New Mornings

One of the things that impacted me in 2020 was the shutting down of my favorite blog, Manrepeller. For a while, I felt I had nothing to read. And there was no point in going through lame articles in the name of fashion and lifestyle. One of the best things about Manrepeller was that the articles were written in the first person. That made for a diary-like read. The blog also talked about our lives as they are, and how we manage to survive, despite all odds. However, since it's the new year, what I am missing the most about the blog is the lists that its writers threw at us, random lists of things one can do if one wanted to. These lists didn't preach or anything, they just were feel-good lists. So, today, I dare to come up with my own list that you may choose to go through just for the heck of it.

1. Aim to read for an hour without touching your mobile phone.
2. Try a coconut latte if you are a coconut person.
3. Be the first one in the morning to shop at a supermart, just for once, explore the less-crowded aisles.
4. Videocall someone and cook with them.
5. Call your parents and ask them about things they like.
6. Finish the Queen's Gambit in one weekend.
7. Make the first move, dial that number.
8. Say good morning to everyone you see this weekend before 11 am of course!
9. Make a list of friends you haven't called in some time. And call them.
10. Give compliments that are not about looks.
11. Go for a walk. 
12. Accept that you are the lead actor in your life story. No matter what happened to you. 


Disclaimer: It is just a list.
