Vacation

It's so much fun to get away and explore new places. When I was unmarried I didn't feel that excited about travelling. I don't know why:-p
I love travelling with my husband though. I love seeing new places and doing exciting things along with him.

We will be going on our second honeymoon to Oahu, Hawaii. We have booked activities like snorkeling, sunset dinner cruise on our anniversary night, sightseeing etc. I can't wait!! We will also be going to Florida on the Labor day weekend. I love beaches. I can just lie in the water all day. People living close to water are so lucky! Although, I am sure they get tired of it. Grass is always greener on the other side.


I am so glad for vacations.

Parting thought:
Work to live not live to work!

Wishlist

It's been a long hiatus since I have written anything. Sorry blog for ignoring you:-p I have all these thoughts floating around and when I actually get to write I can remember nothing.

Here are a few things on my wishlist. I'll try to keep adding to it.

1) I want to find the time to read a good book. The last one I read was a terrible one. I read it on my flight to India. It was called "Desirable Daughters" by Bharati Mukherjee. When I find the time, I really want to write a terrible review on Amazon warning people not to read the mindless book. I don't know how it got published.

2) Lose 10 more pounds. I should get back to the gym and start working out regularly. I hate gaining weight and I hate feeling fat. I want to try on clothes in the shopping mall and not worry about the fitting.

3) Learn how to curl my hair like the lady at the salon.

4) Learn how to cook well and healthy. I enjoy cooking and I wish I could find the time and energy to do it more often.

5) Learn how to write good english. It seems that my grammar is deteriorating. It used to be much better in India. I am forgetting things now.

6) Be a better wife, daughter, sister, friend.. and a better human being.

7) Smile more often. Smiling more often evades pain and tricks your body into thinking that you are happy. ( I heard that on the radio today and really liked it. Smiling does make you feel good indeed. So next time you are feeling low - go in front of the mirror and smile.)

8) Be selfless. Think about others more than I think about myself.

9) Hear, see and speak no evil

10) Overcome sweet temptations and fatty stuff

11) Learn more about global warming

12) Learn how to skate

13) Go on a Europe tour

14) Learn Yoga...someday

15) See good in people

16) Be more optimistic

17) Be stronger and less sensitive

18) Feel good and spread the goodness. Positive energy attracts positive energy.

19) Be a good friend who cares and is there for anyone in need

20) Overcome jealousy. Girls are jealous even if they are unaware, don't realize it or fail to admit that they are.

21) Drink more water

22) Organize the digital pictures

23) Overcome my inner fears

24) Learn how to ski

25) Learn Bharatnatyam. I love this form of dance. I would love to learn salsa as well.

26) Be good to others at all times even if they are not good to me. Eliminate the feeling of negativity

27) Give and expect nothing in return

28) Buy a nice cozy house to raise a family

29) Learn a foreign language

30) Keep in touch with friends more often

31) Be polite and act politely at all times.

32) Write a diary

33) Write a book/novel

34) Take up a creative activity

35) Recycle properly

36) Join a charity

37) Sponsor a child

38) Learn to trust

39) Be informed about the world

40) Expand my general knowledge

41) Win a lottery:)

42) Act in Bollywood/Hollywood

43) Be famous

44) Let go of material desires

45) Feel good

46) Live in an exotic island

47) Call my family more often

48) Be an entrepreneur

Well, these are enough for now:)
