Except that I'm not making them. The world should make a few resolutions for this year, to make sure that we have a better time. And it had better not break them.
1. No more scams:
2010 saw the most scams since... well, 2009. It definitely saw some of the most audacious scams ever - with A. Raja making the whole of India feel inadequate for not having a single word for lakh crore, the team behind the Commonwealth Games making everyone think they'd wandered into Zimbabwe, where a single mattress costs lakhs of rupees, with onion prices skyrocketing (OK, this is not technically a scam) ... Everyone seemed to be making pots of money illegally in 2010, except me. And you. This must stop.
2. 1983 part 2:
There's a World Cup this year. And India might actually win it. That would be a nice resolution for 2011 to make.
3. Less holidays on Saturdays:
Every public holiday last year seemed to be on a Saturday - from Independence Day (OK, that was a Sunday) to Christmas and New Year's Day. The worst part is that 2011 will be just as bad, with all the holidays falling on Sundays.
And we all know what's happening in:4. 2012-eve:
Since a lot of very wise people think the world will end in 2012, 2011 should resolve to be like the last wish and the last meal granted to a condemned prisoner - something special. Just wondering if world don't end in 2012, it's going to be one baby riots in hospitals across the world in the month of November.
5. Less bizarre relationship choices:
Not many men who are married to a Swedish supermodel would cheat. That's bizarre. Not too many things that Shane Warne can do, relationship-wise, will surprise anyone anymore, but Liz Hurley? That's bizarre. A headline saying: Elton John welcomes baby boy. That's bizarre. Add to that the daily dose of bizarre-ness one can find in everyone's favourite advice column in the papers, and 2011 has to do a lot to improve.
