10 things to do before I say bye

#1 To travel and cover at least 80% (if possible, 100%) of all the places that I have in my 'to-see' list.Travelling is my biggest passion.A great immense of pleasure comes when I visit different places.Luxury travel is one thing, but I also wish to backpack to more exotic and adventurous places like Egypt,Tanzania, South Africa, Nepal, Srilanka,Iran et cetera.

#2 Snorkel.How long will I be fascinating those snorkelers on television channels and blogs? Time to gain some first-hand experience of it.Beautiful marine creatures!

#3 Run a full marathon.I am just a beginner in running and I love that 'feel-good' hormones after a run. It does wonders to my body.If I could still keep up with my running even after 5 or 6 years, I wish to take part in a full marathon.I don't mind even if I can't keep my momentum throughout.All that matters is that I have to try it.No regrets later!

#4 Spend at least a week far far away from home in a place where I don't have to worry about my alarm clock, Internet,phone calls, emails,studies,job, neighbors or anything of that sort.Trekking The great Himalayas seems to be a good idea. I need a break from the 'ever-busy' city life!

#5 Write it,baby! Writing seems to be my new found interest.I may not be good at it but I want to maintain a notebook where I can pen down my thoughts.It would basically contain articles of general topics or reviews of the books that I read and places I travel.

#6 Sky dive! Do I need to provide more explanation on this? I hope not!

#7 Practice yoga and meditation.

#8 Indulge myself with all my favorite foods and desserts without having to worry about those extra 5-10 pounds that I might be adding on to my poor 'little' body- Sounds pretty much like what I've been doing all this while!!?

#9 Watch the Wagah border closing ceremony and get it videotaped (memories!).

#10 Get drenched in rain.

A new year,A new decade!

Wishing you all a prosperous 2011! 2010 had been a year of fun and travel with as many as 4 trips to India and a visit to Dubai. In fact, I should say that it's been one of a fabulous year in my life with many pleasant memories to cherish.

As for the resolutions for 2011, I have a reasonably small list of things to accomplish. Few which can be shared and a few secretive ones.To take part in the Standard Charted Marathon-'11(10-K segment) which will be held in the month of December is in my list-to-do things for this year. It has been my dream for which I have been training over the past 2 months. Due to my 'busy' schedule at school and so much of other things that I engage myself with, I am not able to update my blog as much as I used to do in my initial days of starting a blog. So I am hoping to keep my blog updated then and now with more entries to share my life experiences.

I would like to end this entry with a little note of thanks to all the people who have played a part in my life. Doesn't matter how small it is.I always cherish it.Love you all, folks! Let's bid good bye to 2010 and start 2011 fresh with loads of happiness!

Welcome 2010! We are looking forward to seeing you!

I religiously take New Year Resolution every year,whether I do or don't follow them! If I had to pen down all the good or bad things that happened to me this year (2009), there are many.

Do not manipulate your thoughts or beliefs for someone else.No matter however you are or how decent you behave,there is always someone who doesn't like you or not happy about you.Its inevitable.So just be who you really are and don't care much about people around you who is unhappy with you for no reasons.This is something that I have learnt over this year.I also learnt
who my true friends are and who are just pretending to be like one.You know its quite a task to identify the toxic ones around us and ditch them.It needs some guts, even though it just may look simple and easy.Therefore I decided to stay away from the "venomous" friends and breathe in fresh air,meet new people in life.After all, I perpetually look forward for a change in life! On the other hand I am very much happy for the friends who truly love me for what I am.One of such a friend is Niveditha and I am glad that I have her in my life.

Well,talking about the coming year 2010 and my Resolution,I do have a few in mind.And I do intend to make all or at least most of them come true.One of them is to shed a few kilos and get fit! Another one of those is that I stop being a spend-thrift like I am now,and start saving up money for a good cause.

I am very much looking forward for the Year 2010.Happy New year to all! Have a fun filled year ahead.

p.s - This will probably be my last post for this year! So stay tuned for more interesting posts @ "My soul" next year!
