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…
Bucket List
My 50 before 50 bucket list
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…
Number 4 – Take a road trip in Europe
I have grown up on Bollywood movies especially Yash Chopra ones where Switzerland was a standard. I have seen so many European road trips on screen that it has been my desire to do the same. That is how it made my list. It was also reaffirmed when I married a roadster for a husband….
Number 3 – Take a Mediterranean Cruise
I have seen pictures of Greece and Italy. I have friends who are of Greek and Italian heritage. The stories from both have inspired me to visit the area some day and what better way to see it than by sea! Although this one will be a hard one to achieve as my darling husband…
