10 Things...

-xh- tagged me to write down 10 things I miss, and 10 things I want to do within the next 10 years.

What I miss...
1- My dad!
2- Vacations with my family. We used to have at least two good trips every year
3- Leisure! There's always some chore or the other to do :(
4- Maid-service! After 11+ yrs here, I still miss that!
5- My innocence. Am glad I am more practical and all that now, but I do miss being all bhola-bhala!
6- My carefree life with my roomie and best friend...from abt 5 yrs back. We're all married and all now.

I think thats about it!

What I wanna do...
1- Grow up and not be such a baby at times (I know, its quite the opposite of "missing my innocence")
2- Learn how to balance home, work, and still make time for myself.
3- Visit Egypt
4- Be an awesome cook
5- Be more involved than I am now in community/social work
6- Have a great relationship with my in-laws (its very formal right now since I barely know them)
7- Be a good photographer
8- Write a book, dunno about what, since I can't write fiction
9- Be more social. I am always so tongue-tied.
10- Manage 10 blogs! Just kidding! 3 is good enough!


Am tagging...no one in particular.

@pavi, yep, trying to keep it realistic!

and awesome on my own terms, no one else's :) I don't want to win any cooking contest or write a book or anything, I just want to know how to make everything that I want to know how to make.

@anvita, i just miss my dad, thats about it. and the maid ;) my husband takes care of every thing when I am sick. i miss the maid more when i am just fine, but too tired to be bothered with the dishes and laundry!

**babes i just love the way u are**

@preeti, haan, woh to hai, I still have some of it left, but am not the "alice-in-wonderland" i was, say 5-6 yrs back.

@veens, hehe, i got shades of everything. I still think my dad can fix eeeevery problem i have and at the same time i think he shld let me live my life on my terms (but he shld just come and fix the things I mess up with ;)

aneri_masi said...

@xh, yeah, very attainable! I really do want to do these things, so keeping it realistic. aur book pakka tumko doongi. I just need to figure out what it'll be about :)

9- Be more social. I am always so tongue-tied.

nicely done tag! if you wanna become an awesome 'non veggie' cool, i'll shower you with encouragements and motivating speeches all the way! ;) :P

and hey, which state are you in?

Mysterious Mia said...

Awwww,a big warm hug from me to ya.

aneri_masi said...

@bw, yaar, I can write! and I can talk a lot once I know someone very well. but if i'm meeting for the first time, or if i'm not very close to that person, then i get very conscious, is my hair ok, are they laughing at me, is my neck sticking out like a camel's? and then i say nothing bcoz of this randomness going on in my head!

skeptic saint said...

wow...awesome cook...cool

and i too want to write a book...maybe it ll be easier if we co-write it...wotsay??

aneri_masi said...
