Top Ten (Things TO DO)!
It’s 9 months since I’ve stepped into Bhutan – have I delivered? Soon it’s going to be a year. On a serious note, I have a few things to accomplish amidst all the fun, frolic, laziness, lack of work, despondency, longing for company, and hope.
By the new year (i.e. 1 January 2007), I would want to attain the following objectives.
1. Get fit and regain my six pack abs (now, regain is a really strong word as I’ve almost forgotten how many years – or decades - ago I actually boasted of such abs)!
2. Finish reading AT LEAST 50 books – cover to cover - by then (my meter’s already running and I’m HOPELESSLY racing against time and tedium)! At last count, I’ve read 20 books only.
3. Conduct classes in HR at the Royal Institute of Management. I really have to kick my own butt if I fail in this (well, there are too many others who’d be more than willing to kick, including Col. KM who made the opening at the institute possible).
4. Go for at least 5 more treks – and this would be slightly slippery as the winter would set in rather early this year. I should talk to Pema to take us to the mounts beyond Chapcha (they’re snow-clad)!
5. Regardless of reticence and non-cooperation, change the system of procurement and contract conclusion at the Project level. I know this would be the TOUGHEST but it’s good to take up a challenging task (gives a GOOD high when you succeed)! All that stands between success and failure is my laziness and a sense of déjà vu.
6. Consult an ophthalmologist and explore the options to rectify my vision with laser therapy. If feasible, get it done. Surely something else could be the first noticeable thing about me than my squint!
7. Make at least ONE SERIOUS attempt to quit smoking – now I’ve lost count on the number of attempts I’ve made. But, the last time I’d tried I’d quit for over 10 months. That gives hope (also unnerves that I might go back despite the period I’m out of nicotine)!
8. Get over ONE inhibition – oh I’ve many and I’d be better off with one less for sure!
9. Get my passport done – who knows I might want to go to Thailand if my pay package gets fatter (fat chance, but still…)!
10.Have a blast on the New Year’s Eve (and preferably away from the colleagues)!
