1.
Travel
I
want to see, explore, and experience different culture, cuisines and everything
new about all the (atleast most of the) countries in this world and esp. India.
Even thou I would like to go with a friend or a dear one, some places are
entirely reserved for solo travelling.
2.
Learn
There
are so many subjects I want to learn academically. But in between got diverted
to things that never interested me. Now, took the initial step to the old road.
Thou it is going to take almost another 10 years to reach there… I am on my
way.
3.
Adopt a Baby Girl
The
day I hit 30 (if not married), going to write the application for this. If
unfortunately I am married before that, I will make sure my man is in tune with
this decision of mine. Therefore, whatever my relationship status will be,
adopting a child tops the list.
4. Book
Café
A
cozy cave with so much of colors, lights and soothing music in the background.
Nook and corners filled with bookracks. Hammocks, beanbags, couches, and common
reading areas and also private spaces to those who want to hide from the crowd,
party rooms. Lots of caffeine, beverages, chocolates, other sinful delights,
some selected cuisines, laughter, smiles, memories etc etc etc .
5. Careers
Work
for a Newspaper – I want to know how these papers work. How journalists give
their best to write a story, how photographers hold their breath to capture
that perfect shot, how all these are combined to form the bundle of paper we
hold each day with a cup of coffee to know about the world.
Work
for a NGO – MAD was the group who showed me that happiness doubles when you
make another person happy, and triples if it is a child. Another event with the
kids made me realize there are children who want to be heard, who seek
companionship, just to be there for them, and to ensure that everything good
is going to happen to them. When I was part of these tiny tot moments of them,
the self-satisfaction I felt was so immense. And I want more of that.
A
teacher – No, I do not have the patience for this. Even an hour with my teenage
brother along with his books, makes me scream, take a cane, blackmail him,
pinch him, and makes me completely insane. So hours with students bearing all
their acts is something above my tolerance level. But the way a teacher can
touch a child’s life is magical. And atleast for once, I wish… I hope… I pray…
I could be part of that magic.
6.
Adventure
Sky
diving/Paragliding/River drafting/Mountaineering/Scuba diving/etc etc …. These are things I intent to do when I
pack my backpack and leave home to see the world. So when travelling is
happening this is also definitely going to happen.
7. Live
in New York
These
days travelling to NY is not a big deal. But I don’t want to just visit that
place and come back. It has always mesmerized me just by letting me know her
through movies and books. I want to live there atleast for a year, be a part of
everyday life in NY and want to know that place like the back of my hands.
8. My
very own Library
This
is one dream very bibliophile cherish. Same goes for me too. Imagine just
opening that door in your house, when you are in need of a book. No driving. No
shopping. No waiting. Nothing! Just take that book from the shelf, find a cozy
corner, and curl up with a cup of cocoa and the book. Bliss!
9.
Publish a Book
No…
not my live story. A fiction? Not sure. But something.
10. Live
life with no regrets
Waking
up someday when I’m in my 60’s, 70’s or 80’s and realising that I didn’t live my
life the way I wanted or didn’t see those places I dreamt of or didn’t
read/see/experience that book/movie/show I so badly wanted too or didn’t take
up that career I saw myself in or was too late to say “I love you” to someone or
anything like that. Someone once said that peaceful death comes to those people
who lived their dream life in their own terms. Therefore, that is the ultimate
aim.
