What last year taught me..

1.While taking a photo, never make the subject be in the very middle of the frame. Its considered "ugly".
2.Never make someone your priority while you are only an option to the other person. Life demands balances in relationships.
3.Hit the gym. Get it into shape. Round is not a shape. Moreover do it for health, and keep the "shape" factor as motivator. Do yoga, keep yourself fit.
4.Some tips to avoid gaining weight (note, not reduce): Go to bed after a couple of hours after dinner. Drink lot of water. Take a slow walk 10 mins after lunch/dinner.
5.Be good to yourself. Treat yourself to some goodies, be it chocolates, clothes, books, or whatever you love once in a while. It helps you appreciate the smaller (in fact the most essential) things in life. Like the ad goes "You are the occasion".
6.Do new things, dont just plan. I planned many many things last year. I want to realize most of it this year.
7.If you want something "ask". I have asked and not got it, but it only made life simpler. Atleast I know I asked. Chances are you get what you want, dont settle for anything less.
8.Finally no regrets about anything. All said and done, all thought about over and over again one ends up making mistakes, some small, some big. Nothing is as big as life itself. This is the first time that I am doing so many things in life, so all this expected.
9.Give yourself and others another chance.

And happy new year folks!

on that #1... it depends on how you set up the frame. object in middle can make beautiful photographs, but only if there is symmetry in the pic. its hard to achieve, so better to go for asymmetrical ones and not place object in center.

and good thing about asking is, no one can blame you for not trying... better ask and be rejected than not ask and later be told "you should have asked me"

happy new year to you too.
