by When I was asked this question, I was left puzzled because I had never given any thought to such a scenario. I mean, there are always constraints, responsibilities and duties that tie us down but suppose, just for a minute, that I was free then what would I do?
When I got down to thinking seriously about such a scenario, I was amazed at all the things I wanted to do. There were so many things I had always thought of doing but hadn’t been able to do. This scenario would give me the perfect excuse to do them all!
If I am free with no constraints then the top five things on my bucket list will be:
1) Travelling around the world- I would love nothing better than packing a bag and travelling around the world, visiting all the places I have only seen on TV or read about and always wished to visit someday. Experiencing the culture, food and history of those places first hand would be so great and truly memorable as I am both a foodie and a history buff.
2) Going on a cruise- I have always wanted to go on a luxury cruise and feel the fresh sea breeze, watch the dolphins chasing the ship and feel the romance of being on a big ship with my husband in the middle of nowhere with only water visible as far as the eye can see!
I would watch the stars at night from the deck, feel amazed watching the big ship cutting the water to move ahead and experience the life on a ship. It would be an experience entirely new to me and I am sure one, I’ll never forget!
3) Stay in Five-star hotels- It would be so exciting to stay in five-star hotels and pamper myself to their expensive and exclusive facilities. Every dish exclusively prepared according to my taste and presented to my liking. Experiencing life like a celebrity with everything at my beck and call would be a memorable experience.
4) Learn Swimming- I feel that by not knowing how to swim, I have been missing on so much fun. I can’t participate in most water games due to my fear of drowning and have also missed out on experiencing the underwater life because of this. So I would learn how to swim if I am free of the constraints that have kept this wish from becoming a reality till now. Scuba diving is what I want to do after I learn swimming.
5) Fulfill all my parents’ wishes- My parents have always sacrificed their own dreams and aspirations for me, so I would like to fulfill all their wishes. I would buy them a house near me, take them on a vacation to Australia just like they wish to and also give them the real experience of luxury by making them travel first class, have them stay in five-star hotels, drive in the best cars and treat them to the best food.
