When 2010 started I had posted a 2010 resolution and with the year coming to a close, it is time to see how things panned out and how should the 2011 resolution be. You can read the resolution post here. But in nut shell there were four points I wanted to consider.

Try being Vegetarian every now and then
Well, partly successful I tried 🙂 Not sure if the intake of both vegetarian and Non vegetarian increased as a result and has added a few more pounds. But more vegetarian has definitely joined the regular diet than what it was during start of the year.

Be Patient
Well I guess only my wife and kids and comment on this.

Go Slow
This worked well that finally things reached a stand still and I was worried with the slowness and had to increase the pace and then figured that going slow is an art by itself. But the year 2010 has made me a lover of slowness and I will be continuing the same. I heard that carl honore the author of ‘In praise of slowness’ is in US in Jan though not in the bay area. Would love to talk to him. Have pinged me on twitter and he has responded, let us see if he can spare time for one of his slow runners 🙂

Connect and Contribute
Connections, thanks to FB worked well and also a long awaited trip to india after 7 years revitalized all old connections especially with cousins and relatives and some very old friends. A great feeling and all the credit goes to my wife who kept pushing for the whole year to get my lazy ass on the flight.

Contribution, Nothing that I can call as a significant contribution, but again I leave that to people who know me, they can judge better.  I did some detailed search for initiatives where I can contribute for greater good and interestingly a few months back I started working with two non profits one on sustainability where I have joined as a technical advisor as well as an education non profit that I will be supporting soon. Details on both I will update shortly.

In short I am happy with how the resolutions have worked for me. No wonder all say that you keep resolutions that you will do something about. Now it is time for making my 2011 resolutions. In a few days let us see…..
