This one will be one of the hardest, not because New York is far but because my sister is busy and I am not sure if she will be keen. But this has been my dream – shopping trip to the fashion haven with her. My sister and I are close! Not in the traditional…

Number 13 – Go on a trip with my parents
This tops my bucket list. As I grow older and get more philosophical, the thought that continually crosses my mind is that I have finite time with my parents! Mortality is the only truth of life! So I want to create memories and there are no better memories than travelling together. I have taken a…
Number 12 – Do 30 days of random acts of kindness
Kindness – just like gratitude, we all have it but we need to practise it more. Especially in today’s world where we need it all the more! This one will be really pushing my comfort zone! Not because I am not kind or practise it but chronicling 30 random acts straight would be hard. How…
Number 11 – Write Gratitude letters
This one is inspired by the fact that practising gratitude leads to happier lives. I have written gratitude letters in the past and it truly puts you in a positive frame of mind. So on my bucket list is to make it a habit and do it at least once a month. I will start…
Number 10 – Take a Family portrait
This is a simple one but very close to my heart! I wanna capture the moment and time with my family. This one is two fold – a family portrait with my parents and another one with my boys. The first part will be completed when I go to india in October. The other one…
Number 9 – Run a half marathon
I don't even know what a half-marathon looks like but this made my bucket list as it sounds challenging and way out of my comfort zone. I am a firm believer that growth comes from pushing your boundaries and exploring the unknown. This one would be very hard for me and I am not even…
Number 8 – Take a solo trip
Self discovery is as important as self confidence! And there is no better way to achieve both than take a solo trip. I have read so many articles where people undertook a solo trip and came back a changed person. It has been in my thoughts for a very long time and I have wanted…
Number 7 – Travel to Japan – Update
They say who has visited Japan once will do so again and again. My darling husband went to Japan in 1998 and he has wanted to go back ever since with me! Hearing stories from him and from all other friends who have visited Japan, it is a place that has been on my travel…
Number 6 – Lose 20 Kg
Out of all my items on my bucket list, this would be the hardest. And that is for 2 reasons – one, I love food way too much and second, I don't believe in weight loss and the whole concept around the ideal weight philosophy. For me being healthy has nothing to do with your…
Number 5 – Visit J&K and Kerala
I spent the first 30 years of my life in india but never got to travel there. My husband, on the other hand, comes from a defence force family and travelled the length and breadth of the country with his fighter pilot dad. Jammu and Kashmir is on my list for obvious reason. I did…
