The Bucket List



Walking on a street, sitting alone in a metro, driving bike on NH-8 in complete solitude, sitting on a rickshaw moving slowly towards the destination, long 3AC train journeys or in a flight where you are always alone. These are the moments, I always find hundreds of thoughts crossing my mind, some arising from introspection, some inspired by others and some are those I have always dreamt about again and again. I am listing down the ones, I have felt most passionate for.

These are the things I wish to do sometime in future or things I have done and loved every moment of it or things I am gonna do very soon.

I plan to keep this list updated, keep adding stuff as I dream, and keep striking them off as I live them.
