I am not a fan of dreaming but staunch followers of believing my dreams. I believe in my visualization and converting my dreams into reality. I often come across people who say they are tired of life. On the other hand, I meet these zealous people who just can't enough of life. I am amazed with the later seeing their excitement and determination towards life.
Once I met this old gentleman, in his 90s, who told me how he still has a lot of things to fulfill in life. He went on to show me his unchecked bucket-list. Yes, you read it right - He was in his 90s.
It is with these kind of people that one is forced to contemplate one's life. Where am I heading? Am I living my seconds and minutes completely? While we are all busy racing in the world of rats, being one ourselves, we often forget our dreams, and aspirations; those few things that are very much like 'food' for our soul.
What does my soul crave for? Here is my bucket list:
1. I want to go on a world tour
Something very mainstream but equally attractive, yes, I wish to go on a world tour - alone. I am recently back from a holiday where I went alone but returned with a bus full of amazing friends. I am not very sure if this would have been possible had I gone with my family or friends. I wish to explore the unexplored. Those cranky lanes to wide and huge mountains - everything about this creation.
2. I want to write stories
I wish to write stories. Stories of every single person I meet - their dreams, their aspirations and their endeavors. I wish to put them in words and publish them to the world. I wish to create a human census of this world. I want to write poetry of beauty and pain, love and happiness. I want my words to resonate with every heart.

3. I want to create
I want to create a child and nurture him/her. I want to rejoice this one amazing power that I am blessed with. Giving birth to a soul. I know this is too awkward for a 20 something to add to the bucket-list, but that's there! I wish to nurture a baby and a plant, protect them and let them be free. I wish to give this world one amazing being.
4. I want to lose weight
Weight is one thing which, when I lose, I will win. My body-weight has been my constant factor for my negative body image. Even though I may go on defending how I am least concerned about how I look, but I am always concerned about the way I feel - And I feel fat. I wish to live a healthier and an easier life.
5. I want to owe a pet 
I want to owe a pet - who loves me more than anyone can. I want a being to love me unconditionally and be loyal to me no matter what.
