTIONS is one of the best books I read in 2024. The book cover emits through her eyes the bravery of the women.

MOVIES:

1.     The Family Star –Telugu movie - if you're looking for a feel-good film with a talented cast and some genuinely funny moments, "Family Star" is a solid choice.

 

2.     Sharmajee ki Beti – Hindi movie - A solid movie about the basic struggle of women in a fun manner.  This film is a celebration of womanhood and women of all ages and is about five women with the surname Sharma who share a common struggle.

 

3.     vadakkupatti Ramasamy – Tamil Movie - Director Karthik Yogi's 'Vadakkupatti Ramasamy', starring Santhanam, Megha Akash, and Tamizh, is a silly comedy that offers sporadic laughs.

A YEAR IN SIX WORDS

     

  This year was a combination of struggle and tough times. But remembering this quote reached the last month of the year participating in the #blogchatterwrapparty2024

“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

 

Hope:

With lots of hope in my pocket and reading these words every day overcame all the challenges and tough times.

Poetical:

The year was more towards poetry.

Connected with poets through WhatsApp app groups like Chennai and Indian Poetry Circle.

Living a poetic life can mean recognizing and appreciating the world's beauty, interconnectedness, and vitality. It can also mean reawakening the poetic spirit within oneself, enabling one to live to the fullest. 

Submitted poems to certain poetry anthologies that will be published in the coming year.

Social:

Donated books.

After many years of being with those books, it was hard for me to depart from them. But I realized that;

Each book you pass on can ignite the imagination, provide comfort, or offer escape to someone in need. The act of giving books creates a ripple effect of positivity, fostering education and literacy in the community.

 

Recovery:

Recovering from vitamin deficiencies with supplements.  Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.

Recovery can be a positive process that can lead to a high quality of life.

Religious:

Participated in various religious events and turned more of a religious person.

A religious person is someone who has a strong belief in a god or gods and expresses that belief in some way. Some characteristics of religious people include: Being devoted to a deity, Being consistent in prayer, Doing good deeds, and Being conscious of details in their religious practices. 

 

Authentic:

Living authentically often means doing things that feel uncomfortable at first, like expressing our true opinions, setting boundaries, or pursuing passions others might not understand. These moments of discomfort are valuable; they challenge us to expand our limits and grow in ways we never thought possible

.Being authentic means being true to your core beliefs. It ensures that your actions align with your words and thoughts regardless of the circumstances.

An authentic life is one where our needs are met, we feel fulfilled, we experience self-actualization, and we flourish. Authentic living involves a balance between what is occurring within us and how we express and represent ourselves outside.

Finally, I was fearless in being authentic.
