25 Things that Every Person Should Do!

1. Read. Read a lot.

2. Write. Write everything. Write about every moment that you experience, write about every memory that is awesome, write about every moment that is not-so-awesome, write till you are lost in your words. Write till you are exhausted. Write till you know you cannot write anymore

Or even better, write a book.

3. Travel. Maintain a journal. Write down everything. Take pictures. Make memories.

4. Fall in love. 

5. Get hurt. Fall apart. Cry out loud. Push everything away. Make yourself numb and immune to all the crap happening around you.

Experience the pain. And write down how it feels! No, really.

6. Write a song. Compose it. Refrain from singing it out loud. Or may be, you should just sing. You never know!

7. Go on a sabbatical.

8. Take a break from Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Quora, Whatsapp, and of course, your mobile phone. It is easy. Try it.

9. Sleep a lot. Take a break from work and sleep for 48 hours straight. You know how awesome it feels?

10. Eat.A.Lot.

11. Sleep under the stars with your friends.

12. Wake up early in the morning and let the sun-rays play on the face of your loved one. Well, do you need anything more than such a beautiful sight? No, you do not!

13. Make a difference.

14. Spend a day eating a yummy chocolate cake and try not to feel guilty about the calories and all.

15. Go back-packing. Alone! Yes.

16. Quit your job. Find a job you love the most.

17. Spend all your money. Be broke.

18. Learn something new each day.

19. Slap all those idiots who ask you to 'move on.' It is so easy for people to say that. Obviously! They do not put themselves in your shoes and think, right? And if you have ever asked someone to move on..well, you know whom to slap first!

20. Talk about yourself to a stranger and let him judge you. Brutally!

And accept the criticism. Or the good stuff. ;)

21. Make promises. And promise yourself that you will fulfill every promise. After all, promises are meant to be fulfilled, isn't it?

22. Take a leap of faith and do the things that you badly want to do in spite of knowing and sensing the repercussions.

23. Shop till you drop.

24. Figure out what you need. Figure out what you want. Make a plan and make sure that everything happens according to your plan.

Make every effort to get what you want. What is the use of making plans and all when you cannot fight to achieve them?

25. Make some friends who love you. Love them back and do everything to make them happy.

Things We Realize When We Cross Twenty

And there are just too many things, right?

But hey, we do have the best ones-yes, the miserable ones.

1) We love the job that pays us less. And we are scared of taking up that job. We have needs, and expenses, don't we? We all want a swanky iPhone, an even swankier car (A Beetle, in my case), an obscene amount of bank balance, and well, the list continues.

(But let me warn you, you find no happiness in spite of having all these days and you realize that when you are twenty-five.)

2) We do not give a damn to the rumours anymore. Likewise, we do not gossip anymore. Yeah yeah, we definitely do miss those days of gossip, but then, who cares? 

I realized this two days back. I had a sleepover with my best-friend. And we did not gossip. Not even a tiny bit. 

3) College is not so bad and college friends can be very smashing. It is just that you do not know that they are smashing when they are with you. I have realized it post-college and not bad, I am having fun. :-D

4) We start valuing things, we start appreciating all the little things. And few things can you make you nostalgic. Like, very nostalgic!

The songs on radio, the road-side kiosks, the dingy college canteens, a random picture.

5) We talk a lot when we were in grad school. But once you are done with college, you either join a job, or the few lucky ones get into IIMs and other ivy league colleges.

Either ways, you find it difficult to make conversations. Yes, it is cent percent true! (It happens with many people. Your best friends are the ones you make in schools and college and pull them life-long.)

6) We want to go back to the college. 

7) We realize that we need to pick out the weeds and live with the flowers. No more drama! We need peace, we need happiness. This, you learn from this song.

Kelly Clarkson's awesome song 

I love Kelly! :-)

8) We do not hate people. We always love to meet people from our teens, even those whom we hated back then in college. Hating seems so old school! 

9) The major thing that we realize is: Pictures are the most important part of our lives. They are the testament to everything you do. Time flies, people change, we change for better or for worse, but pictures remain to be same. Well, according to me, a life without pictures has such a big void and frankly, nothing can fill it up.

10) We realize that we have been stupid. And idiotic!
