Here's the official post wishing you a
Happy New Year!!
PS: Like the sketch/caricature? Read on to know how to get one for you! :D
2008 was a great year, but I'm guessing you've already seen/read a lot about "10 Best blah blah of 2008". (Or what to do this holiday @ Google Blog :D) And everyone's busy sending greeting messages (& I'm in a hurry too!), so I'll keep this short.
I wanted to do something for my blog readers, so I thought of having a small contest (Inspired by some popular Design Blogs!). But since I can't offer much, I decided to make use of the pen tablet I have for a few days and make a sketch/caricature (or whatever you like to call it :D) of 4 5 of my Blog Readers! (Like the one above!) All you have to do, is a leave a comment, about "Your 5 Goals for 2009".
The 4 5 lucky people will be decided as following:
- The First two people who leave a comment on this post.
TwoThree people selected at random (Yes i'll draw lots) from the rest of the people who comment.
Every person is counted only once :P and please leave a comment using your Gmail id so I can contact you for a reference pic (Or leave your email id.. though I prefer the former).
So well, the rules are simple. Leave a comment about "Your goals for 2009" before 6:00 PM, 2nd January 2009 3:00 PM, 4th January 2009 (Indian Standard Time) and you'll have a chance to get a nice (I'll try my best :D) sketch/caricature :)
And well, here are my 5 goals for 2009:
- Have a great time during Quark (Tech Fest) & Waves (Cultural Fest) at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus.
- Try and learn Designing (hopefully get the Creative Multimedia Course).
- Explore Silverlight (Heard it?) & C#.
- Sketch regularly (Once a week).
- Manage decent grades (Now that's a tough one!)
Tell me your 5 goals for 2009, and get a chance to have your own sketch as a New year gift! :D
Oh & don't forget to subscribe to my blog to recieve instant updates of my posts (I'll announce the results in the next post!)
PS: This is my first try at having a contest. If it goes well, I'll try and take out more time for such contests! :)
PPS: Oh & if you like the idea of the contest, let your own blog readers also know about this contest by linking to this post! ;)
Update: I'm leaving for Goa, so I decided to shift the deadline a little further (and as pointed in the comments, now I'll make 5 sketches). I felt like making the best use of the tablet till I have it :D

Haha, nice way to increase your comment count!! OK, I'll participate :P Happy New Year!! Nice sketch, I hope I get lucky!!
And you're in luck, I usually avoid new year resolutions like the plague, but I spontaneously decided at 2 AM to make some resolutions this year.
1) Be nicer to people. And I mean nicer.
2) Be more whats-the-word-prudent? with money.
3) Start taking responsibility. Act responsibly (with the aim of eventually being able to convince parents to let me have the car)
4) Be more creative (I mean this)
5) Convince parents to let me keep a pet.
*Sigh* Got a lot of sweet-talking to do this year.
:P Best of luck with your goals/grade/silverlight(yes, I've heard of it) and contest!
@Darwin & Ankit: Congrats! :D
@Everyone else: Don't forger to subscribe to make sure you don't miss the next posts! ;)
1) Not break my shiny new tablet
2) Work on my shiny new tablet
3) Keep my shiny new tablet clean
4) Keep off Monginis and spend more time on my shiny new tablet
