One of my new year resolutions for 2013 is to post more regularly on this blog.
Already, I have taken to writing more regularly in a diary (physical, since I am generally skeptical about the longevity of digital technolog. I can't read my old files on my floppy disks, but I can still read my old diary entries written when I was eleven.). The diary has so far proved useful in tracking general behaviour and the upkeep of my new year resolutions. It's also useful in keeping track of my own mind and mental behaviour: helpful as a discipline. It's also useful in capturing thoughts and ideas, some of which are (im not-so ho) pretty good and possibly worth following.
This blog is more public, so rather than the mundane details of a diary entry, the purpose is more to share some thoughts, and also to share what-I-think-to-be-best practices.
Some things which I might write about are:

Some things which I might write about are:
- Buddhist thoughts and practice. Increasingly, as I get older and as I get deeper into Buddhist practice (including meditation), thoughts about Buddhist practice tend to populate my mind.
- India. I am now based here, so naturally, I will have some thoughts/perspectives.
- Health and fitness. Not really a fitness nut, but I have always been curious about how to improve my strength and fitness, ever since I was a fifteen-year-old struggling with a weight problem. In particular, my wife knows I can be pretty obsessed about weight loss. That could be due to my obsession with chocolates, too... :p
- Philosophy. I think this is a large enough basket to encompass all kinds of thoughts, be they in economics, politics, etc.
It takes a fair bit of effort to be consistent in writing this blog, and I hope I will be able to do so in the course of the year.
Thank you for reading, and have a good year ahead too. :)
