Bucket List 21 – 30

Number 30 – Watch the top 10 Bollywood movies of all times

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Sonali

I am a Bollywood junkie – the music, the dance, the bigger than life movies. I live every bit of it. So the top 10 movies had to be on my bucket list. In hindsight though, I think I may have watched most of not all of them. If that is the case, this one…

Number 28 – Visit Taj Mahal by moonlight

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Sonali

Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, is on most people’s wish list. It is on mine too even though I have visited it once. But this time I want to see it in moonlight. Apparently, it brings a whole different charm to it when you see it at night. I will…

Posted on September 8, 2017 by Sonali

A women needs her girlfriends! Every single woman on this earth will subscribe to that. We need our girlie band to make us feel complete. They are the ones who we go to when we are frustrated with the mars and yang stuff. They get us! I am lucky that I have developed a close…

Number 26 – Volunteer at a kids charity at least once a month

Posted on September 7, 2017 by Sonali

I won’t call myself someone who donates a lot to charity. I do from time to time when something I come across touches my heart. I believe that charity begins at home and would rather help where help is needed and I know the personal story. While charities are great and set up with the…

Number 24 – Make an annual tradition and stick to it

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Sonali

I am a person who likes writing down things, on paper or digitally! Once I do that, I am more likely to stick to it. Written word is very powerful and helps you focus more, at least in my experience. I have used that technique in my working life too and it has always worked….

Number 23 – Go to movies alone

Posted on September 2, 2017 by Sonali

I am a Bollywood fan! There was a time in my younger, carefree days when I used to watch most movies “First Day, First Show”. I have stood in line for hours to get that one coveted ticket to some of the biggest blockbuster. While I have watched most movies with friends, it has been…

Number 22 – Meet Sheryl Sandberg and Indira Nooyi

Posted on September 1, 2017 by Sonali

I am a feminist – not the way it is described in the media these days but the fact that male and female are equal and complement each other. In Hinduism, we have a word called “ardhangini” which means that half of you. The meaning of this is that a male and female complete each…
