My bucket list in Europe...

Well.. was just thinking what are the things I would love to do / explore while in Europe -

1. Skiing on Alps.... the feeling of gliding down the mountain side is a dream come true sort of experience.

2. Full road trip around Europe....

3. Explore Rome. Istanbul (Constantinople). birthplace of Roman Empire and Byzantium - East Roman Empire...

4. Explore London. Visit the museums.. Big Ben.. Thames... Sherlock Holmes No 221b Baker street.. London Eye.. Westminster Abey.. Windsor.. The globe..

5. Explore Berlin.. Third Reich.. Berlin wall... Cycle around and while away basking in the historic city..

Well... those according to me would be the top 5 things to do!

The next 5 places (cannot think of things.. so changing it to places) to go would be -
6. Paris
7. Prague
8. Munich
9. Amsterdam
10. Athens..

New year resolutions and more..

New year resolutions are going out of fashion.. I know :-) ; but, ever since I was a small kid - its been a kinda yearly routine to have 2-3 things written down which I really want to get done through the year.

What does 2012 hold for me...

Frankly I have no idea.. but, what 'I' personally want to do in 2012 are as follows-

1. Learn German. I have come to know that I can never be fluent in languages (you see when I speak my national language - Hindi, one can easily see a gentle smile come up.. I learnt that language for years in school and still don't get it right)... But, atleast I want to try.

2. Write. I have seen that over past few years - my ability to put pen on paper has almost diminished to a fault. I really would like that habit back..!

3. Get smart at compartmentalization. The ability to focus and de-focus. At the moment I think this has become a concern area... could soon burn-out with just work taking up 80% of all thinking time..

4. Focus. Focus. Focus. Few items to think and execute... and try to do an extraordinarily good job of it.. 

Let's see if I can stick to these!

Ciao till next time...Harsha
