Every year, on/near my birthday, I make a bucket list for that year. I made one for when I was 25 and I'm making one for my 26th year on this planet. I struck off a lot of things from my earlier bucket list like - visiting a new country (Singapore and Malaysia), I got a second chance at love, I got a job, I made truce with the bovine, I kinda met an internet friend, I rode the metro, I tried new cuisines and new things, I started whining less and being more positive and a whole bunch of other stuff. But most importantly, I walked AND DANCED in heels!
Here is the list for 26!
1) Get an apartment
2) Get my MBA degree
3) Learn to drive
4) Visit a new country on my own
5) Learn one thing new every month
6) Get guinea pigs
7) Learn to sing at least one song well
8) Get better at ignoring the drama
9) Read poetry at Urban Solace (this is a scary one!)
10) Keep a "good things" journal. Write in it EVERY DAY!
11) Join yoga class and then contortions
12) No broken bones
13) Get published.
14) Get back in touch with an old friend
15) Visit Mumbai (Swats, Swaha and Tony!)
16) Learn to dance
17) Get a toned body
18) Do one huge arty thing that is NOT writing, no matter how shitty it is, just do it!
19) Learn to be patient and not react instinctively.
20) Be more forward with thoughts and opinions.
21) Write fiction. Prose. Can be an essay, a story, whatever. But no autobiographical stuff.
22) Do something once a week that will make someone really happy, but expect nothing in return.
23) Stop being afraid.
24) Learn to cook Indian food.
25) Take mum out on a vacation
26) Learn to let go and not plan obsessively.
There you have it. I hope things work out this year!! :D
