Thinking about the unknown

New Year Resolution – Unintended!


It was the last day of 2024 at the office. Most of the people were on leave, and it was quiet like a desert (as I always like 😊).

I am sitting with my office Bullet Journal (BuJo) of last year and planning to set up another one for the coming year.

Ahsan, my team member, pops in and wants to catch up on my recent vacation. He looks at my Bullet Journals and asks; Do I do this every year?

He is surprised when I told him that I have separate journals for my personal life, and it will be the 7th year of my BuJo life.

On asking, I shared with him the system and some of the quotes that I always put on the face of every BuJo as a reminder to myself.

With amazement, he asked if there was a way to preserve this and share it with others….

Some 3 years back, on summer vacation, having a discussion on parenting challenges and ways to navigate, my Bhabi asked, Why don’t you write? I wasn’t sure….. maybe I said. And that’s what my home minister (wife) has been saying, since we got married, for some 19+ years 😊.

Today, after Ahsan’s comments, I am considering writing, and this seems to have become my 2025 New Year’s resolution.

Deep inside, this was always my internal calling. Nervousness, procrastination, and the fear of failure have always kept me in chains to wait for another day, A perfect day……

Let’s see ….., here I am having jumped into the ocean…..

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water

Rabindranath Tagore
