Who is Farhan Lalji?

Happy New Year! A week off the grid in Egypt and I’m back bigger (5 desserts a day will do that to you), browner (yes as brown as I already was it is possible for me to get darker), and better (read a good book, that will do it for you). But more on Egypt later, I’ll wait till the pictures are up.Like a lot of other people I’ve made resolutions, if I write them here I feel like it’s more likely I’ll stick to them.

1. Read more. Started off the year in a good way, finished a book on holiday and have two on the go right now. After I felt shamed by N and H about their reading over the year I’m aiming to get through 40 good books this year. If you have any suggestions let me know!
2. Better the body, mind and soul. I know that sounds cliché but I’ve gotten doughier then I would have liked over the past two years. Want to get back into 1998 physical shape; I was pretty, so pretty then. And balance is going to be my theme for the year so if I improve the body, the mind and soul must follow – more cliché, I know sorry, I blame the Tao of Physics.
3. Multi task less. That might sound a bit daft, but this year I want to focus and enjoy every moment without stressing about the other 203,230 things I have to do. When I’m writing for the blog, I’m writing for the blog. When I’m at home chilling, I’m chilling. When I’m working, I’m focused on working. This is more of a trial then a resolution; I want to see if by being focused I’m better or worse.
4. Talk to my friends on the phone more. I’ve been terrible at keeping in touch with people. Relying on those that have skype, msn, and who email me, rather then the ones I really want to stay in touch with.
5. Blog more, 8 posts a month at a minimum. Hopefully I’ll continue the trend of having semi-interesting things to say.
