Goals & Aspirations

If you haven’t heard about the bucket list, it is a wish list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill and life-experiences you desire to experience before you die. A bucket list opens up your mind to set totally context-free goals where you list down anything and everything you ever wanted to do, no qualifiers needed. There is no time restraint.

So this is my list. My goals. My aspirations. Things I’d like to learn, do, achieve, finish and whatever else I desire for my life. From the big things to the small things.
