Bucket List 31 – 40

I grew up in a land locked state and I admit I am scared of water bodies. My nightmarish dreams have always been made of me in a train surrounded by water and nothing else! Looking at all this, you would think that I would have learnt to swim ages ago! But my fear has…

I love learning! My motivation for life and everything is based on my learning graph. As long as I continue to grow as a person and learn and discover new things, I am happy! So learning a new skill is on my bucket list. I haven’t figured out what coz I do want to get…

They say a picture says a thousand words. I say it can tell a story! Actually most pictures had a story behind them till someone took that concept and converted it to Instagram stories! Now we have pictures and stories not stories in pictures! I was introduced to Instagram a few years back and while…

I love writing my blog, it is therapeutic for me. I have always been able to pen my thoughts better on paper (electronic paper) in this case. I am a vociferous speaker too as most of my acquaintances will agree but writing helps me channel my energies in a focussed way. When I started my…

One thing you must have noted from my blog is my love for train journeys. It is because they are woven throughout my childhood. Being the only mode of transport for middle class families (flights were only for uber rich), most of our travels were on the quintessential Indian railways in second class. And they…

I grew up in a regular middle class family in India. This was a time before India’s global expansion and sixth pay commission – simpler times! A yearly train trip to Nani house in Jaipur was our getaway, an occasional meal at the local restaurant a treat, movies in theatres were for special occasions and…

When I was a young girl, this was a norm in summer. We lived in an innocent world devoid of technology and summers in my Nani’s house were fun! We had an evening ritual of spraying water on the rooftop to cool down the floor after the heat all day. Then all the kids put…

I am a book worm. I have been fond of reading since a very young age, so much so that I can’t sleep without reading a few pages. I have been lucky to have people around me who encouraged my reading habits. As a young child, our school had a very extensive library and I…
