New Year's Resolution

It was the first day of the new year, January 1.

On that day, Sahil and his friends were playing in the garden close to their house. They finished playing by noon, and everyone started returning to their homes.

Just when Sahil was about to leave, one of his friends, Kavita, asked him, "What is your New Year's resolution? I have made one to help my mother with the house chores."

Another friend of Sahil, Nilesh, said, "I have made a resolution to exercise and do yoga regularly." One after another, all of Sahil's friends told him their resolutions. After listening to everyone, Sahil said, "I haven't finalised mine yet. I will go home, decide and tell you tomorrow."

As soon as Sahil reached home, he sat in his room and started thinking about his resolution.

Sahil's sister, Sarah, saw him upset and asked, "What's the matter, Sahil? Why are you so upset today?"

Sahil replied, "All my friends have made New Year's resolutions, but I still haven't decided on mine. Can you help me?"

Sarah said, "Sure, Sahil, but you will have to stick to your resolution for the entire year. People make many New Year's resolutions but only follow them for a day or two and forget about them. You will have to stick to yours forever."

Sahil was taken aback, and he asked, "Which resolution is not followed?"
