Happy New Year 2011

So, this is my last post of the year!
Something came to my mind just now- the only one with whom we spend a long time, still happy to depart from is: the year to be ended. Goodbye 2010!!!

Busy, busy and busy. But I want to wish Happy New Year 2011 to all. No cooking today, and one hour saved. I can at least share a few words with my friends. Well, there is no special plan to welcome 2011. Just trying to make it a beautiful day! What I can do the best is must have some lovely chat with friends, parents, neighbours, have cakes, sweets, spicy foods. Rest.... not yet decided! And yes; no resolution this time.... because, “Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”- says Oscar Wilde. True to some extent! Haahaahaa

The year doesn’t end in a single day. So let’s hope to make each and every day not just a beautiful day, but also an effective and meaningful one. People say life is short, so have fun. Good, but I want to add- life is so long and try to best utilize it. I must try to do things that I desire but not yet able to achieve. Ok! No serious words today. Just wish you happiness!
It would be great if you share your good thoughts with me, how you plan, celebration, dance, resolution, new clothes, party and more.... See you in the next year.

How To Stay Away From Addiction

Yesterday, while at a nearby shop I saw a 10-year-old boy (I guess) asking for a cigarette. Of course he said it’s for elder brother, but I don’t believe the way he talked. I can understand this is because of bad company, ignorance or unable to foresee the health hazards. But I feel extremely sorry for those who are spoiling every bit of their success for the sake of wrong addiction. Yes, right now who I have in mind is Lindsay Lohan. Poor lady!.....since a couple of months she is undergoing treatment at the famous Betty Ford Centre, a legendary and respected alcohol and drug rehabilitation clinic in Rancho Mirage, California (there is a long list of celebs treated at B.F.). She plans to maintain strict sobriety, though she's about come back after a week.....best of luck from my side!

As teenagers and adults are more vulnerable to develop this sort of addiction, here are few tips to be in self-control. I don’t ask you to leave it at once. It’s good enough just to enjoy them, but don’t let them enjoy your life being spoiled!

· Don’t run the crazy race of glamour! It makes you impatience and takes the shelter of addiction.
· A restless and lazy mind is always weaker than the rest, so sleep comfortably.
· Partying is great way to have fun with friends, but not daily. It not just drags you closer to alcohol and drug, but also wastes your potential and drives you restless.
· If you mix with strangers, find out & adapt what’s good about their them.
· Every morning, get up early and concentrate few minutes on what you are, what you want to achieve and how far you have proceeded.
· Take a balanced diet – fresh fruits, vegetables and salad are must along with other stuff. These things bring freshness to mind.
· Have confidence in yourself, a strong mind is less affected by the negative forces.
· Have faith in the Supreme God – take his shelter in the time of depression, stress and anxiety; no need for addiction!
