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…

Number 39 – Learn a new skill
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…
Number 38 – Take a picture everyday for one year
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…

A year gone by……..
Today is the last day of 2017 and I sit here in my bedroom reflecting on the year gone by……ohh how fast time flies! It feels like yesterday that I was writing my blog about 2016. And here I am saying good bye to another year….full of memories with friends and family! 2017 taught me…

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…
Number 36 – Learn to bake a cake
I suck at baking! The best I have done is make the pre-mixed cup cakes and even they have turned out to be ordinary! So you can imagine why this is on my bucket list. For once I want to bake a cake from scratch, one that looks and tastes good! I saw this recipe…
Number 35 – Own a business
I love working – I have worked since I was 14. I started by taking tuitions for younger kids and then progressed to do a job. I love the routine, financial freedom, socialising, really all aspects of a job. I know I am good at what I do, partly coz I am passionate and give…
Number 34 – Take a trip on Indian Pacific or The Ghan
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…
Number 33 – Stay a night at Leela in Udaipur
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…
