Recently, while sifting through old diaries and journal, I came across a list that I had prepared last January as a Bucket List which I found was amazing! I couldn’t believe I was a child with such depth. Impressed, I thought I’d post it.

8. Organize a karaoke night and participate.
9. Dance in the first rain of the season.
10. Do something you’ve never done before. (Doesn’t include anything like jumping of the roof!)
11. Prepare an outfit for yourself and wear it on your birthday.
12. Visit Old Delhi and collect souvenirs.
13. Organize a cleanliness drive and participate.
14. Run in a marathon.

45. Buy an antique camera.
46. Redecorate your room.
47. Organize the closet.
48. Lose some weight by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
49. Get a summer job.
50. Eat chinese from outside at 2am.
51. Eat an entire tub of ice cream while watching Kal Ho Naa Ho.

53. Get 300 followers on WP.

How is it? How many have you done? Is it exciting? I love the ideas. As I recall, I’d initially planned for it to be a yearly challenge, but seeing some items, I don’t think it’s possible. So, it’ll be my bucket list.

  1. Oh my gosh! I love so many of your ideas! You sound like you’ve got an amazing life planned ahead of you! Respect to you for projects like the Cleanliness drive. If you could get something like that done, it would be AMAZING. The orphanage one, too 😊

    PS: If you do go to Starbucks and you’re absolutely stuck for choice, my favourite is a caramel frappucino without cream but with coffee. 😉My friends all say I’m crazy and that the full-cream chocolate frappe is much better 😊

    • Hahaha, that’s quite a lot, isn’t it? I hate shopping though. I hate it so much that I can wear three year old clothes just to not buy new ones. Promise to share that list with me, please?
