My resolution is to enjoy the adventure of living in India! To not get too critical about those things that will challenge me and to love the differences
I think I am inspired by your resolution! I have been pretty awfully critical of many things as well, both in family and outside, mostly actually within my own mind - which is where it causes the most harm. Being less critical is a good resolution to make, one that will not only enrich your own life but others as well.
Thanks, and a happy new year to you!

Good, resolutions will stay when they are made with a genuine purpose like you did, instead of making it just because it is Jan 1. Being less critical is positive trait and no wonder you are much happier and calmer.
lovely Chitra.i could’nt agree with you more on everything you said……..being less critical………not needing only new year for resolutions etc…….life deals each one a different hand and who knows we may have been worse than the person/situation we were being critical about had we been in their shoes.
For me too, resolutions do not wait for a particular date but happen as I go along and I have noticed that such resolutions are usually successful too rather than the ones I have tried to make in the past succumbing to peer pressure.
