It’s that time of year where we resolve and try to be better versions of ourselves in the coming year. On my part I’m going to stick to making only 3 resolutions and keeping up to them
- cooking one new dish a week. After moving to SG and getting completely pampered with full time help I’ve nearly stopped going into the kitchen. It’s only Sunday dinners and there I restrict to stuff like pasta or aloo paratha. As a result we are not eating much new stuff at home and the girls are developing a very small palate for diverse food. And it’s about time they learnt to make some food themselves.
- try to be home by 7 pm at least twice a week. This will give some time to have dinner with the kids, take Fido for his walk and relax before the girls bed time instead of always being in a rush
- drink less.
For this years New Years Eve we went to the pool party at the Sea World Resort in the Gold Coast where we were staying. S got tired by 9:15 and A by 10. After putting them in bed the hubby and I tried to stay awake as long as possible but only succeeded till 11 pm. We had seen the fireworks at 8 pm and 8:30 pm and the lure of 12 midnight fireworks didn’t do it for us. We spent some time reminiscing about what we had done on New Years till now and this is the list we came up with
2000 : Naval club with friends in Mumbai
2001: something in Bangalore
2002 : something in Bombay with friends
2003 : Lonavala (near) with friends
2004 : at our place in Mumbai with friends
2005-2007 : something with Mumbai friends
2008 : dinner with S at a hotel in Bangalore
2009: Kashi at friends place
2010: at home in Mumbai
2011: something in Bangalore
2012: in Chicago with Anita, Ravi and Raju families
2013: in Paris near the Eiffel Tower
2014-2016: something in Bangalore
2017: Auckland welcoming the New Year the first!
2018: In Suratkal with in laws and Anita family
2019: asleep in our beds in the GoldCoast
Maybe my resolution should include being able to stay up longer on New Years Eve!
