My 2015 Bucket List

Like everybody else, I too have made several bucket lists over last few years. Last year, I had 4 things on my list: Get a tattoo, drive on Golden Gate Bridge, go Skydiving, and visit Las Vegas. But, even after keeping the list short, I could do only half of it. I did get a tattoo and also drove on the Golden Gate Bridge which was awesome. But sadly, the rest of it couldn't happen!


I might be a little late in doing this but I am making another list this year, we'll see how far we go with this one!
  1. Make this year a year of me. As far as I can remember, I have always given more importance to others- their happiness, their expectations of me. I want to change this. I want to be selfish. 
  2. Travel. Like last year, I have a few destinations in mind but I have learned that we cannot plan too much. So, I will try to travel as much as I can without making rigid expectations from this year or from people. If someone is reading, I still have Vegas and Florida on my list.
  3. Save. I will start working soon, and I want to create a good balance of spending and saving. I am not a miser person, I like going out and buying things I like for me and my loved ones. But, at the same time, I have student loans to pay off and I must save for that to be debt-free sooner.
  4. Try to be more outgoing. I am kind of socially awkward; it takes a great effort to prepare myself to meet with people. Small talk is not my cup of tea. But, I also know the importance of socializing, and also once I am past that initial phase of awkwardness, I enjoy hanging out with people. I like making friends; it's just the first step that needs to be worked on. Any help there?
  5. Be fit. I have struggled with my weight issues for years now. It takes me months to lose what I can put back on in days. I really want to lose weight this year, and also make a stronger and healthier body. I bought a mason jar to put aside a dollar for every time I workout, so I can reward myself with something pretty in the end!
  6. Read more. Write more. Over last few years, reading and writing just fell behind, and I really enjoy both those things. This year I am hopefully gonna be a little settled down and I want to get back to my hobbies a little more. Also, make some new ones!
  7. Connect with loved ones. I tend to get busy and overwhelmed when I have a lot to do, and sometimes reaching out to friends and family suffers because of it. I want to make sure that I am in touch with all who matter to me, because life will always be there with its ups and downs. In the end, it's the people in our life that give meaning to it.
What do you have on your list?

    Love your bucket list, especially the "Read more. Write more." That's one of my top resolutions for this year.

    reading and writing more is on my list, I tend to slack on reading when I read blogs instead! Also getting fit, I NEED to get fitter this year, I'm fed up of being the last one up the hill on our walking holidays!!

    My list includes a healthy birth (we have a little girl due in June), writing more, getting my finances in order, and getting healthier. So far, in the last month and a half, I've made some progress! I think it definitely helps to have it down on paper.

    I like that idea you have with the dollars and the jar. I should TOTALLY do that because I hate working out. I'm trying to get rid of all of my student loans as well. Ugh. It's such a hassle but I know that when it's finally done with I'll be so relieved! Great goals! I hope you can do them all.

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17.  Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...

Transient Tuesdays: Create change

Imagine a world where everything remained unchanged. That would mean no age, no time, no movement and of course no development. If you ask me, I see no difference between death and remaining static. When was the last time you did something new?  How long have you been sticking to a routine and disregarded the idea of doing something new for a change? Is any of your bad habits causing you pain?  You realize you have to change but simply can't bring yourself to do it?   Do you fear changing will jeopardize your present circumstances? I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to these questions. The fact that you're reading this means you want to take the steps and turn your life around. You must be aware how important change is to our survival. Change is mandatory. Change is constant. Change is inevitable. Change is everywhere and present in the most minute of things. It's happening to you as you read this. So, why do we shy away from...
