Social Embarassment is a major trigger in most of our decisions. Our decisions today are hugely influenced by our friends, acquaintances around us.
Taking this logic forward, Iam testing a hypothesis: One is more likely to stick to a resolution if lots of people know about it and failure to stick to the resolution can lead to social embarassment.
There are deeper questions one could ask: If one keeps up the resolution, is it a triumph of social networking sites or an indicator of the depths to which our individuality has been banished to... In case of failure, is the person doomed beyond hope or will he once again learn to rely on his self...
But for Now, rumbling stomach calls for cutting this monologue short and announcing the resolution to anyone who cares to read this....
"Nitin Nair promises to be Completely off Non-veg till 1st November, also intends to run the 42 km marathon in Mumbai this year"
Phew... Thats it.. Done.. Easy it was.. or was it.. I could have made a bombastic statement like Only time will tell but then unfortunately todays dinner pangs might just decide the fate of this experiment...

Its really awesome but i can't stop myself from asking about how people rely back on themselves after successive failures
@ravi: Again i could have given an answer like "Ever heard of King Robert Bruce" but then i have no idea... Ur take ???
all the best for your effort dude :)
Its good you have made an annooncement but frankly speaking who will montior whether you are going to keep it or not..... You can secretly have a piece of non-veg and noone might know. So how does a social announcement help? If you want to do it do it for you not for your friends or acquatainces
Hmmm. One Question - When is Durga Puja?
This is in reply to NITIN's comment that we heard about this and that like the so called 'Hopeful stories' to be confident but does it makes any sense in present world????
we have the great story of the tortoise and the rabbit but do you still feel that a tortoise can beat a rabbit always or was it a mere coincidence.
