Just baked.. a cookie of thought ! :)

Here's to the start of another new year ! 2014 !

So last night while I was toying around with the idea of a new year resolution, which I do every year and hardly remember it till February,  a sudden realization dawned upon me. I am turning 25 this year !

WHOA ! when did I grow up ? It seems time just flew by. I still remember the colorful and vivid details of my childhood. School, high school, graduation, post graduation.. each phase seems like yesterday only. Cant believe that I am turning 25. 

My journey till date has been pretty much filmy.

I have my own share of good times and bad times. Bad times on a larger scale though. Ups and downs. Some days I was the hot topic of hostel gossips and some days I was the subject of envy. Was appreciated for my academic accolades,  and sometimes became the controversy queen. 

Lived every bit of student life. Won the Best ALL ROUNDER award in school and college, always among the toppers, Best House captain, Sports Champion, seminar secy, Miss Fresher !

Worked non stop, Studied, performed, organised functions, arranged trips, danced, sang, won debates.. and hearts of many ! 

Went on amazing trips with friends ! bitched about bitches ! got slush drunk in hostel ! bunked classes ! shopped crazily ! danced in rain ! Rode bike in hot pants ! tried every new food joint ! painted the town red !

Ahh ! And boys ! had a huge fan base ! had crushes too ! went on dates ! fell in love ! neck deep in romance ! made out ! broke up ! a few times actually ! moments of ecstasy, moments of grief.. laughed as well as cried..The search for the ultimate one is still on ;)

Basically I did everything. Recently, made my way to the prestigious  'IIT BOMBAY' ( yeah, i'm a research scholar there ).  So what's missing ? Why the idea of turning 25 is freaking me out ? More because, I am the person who believes in the beauty and grace of growing up. It took me hardly a few minutes to get my hands on the answer. Whatever I did till date was more within the safe and sane boundaries of student life. Never did something crazy enough which I could look back upon, nothing which would race my pulse, make me shit my pants, make me close my eyes and scream loud ! THE moments are missing ! A few days down the lane, I'm gonna be on the wrong side of 25 ! And the usual career cum marriage wala headache raising it's head now and then ! I need to get out and GO CRAZY ! 

So before I become a responsible Economist ( yaa that's my field ) / or become aunty, chachi and maami to little kids, I need to push my own boundaries and wear my heart on my shoes ! In short, make this year the most crazy yet fun year of my life ! Try something which I never dared to ! So to start with a bucket list for 2014.......... Here we go,
