2015's top 15!

Hello everybody,
I hope each one of you is having a fantastic new year. I thought I'd do a round - up of 15 most interesting things expected to happen in 2015.
Here is a list of the most interesting topics/ subjects/ events/ occurrences that are expected to be the buzz in 2015!
This list is based on what interests ME the most and may exclude events of greater significance. :P
   
     Astronomy:

1. NASA's Dawn spacecraft is expected to arrive at the  dwarf planet Ceres (which lies between Mars and Jupiter) in February 2015. The main aim of this mission is to find out the conditions and processes that took place during the formation of our Solar System.
2. NASA's New Horizon probe (launched in 2006) arrives at Pluto.
3. In September, we will witness the most visible Lunar Eclipse as it occurs on a Full Moon, a Supermoon and a Harvest Moon.

Tech:






Virtual reality
Internet of things- for all the non-geeks out there... Internet of things is the concept of connecting various devices/ applications to the internet to customize the the way they function based on individual preferences.
Big Data - the amount of data collected from various sources continues to explode and Big Data Analytics is expected to be the 'Most sought after skill' in 2015. 

Gadgets:







Microsoft releases Microsoft Lumia 2020 PureView -  Being a big fan of Lumia, this is what has me most  excited! :D
Samsung is expected to release a phone with a bendable screen!
Oculus Rift a Virtual Reality headset -  I'm not a gaming enthusiast, but this features on my list because of the amount of hype it has already created. :P

Movies:







Minions: A Prequel to Despicable Me - Despicable Me was wonderful, haven't been able to watch Despicable Me 2... but excited for this!
Disney's Cinderella -  I think I've watched every Cinderella based movie ever made, and now that Disney is making one, I'm obviously super excited for this!
A tie between Taken 3 and Mohenjo Daro (Bollywood) - After Taken and Taken 2, I have high expectations from Taken 3. Jodha Akbar was the last movie where Hrithik Roshan and Ashutosh Gowarikar worked together. Loved Jodha Akbar and hopefully this will be of the same level! (also it is being made in association with Disney!)(There is news that Mohenjo Daro will release in 2016. :( Will have to wait and watch)

Other:






One Direction' s 'On the Road Again' Tour,  '1989' - Taylor Swift's World Tour
Elvis Presley's 80th Birthday Celebration.
The First World Indigeneous Games in Brazil

So this is the list! If there are any others you are excited about, do let me know in the comments section.

Bye! :D

My Resolutions for 2015

2015 is going to be a year of change for me since I will be graduating from college this year. I'm unsure about what I will be doing this year (studying/ working etc. ). I may continue living where I currently am; or may move away to a new city. I'm not sure right now, so coming up with my new year's resolutions was a little difficult. But nevertheless I've come up with a few. Here they are:

1) Socialize more... talk to more people.
2) Plan my work and start off on assignments/ projects well in time. 
3) Update my blog regularly. (I will take a break when I have a lot of submissions etc. but will definitely get back once I'm done with them)
3) Eat healthy
4) Educate myself about the world of finance (I'm clueless right now :( )
5) Watch the news more often.
6) Do more social work. (I recently got to know about a voluntary organization that helps orphaned children. Hope to get associated with it and become an active volunteer)
7) Reduce the time I spend watching TV

These are all the resolutions I have for now. I hope to stick to them and I will make a conscious effort to monitor my progress. Wish me luck! :)

New year resolutions

I don't know what it is about new year. I feel like there is a general positivity in the atmosphere.  Maybe it is the thought of starting things afresh. New year gives you a chance to pause and review the past year. See how much you've progressed think about what you could have done better and decide what you would like to do the next year. Having a resolution is like setting goals and a year is a substantial period to set for achieving those goals. Goals adds purpose to life... they act as a driving force. I think the general desire for humans to improve and better themselves is what makes us want to make new year resolutions.
I have never really tried to keep up my resolutions until this year. This year I'm going to put in my best efforts to stick to them. I'm still working on my resolutions for 2015. Will post them here once I'm done.
Go on make up your resolutions. Let's try and become better humans this year! :D
