15 doable things that you can add to your Bucket list.

It's hard to find someone who doesn't have a bucket list these days. Things you should do before you die! Let me stop you right there.
I'm not going to list typical things.
  • Go scuba diving
  • Go skydiving
This is so cliche. Because of one out of 1000 are only able to do these things. What's the point of having Wishlist if you can't even do the half of those things? 
So I'm about to give you a list of things to add to your list, which by 85% you might be able to do. 
     
           1. LEARN TO DRIVE 

            I know that most of you already know this but this is just for starters. Some of you may not know how to drive. Learn to drive. So that your parents don't have to call someone else when they have to go somewhere. So that you can be where ever you want to be (if you own a ride obviously). 

2. PLAY WITH FRIENDS  
  IN RAIN

              Some of you, well most of you might have already done this during their childhood. 
But those who haven't till this moment LETS DO THIS. It is so refreshing that once felt you don't want it to stop.
P.S: Don't forget to dry your hair immediately after the drill.

           3. OWN A PET

              Whatever it may be, a cat or a parrot. It's always good to have a pet. It gives responsibility at this age. To feed them. To take good care of them. It also gives you a great relief from your work stress or whatever.
P.S: Reports say that dogs can understand your feelings better than anyone else.

       4. SLEEP UNDER A SKY 
              FULL OF STARS
                           
         
   Well, this may be a little bit awkward. ”Mom I'm going to sleep on the terrace”. This can also be done when you go camping somewhere. Isn't it wonderful to see all those twinkling stars far away (knowing that they ain't actually twinkling)? 
P.S: Try to pick someplace where there are relatively fewer mosquitoes. 

         5. USE A TELESCOPE

                  
I got this idea from John Green’s ”Turtles all the way down”. Imagine seeing all those stars and galaxies at your fingertips (knowing that they are light years away). Identifying shapes, entering into a whole different level of reality.
        Dude, it's somewhat above the budget to own a telescope, right?. It's okay, you can visit nearby regional science centres or laboratories, where they have a telescope. I'm sure it might not be a problem if you take a peek.

  6. MAKE YOUR SCRAPBOOK

    
 A Scrapbook can be anything. You can fit your whole life into it. With photographs from your childhood, postcards from your friends, memories. Creating something which is whole about yourself. 

         7. START A BLOG


Me, personally encourage this choice very much. (Welcome to my blog BTW, Ahem). It can be about anything you have knowledge about, health, lifestyle, maybe even about yourself and thoughts running  through your mind. 
P.S: If you are good enough, you can even make some bucks out of it.

          8. WRITE A BOOK

    
  F this. I'm out. It doesn't have to be ”Alchemist” or ”Harry Potter”. Just something that purely comes out of your mind. A story, may be. A fiction, Good. Whatever it may be. Once you've finished it, you'll feel proud of yourself. 

     9. TAKE POLAROID PICTURES 
            WITH ONES YOU LOVE

   
 A Polaroid cam doesn't cost much these days. So this is quite doable. Taking pictures with ones you love, (Not like professional ones) which only depicts your love between. 
P.S: Hang them around your room with little light works(Saw in some movie)

       10. GO CAMPING WITH 
                YOUR FRIENDS 

   Camping is fun. It's night, and you are in the middle of nowhere with your best ones, sitting around the campfire, listening to music, laughing to jokes. Ultimate freedom, one hell of an experience.
P.S: Check out my post on ”Camping Tips”


       11. GO ON A ROAD TRIP 
         EXPLORING NEW PLACES


   There's nothing better than going to places that you've never been before. Exploring the culture. Meeting new people. Getting to know about strange and beautiful traditions.

         12. GO ON A SOLO
                 ADVENTURE 

  
Once in a while, It's good to leave everything behind for some days. Work, family, friends. Go somewhere you've never been before. Just yourself. Try something new, rock climbing, hiking, You name it.

    13. SCREAM AT THE TOP OF 
                  A MOUNTAIN          

   
”The best view often comes after the hardest climb” (*unknown). Climbing a mountain requirements s some work. After the climb, you will be exhausted. You'll have the urge to say something thing to the whole world. It would be AWESOME to scream with your full energy.
P.S: I would rather say that F word.

           14. DO YOUR DREAM JOB.

  You don't always get the job you want immediately after the college. You have to be patient. Work hard on where you are and improve yourself. Be confident and be consistent about what you want to do. With enough hard work, chances are you'll be sitting in the chair which you wanted.
 P.S: I got limited knowledge about this.

         15. BE INDEPENDENT

     
   What if you were in control of your life. You are secure with a job, you have your own apartment, you got a decent ride, you got people who love you around yourself, you are living the life you love. There is no better feeling than this.
                     
*Enjoy your life before its too late. Not money, not owning a limo, can make you great. It's having a beautiful mind and living the life you wanted.

Start working on your list right now.

New Years

  I have never celebrated New Year's in my life: 24 years and not even a single year. I don’t remember doing the countdown ever in my life. I never really saw the point. Also, the timing never came right.  Arguably this might have been the most difficult year of my life to get through. It has definitely been the loneliest year. Nothing much really happened. I learned a lot of stuff, career-wise, and life-wise. Human interaction was at its lowest. I made one new friend and lost countless. But I’m sure the one I made is for life, so that’s good. I really had to throw everything in and give my absolute best to get through this year. There were days when I felt like giving everything up and going back home. I still do, some days, most days. I don’t even know what’s keeping me here.  Though sometimes I like the uncertainty I have with my life. I have never been a planner. Nothing in my life has been planned. School, college, career, friends, love, heartbreaks. Everything just happened a

Letters to Rahel - Episodes of grief

Dear Rahel, I feel like we're heading towards the end of this story. No matter how forward I look into the future, I can't see myself at peace. I am convinced that this is how it is going to go down. This feeling, this constant feeling of helplessness and chronic dissatisfaction. It is here to stay. This is how it is going to be forever. I don't feel like a real person anymore. I feel like the memory of a person, and memory's fading. Soon it'll be like I never existed.  I have been having these episodes of grief lately. Why do I call it episodes of grief you may ask. I have been having days where it feels like someone had died. It's somebody's funeral. And I sit through the day trying to figure out who had died. It sure feels like someone I knew very closely had died.  Maybe I'm dying. I feel like I've been forgetting myself lately. Like you know how you used to be friends with someone back in school. You used to tell each other everything. And now y

Mother, please come get me

I keep having this recurring nightmare, cutting myself open, with the sharpest blade. My face and my arms. It is not a pretty sight, but simultaneously so calm and soothing. I keep thinking about it throughout the day, trying to find out the meaning behind it. The visual keeps popping up in my head, how blood, red as wine kept flowing out of the slits smoothly. I tried to taste it in my dream but woke up just before I brought it to my tongue. I feel like buying a typewriter, and typing out hundreds of words, and then burning those papers. I want to write about grief. About loneliness, and the dark dampness of winter. About mothers, and fathers. About crippling anxiety, and the labyrinth of adulthood. About how your world becomes less and less wide as you grow up. About the helplessness of it all. About the hopelessness of it all. About the pointlessness of it all.  I have become emotionally numb like never before. It feels like a dam of tears spurring and stuck inside of me. Unattended
