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...

I am thankful for

1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back.  2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others.  3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch.  4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...

There I was: a story

There I was. Standing in the midst of the hustling crowd, all excited faces around me, all waiting for a change - a new start. Some of them might want a new life, a new career, a new direction or maybe even a new love, but they all had one thing in common - all they wished was to leave behind their past full of mistakes and bad memories, a past filled with betrayals and broken hearts, a past that witnessed all disappointments and let downs. They wanted to put it all behind them, and start over new. They all needed to move on, just as this night would leave behind the darkness and turn into a beautiful canvas, with sparkles all over it, in few minutes. Yes, it's the New Year's Eve party. And I could see all eyes around me carrying that sparkle in them, ready to take risks, ready to go for another adventure, to face their fears, to dare playing with their hearts again. I was wondering what I was doing there, I had no one to be with, no one to kiss at the new year. Go...
