Bucket List 11 – 20

Number 20 – Start singing again and sing in a public event – Update

Posted on August 30, 2017 by Sonali

Not a lot of people know that I am a trained vocalist. My mom is a visharad in music and she ensured that both my sister and I learnt classical music and dance. Music is in our genes and I have performed on stage through out my school, college and after. And then somewhere, somehow…

Number 19 – Go skydiving

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Sonali

I am scared of heights! My worst nightmares have always been related to looking down and seeing abyss. On our New Zealand trip, we once went on a bridge which is one of the highest in the world. I had the shivers and I was in a car driven by my husband. But for some…

Number 18 – Throw a surprise party for my husband

Posted on August 27, 2017 by Sonali

Why is such a simple thing on my bucket list? It is because my husband hates surprises and organising a party for him, where he hasn’t a clue, will require planning and stealth! But I want to do it coz no one has ever thrown a party for him. My husband, like my dad, grew…

Number 17 – Make a family time capsule – Update

Posted on August 26, 2017 by Sonali

I was reading a blog and this idea came from there. What an amazing way to preserve memories! In our fast life and these days of digital life, majority of our memories are preserved in heads or digitally in someone’s computer/iPad. I love the idea of building a time capsule and opening at a later…

Number 16 – Visit my dad’s ancestral home

Posted on August 25, 2017 by Sonali

My dad was born in Agra and spent most of his growing years there. He was born in a rich family but the untimely death of his dad meant he did not grow up with any family riches. In fact the family story is that my great grandad had multiple properties and riches but he…

Number 15 – Learn a new language

Posted on August 23, 2017 by Sonali

This item has been on my list for a long time. I love languages – they are a key in understanding how societies evolved. Cultures, clothing, rituals and the foundation of societies are bound by languages. And I love knowing more about it. People and discovering more about them is what interests me! And there…

Number 14 – Go to New York with my sister

Posted on August 22, 2017 by Sonali

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

Posted on August 21, 2017 by Sonali

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

Posted on August 20, 2017 by Sonali

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

Posted on August 18, 2017 by Sonali

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…
