Context: List out 5 things that can add Zest to your life.
I turn thirty soon and am not squeamish about it.
But in retrospect, there are things I would have loved to do.
But i didn't.
Because I was a BIG chicken.
Because I was a BIG chicken.
To hell with all my Inhibitions,
If
I don’t start living now, then when?
By
doing some crazy and some not so crazy things,
I
want to feel adventure, feel reckless, feel alive....
And bring back the Zest in me.
How about a nice flavor of a chocolate mud pie,
Tired of being the vanilla ol' me..

Watch
a movie and enjoy a dinner by myself.
I’ve
contemplated doing this a thousand times. But every time I picture myself
heading towards the box office, all alone and asking for a single ticket,
petrifies me. People might end up thinking that am a sadist or suicidal. So a movie by myself
would be empowering.
I need to learn "how to not give a DAMN."
I want to learn to enjoy my company. Minus the husband, the kid and the smart phone. Just me and my pizza. The best part about a dinner out alone is, I don’t even have to share the dessert...

Crash
a wedding.
Don’t
know why, but I love cheap thrills. All dolled up, I want to show up at a lavish wedding. Eat free food. Pretend I belong. Hell, if I am feeling courageous
enough I might even go up and click a selfie with the bride and the groom.
#3
Go backpacking.
Baby
steps, may be Pune. Would love to walk around the city without any agenda. Crash
at a hostel and eat at the local bakery. May be even check myself in at the Rajneesh Ashram. How about those airy
yoga pants and the mat flip-flops’?
#4
Get
drunk.
Get drunk and put up a show, may be give a couple of people a piece of my mind. But the
closest I’ve ever come to alcohol is mixing minuscule amounts with sugar laden juices.
I’ve never developed a taste for it, but I still wanna get drunk. Don’t know
how?
If only they could come up with a milkshake and alcohol concoction.

Sing
at a karaoke bar.
A
BRAN NEW DAY by STING.
You can turn the clock to zero, honeyI'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day!!!
After getting drunk I want to head to a karaoke bar and sing, STING.
I wanna sing my lungs out, while no one is judging.
And even if they are, am probably too drunk to notice.
liberation baby, LIBERATION!
liberation baby, LIBERATION!
We
are our worst enemies,
No
one has stopped me from doing anything, but myself.
Is OK not to be in control all the time,
Its
about time I learned to have
a little fun , add a little zest!
happy 30th to me ;)
