New year, new you?

New year resolutions are a tradition from time immemorial. How do we stay committed and not falter in our resolve?
SHUTAPA PAUL

I don't do New Year's resolutions. There was a time maybe I'd pretend and join the rest of the herd to come up with something but I simply don't anymore. To me, the idea of starting afresh and turning over a new leaf, need not necessarily come at the start of the Gregorian calendar. At the stroke of midnight, neither will I turn into Cinderella nor beget a nation's freedom. I would rather initiate changes into my life at a time that I wish. As per a 2021 report published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 64 per cent of people give up on their resolutions by the end of January. Hence, if my decisions should fail, let them crash grandly at any time of the year.
