I wish this year brings peace and justice to everyone. As man-made and natural calamities have been occurring all over the world, I hope this year brings relief and calmness. I wish that humans and the Earth get the chance to heal. Personally, I wish to perform better in my exams and grow my social circle. As a change from regular life, I want to participate in more adventurous activities like hiking, trekking and camping. This year, I also aspire to learn to stay calm.

I hope 2026 brings me more stability, as the previous year was unpredictable. I wish to learn data analysis or project management this year, which will support my career in the future. The year should arouse curiosity in me, encouraging me to take up new challenges and develop my personality. I wish to connect with nature and find peace by travelling to Kerala, Himachal Pradesh or the beaches of Goa. Besides this, I wish to get better at managing tasks and completing my work on time, so I have enough time for myself and my family and friends. I have realised that though I might be busy, it is important that I care for myself and my loved ones.

I have long been waiting to welcome and care for a puppy. Additionally, I want to engage in activities that enhance my confidence and social skills. As I have a strong connection with music, I wish to master playing the guitar and composing my own melodies. I wish to make new memories by visiting a new country.

I wish 2026 is filled with fun. I wish to pursue a new interest like coding, learning the guitar or drawing. I want to spend more time practicing tabla so that I can master complex rhythms. Furthermore, I wish to explore new books that take me on journeys to distant, magical places. I can’t wait to build new friendships, spend time with friends and enjoy laughs with them during school activities and projects. To improve my physical health, I wish to engage in more outdoor games such as badminton. A habit I aim to overcome this year is procrastination. As a part of my self-growth journey, I wish to start a gratitude journal, which will help me be grateful for small things. On Sundays, I want to spend some time thinking about the week, learning from my mistakes and celebrating small wins.
