New Year Resolutions

Today is the beginning of a brand year for me. My brain cells were too sedated yesterday for it to sink in. No no, I havn't taken to crack yet. It was purely the effect of lazing for the last few days in an atmosphere that pretty much has the same effects. Just so you believe, I'll run you through my daily routine:
Wake up whenever the sounds of nature wake you up-stagger to Ajit's for lemon tea, have a long-winded conversation about nothing in particular; Anyways the sum of it is always ' Come to Kasol in summer, now you are my friend'- Go back, take a shower, put on some long, flowing robes and beads- Back to Ajit's, in a grave dilemma over a calorie-laden banana pancake or toast drowned in cheese-Head down the lane to the golden sands and sip the golden brew all day, with of course the perfunctory plate of calamarie, prawn curry and other yummy, sometimes stinky, sea creepies by the side-a dip in the waters if I'm not worn out already with all the binging and the smiling at equally spaced out hippies-walk down to the market to haggle over 'made in kathmandu' felt bags-Head down the lane to the golden sands and sip the golden brew, with the never-faltering perfunctory plate of calamarie and prawn curry by the side- watch fire-eaters under the stars, staff-jugglers, clap after a mind-blowing djembe performance-sleep.

My new year resolution is to do be able to do absolutely nothing and feel as free as I did, this year, or ever. I hope I don't have to break this one.
