For The Love Of A Wish


Thinking about 2012 made me realize I don’t have a proper defined wish list, you know, that list of things you HAVE to accomplish before you literally kick the bucket. And I realized the one outlined in my head barely ever gets ticked, because well, it’s mental, and if no one knows about it, I can’t really be held accountable for nothing getting done now, can I?

So with much coaxing from me and me, here it is…*drumroll*…my rather dynamic and ever-growing WISH-LIST (or at least the sweet censored version of it!):
  1. Sky Dive, and live to tell the tale
  2. Bungee Jump
  3. Join dance classes (Delhi, August 2012)
  4. Actually dance on a stage in front of people (MICA, 2009, 2010)
  5. Reach ideal weight (the quantitative figure may be enquired about on a more personal forum)
  6. Goa (January, 2012)
  7. Leh
  8. Ride a roller coaster (Singapore, November 2012)
  9. Get a full body massage (Langkawi, November 2012)
  10. Colour my hair red (Delhi, 2004)
  11. Visit Maldives
  12. Backpack through Europe
  13. Deep-sea diving (Okay, so cheating here slightly, Snorkeling, Langkawi, November 2012)
  14. Travel alone (Singapore, November 2012)
  15. Get a tattoo (Mumbai, 2011)
  16. Play in snow (Switzerland, 2016)
  17. Be the subject of an actual photo shoot (Mumbai, December 2013)
  18. Attend a Bachelorette party (Mumbai, 2011)
  19. Attend a Bachelor party
  20. Set out on a trip without a plan
  21. See a musical on Broadway (London, 2013)
  22. Experience a romantic evening in Paris
  23. Walk on the Grand Canyon Skywalk
  24. Learn to ride an Activa without crashing
  25. Write a magazine/newspaper column
  26. Get out of India
  27. Write a blog read by more than two people, well, a lot of people
  28. Receive a compliment about my writing from Jug Suraiya
  29. Kick a guy in the balls
  30. Be Me
  31. Be happy
P.S. Am turning this post into a page, because I’ll be adding subtracting for a long looong time to come.
P.P.S. If you can suggest more things you think I might like, or some way of actually ticking off some of the things here, well shout out!!!
P.P.P.S. Thought you knew me. Well, did you?

  20. @Phatichar - Yes have been fortunate enough to have attended two. I think they were really enough.

  21. This list makes me happy, simply for the reason that I seem to have accomplished many pointers on it - Thank you for that :P.

    Suggest you include rural New Zealand and Alaska in your must visit list of places considering you have Europe and Maldives up there.

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Atrocious Scribblings - Well...lucky you!! Wish I could say the same! I still seem quite far away from target achievement!

    And thanks for the suggestion. You've been to Alaska?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  23. No, haven't been to Alaska or New Zealand for that matter but have covered quite a bit of Europe.
