the bucket list

This is not a timed list as in I don't expect to mark a check against all of these by the end of the year. I just wish to work towards them. The joy of preparation and anticipation is more than achievement, I say :)


* Read a lot of marathi books. At least more than 2010, which was zilch.
* Start yoga/badminton. I swam a little in the sea in Goa and felt really good. But swimming still makes me apprehensive about the skin issues. Let's hope I can risk it a little this year, just to stay fitter.
* Write more. Meaningful stuff to be precise :D
* Learn to appreciate genuine praise garnered over me more graciously. Sometimes a simple thank you can suffice, no ? Without any explanations!
* Cook more. Try new stuff more often.
* Not lose touch with a lot of wonderful people I have distanced from (physically, owing to the big move from amreeka to India)
* Be less self judgmental and lesser so about friends. And be more compassionate in general.
* Consciously avoid annoying, not genuine people. Also keep safe distance from bitchy people. Also not give a shit about people who expect a lot. I am no mind reader, so if you cannot share/discuss your problems with me, I am going to believe everything is all right. If you choose to keep a grudge, your choice!


And lastly,
* Trust more. Believe more. Share more. Laugh more. Live life.
