SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

There's a whole tribe out there who refuses to subscribe to resolutions
SUPRIYA NEWAR

To resolve or not to resolve. That is the question. At least the question or the cliché that comes to mind the most is towards the end of December and the beginning of a new calendar year. The range of resolutions, though, is surprisingly universal and tiny. They are the same ones floating globally - I'll wake up early and go for that run or hit the gym; I'll help out more at home; I'll count to 10 before I lose it; I'll restart my music lessons; I'll take out more time for myself and do more of what makes me happy. So on and so forth. A strange kind of clarity and reminder that pokes at us as we inch closer to the year when it is changing its digits. Of course, some of us have larger goals earmarked as new year resolutions - I'll give up my job and find a new one this year. I'll tie the knot or in some cases, I shall unknot myself this year! And so on.
