11 Things Every Woman Should Write Down Before the Year Ends!!!!

While I lie down snuggled in my comforter coughing and waiting for the call from my doctor's for an appointment; I open FB on my cell and see Corinne's post. I always wanted to take part in the Write Tribe but I can never push myself to participate. 

This time for a change, 11 Things Every Woman Should Write Down Before the Year Ends really prompted me to move my aching limbs and muster some energy to make few thoughts process in this otherwise dead brain.

1. What Younger You Would Like About Present You

The Younger me would like the matured, responsible, more compassionate and more patient 'me' that is now. My younger me would be surprised how the conventional girl grew up to be an unconventional woman.

2. The Watched/Read It List

Watched some silly telugu movie last night. Had not been reading anything for few months. The last books I completely read was 'A Breath of Fresh Air' and 'The Mango Season' both by Amulya Malladi. I got 'The Giver' and returned it without completing. Next is 'The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate' on my list to read.

3. The Mistake You Never Want to Make

Do not share your email password. And to not repeat the mistakes made once.

4. Your Ideal Outfit

A starched cotton chudidaar or a neatly pressed formal dress to work. Why I am not wearing it right now? Because I love to be in my nighty when I am home.

5. A Deep, Dark--Shhh --Secret

When it is deep and dark, that means it is a secret. How can I disclose it? ;)

6. The Most Unexpected Compliment You Ever Got

I am a sucker for compliments. Had to crack my brain on this one. I was talking to my sister in law on the phone one day and she said, her husband wanted to talk to me once. He is like a an older brother to me. He said, "Prudhvi, I have seen that green bowl you have sent us. When I look at that thing on the table, it's amazing. You are very talented. I do not know much about art, but that is wonderful". It was a fused glass bowl.

7. That one Quote

Forgive, forget. 
Wanted to add one more. When you have it, you don't know the value of it.

8. The Best Surprise You've Ever Had

Problems are the only surprises that come in plenty for me. Had to think very hard on this one too. The best pleasant surprises are the chance encounters I had with friends.

9. Your True Happiness

Always in quest of that. Right now, it would be being hale and healthy. Have an empty house. I don't have to cook or clean. Take my favourite book, snuggle in my blankie with a bowl of snack and keep munching and reading. 

10. Your Favorite Failure

I haven't had any great successes in life. Any failure would be bitter. On much contemplation, I think my favorite failure would be failing to get a job using our contacts. No one in circles helped me find one. What I got, is my hard work and luck :)

11. An Amendment to the Bucket List

I don't have a list right now but plenty of thoughts in this restless head. Wanted to spend a part of my life with NGOs. Retire in a remote village. Something that popped up today late evening was to do M.A in English Litt. Above all, want to make peace with this life of mine.

P.s: No one tagged me, still I decided to go ahead and write this post. I hope it's okay and I am not breaking any rules. :) Thank you for inspiring, Corrine!!!
