Bhandardara Lakeside camping

February 04, 2019 2 Comments
Life is better when you add fresh air, a warm campfire, bright stars and lake besides 😊 That's how my weekend was!

Long due wish of mine on my bucket list is finally achieved! And it was going for camping. I had been to Bhandardara Lakeside camping over the weekend organized by Yatrik - The Wanderer. The excitement level was at peak after hearing from number of experiences, stories of friends and colleagues. I also did my research to ensure, I'm all set for campaign. I also created a checklist to make sure that I'm carrying all that is needed for this memorable moment.

Boating
It was wonderful experience. The travel time from Kasara Station to the camping point was little hectic and around 2 hours of journey. In case, you are not very comfortable with the rides, then carry some medicines to avoid vomiting. We heaved a sigh of relief once we reached the camping site. Like  I mentioned earlier, they had lot of games, we played Volley ball, Badminton, Ludo and cricket too. We also sat near the lake for a while which was at a walk-able distance.  The organizers ensured everything was taken care of from evening to tea to dinner & then breakfast in the morning. The most concerning thing for me would be the washrooms and I was happy that inspite of so many people still it was clean.Though it was at a distance where one had to walk up away from the camping site. Food was also good.

Camping night
It was super-cold. The most amazing time was at night, before the camp fire, below the stars and in between known & unknown people. It was that moment when one could truly become philosophical and think about life! The next moment was the early morning sunrise near the lakeside. How I wish I could stop time right there but unfortunately that's something which I could just wish. All these beautiful memories will be cherished for life! I would definitely recommend everyone to experience this once in their lifetime. I can go on and on but still the experience cannot be explained in words.

Feel free to share my posts, page with your family, friends, relatives to share such wonderful experiences through food, places or thoughts 😇 Thank you all!

Bucket List

June 17, 2018 2 Comments
Do you have a bucket list? I'm sure you would be having one but never realized, it is called bucket list. Let me make it easier by calling it as your wish list. If you don't have it then I urge you to have one.

Bucket List
What is a Bucket List?
Before that let me tell you what is a Bucket List? Bucket List is anything & everything that you wish to do before you die. It could "a dream that you wish to fulfill, a goal that you want to achieve or a life experience that you wish to experience before you die."

These days people do give it a lot of importance as 'Life is so unpredictable', you are clueless what is going to happen next. You never know while you were working so hard, day in and out assuming you have the rest of the life to do what you want but unfortunately that's not possible anymore. Just like the characters from the novel 'Fault in our stars' who are diagnosed with Cancer and are about to die, we don't know what future holds for us.
So, why not achieve, fulfill what you desire? I too have my bucket list which I almost completed and left it due to the busy life.

Inspiration - Marathi movie Bucket List
Only after watching Bollywood's evergreen beauty Madhuri Dixit's debut Marathi movie Bucket List on how a 40-year old woman who takes the task of checking off the wish-list of a teenaged heart donor, I realized how important it is to have a bucket list. The movie revolves around her adventures-turned-misadventures journey where her choices defines a newer version of her. You should definitely watch this movie for it's sheer meaning in a simple way. I have again shifted my attention towards my bucket list and have decided to add few things and started working towards fulfilling it. It could be big or small,  it all depends on you as it's your list. You could also have a couple or family bucket list.

Making a bucket list
Few things that I had in my bucket list as a teenager were -
✔️ Going for a night out to a friend's place (as my mom still is against it but somehow managed to go to one of my girl friend's house 😛)
✔️ Visiting a place where there's snow (went to Manali for my college Industrial Visit)
✔️ Clubbing
✔️ Celebrating my birthday in GOA
✔️ Buying a scooty for my 21st birthday
✔️ Scuba diving so on and so forth

Happily completed the above ones & now I have  another one 😄 You can create yours as well. Let me help you with few -
  • Travelling to a foreign country (as it is cheaper these days & like I always say you should travel, it is a wonderful experience)
  • Learning something new that you always wished for but never gave it a thought (dancing, singing, baking, learning a new language..)
  • Some experiences (scuba diving, parasailing, sky diving or any kind of sport)
  • Helping someone in need
Psychologists also suggest that you should have a bucket list. 

Psychology also favors having bucket list
How to make a bucket list?
You can also ask yourself few questions like 

"What if I were to die tomorrow? What would I wish to do before I die?"

and your list would be ready. This would also help you in discovering yourself - a new you :) Take a pen and a paper, start writing!
