The aged man was resting in the shade of the peepal tree on a hot and humid afternoon, when a sparrow maneuvered into the thick green branches, rustling the leaves in the otherwise silent atmosphere. The tired man didn’t notice the arrival of the newcomer. He just stroked his fingers over his cheeks where the bird’s dripping fell down over him, in his sleep.

I recently joined the Rome Construction Crew which is a group of bloggers aiming to achieve their goals through mutual support and understanding.
As much as I know, the crew members plan out their goals for every week and at the end of the week, they check out if they have been successful in achieving them or not. Even if it is not so, that is what I am going to do. I know I am quite late but still, I would plan out my goals for this week now which are as follows-
1. Writing Goals:- (i) Write short-stories(ranging from 100-1000 words) and he usual poems.
(ii) Work on a book of short-stories, assemble the stories from the hard drive and those published long time before on the blog.
(iii) Try to find more about the freelancing opportunities.
2. Mental-health related goals:- (i) Think about the future, without any anxiety and try to find out what I am going to do next.
(ii) Try to socialize; contact old acquaintances.
(iii) Try to speak minimum, because I feel frustrated later on if I speak more and try to avoid talkative people.
3. Physical-health related goals:- (i) Try to participate in physical activities.
(ii) Take a short walk every day.
(iii) Try to improve my stamina so that I won’t feel tired all day.
4. Reading goals:- (i) Complete reading 2 more books at least.
(ii) Read the poems by Poe and Sylvia Plath.
That is all. I know they are quite difficult for me, but I have to do something, right? I hope I will be able to accomplish most of these goals.
