"to procrastinate: to put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness." says the dictionary.
It was only recently that I discovered this English word 'procrastination'. What a beautiful name ! But don't be fooled, it hides its foulness beneath this richness of English phonetics.
I procrastinate a lot and I have paid my price for it, but the sad part of my story is that I can't stop myself from procrastinating. I procrastinated during my 10th board preparation, my JEE preparation and countless other this and that preparation. Some of them had disastrous consequences and others less so. It has now become a part of what I am, a part of my identity. "Bidyut leaves everything for the last moment" is the inside joke among my kins. But not anymore, I am soon going to transform my habits, I will soon part with my enemy.
And what's a better time to start than this new year ? So, my resolution this new year is that I'll not procrastinate........
.........Coming to think of it, may be this year is not the right time, I don't feel like doing it now...... may be next year, or the year after that or in the following years....!!!!!!
