As much as I am tempted to say the usual happy new year and the favourite line of “New Year, New Me” slang, I will refrain from it. Every day is a new day and another opportunity to pursue your dreams and smash those goals. A change in the decade or the figures in the year would not do much if you do not put structures and strategies in place to become a better version of your present self. Creating vision boards, writing goals down are all beautiful attempts that require intentional efforts to see them come through. Having said all that, we move as I am committed to bringing you tech news, deals and opportunities that would improve your personal and professional life as well.
