Pieces of my thoughts

Hello, 2025! I am sure you will be good.

It’s already the 20th day of the first month when I am writing this one. The days are zooming fast with a lot of things happening around and with me. Before we started 2025, in one of the twitter threads during ’24 wrap up, I mentioned a few of my goals in it. Some of them are personal. Some are professional stuff. I think when I start the blogging journey of 2025, it will be good to expand on them a bit here.

When I look back at 2024, it has been a mixed bag of joy and sadness, achievements and failures. Some things worked out well, some failed miserably. I know this is what life is, and yet, all of us feel those strong emotions of happiness, sorrow and anger when things go either way! This is what #BeingHuman is, I guess!

Hey 2025, Let’s do this!

Coming back to 2025, and what I want to get done in this year. I guess now I have moved on from the resolution phase. Resolutions put too much pressure on me. I feel goals are more accessible, achievable and manageable. You can take a review of your progress, alter your course, and reach the goal. However, in resolution, if it breaks, there’s no turning back.

So, there are some goals I set for 2025.

Personally, I want…

1. Thankfully 2024 didn’t throw any tantrums regarding health issues neither physical nor mental. I expect the same from ’25. In this year, I would like to be more mindful about my health, both mental and physical. So, I will try to build healthy habits.

2. All of you who have been supporting and showering me with your love support for this blog are aware about my love for the books. I am a bibliophile through and through. Books are one thing which gives me a lot of joy and peace. I read or listened to 50 books in 2024.

For this year, I am making one book per week. So, 52 for the ’25.

3. Blogchatter retreats were highlights for the past couple of years. Varanasi and Kolkata have given me a lot in terms of creativity. I would like to travel more in the coming year. I would like to have some more short trips to get more vitamin sea other than the upcoming #BlogchatterRetreat!

Professionally, I want…

1. I am a professional mapmaker. So when I think about my professional goals, in 2025, I would like to be more creative when I make those maps. I want to make them easier to understand, attractive and interactive using new technologies.

2. 2020 was also the youtube year for many creators including me. I could gain more than 100 followers by uploading videos consistently for 4 months and then momentum just crashed. I wish to take it up again in 2025, with renewed light and may be renewed content.

Maybe, I will bring in some bookish content to Adi’s Journal YT.

3. I have been writing poetry for more than a decade. I have my first poetry collection published in 2021. Now, I want to put my first paperback book out for the world to read. Not sure if it’s going to be published by a publisher or by myself. But I want it to take shape this year!

First paperback?

Have you guys set any such goals for you? Share them in the comments. Let’s keep motivating each other.

  1. How interesting! A professional mapmaker. It’s the first time I’ve had the privilege to meet/hear about a professional mapmaker. As children, my sons drew maps when we went on vacations, and we have treasured them. May you have a fruitful 2025.
