I am an eternal optimistic romantic at heart. There is this insatiable
restlessness in me I find difficult to control emanating from the desire to
experience the world. There are many things which can trigger this wave of
energy for me, drifting me like a kite with no strings!
It is difficult to quantify all of these, but following is a short bucket list of things which will always make me hop, jump and scream with excitement!

It is difficult to quantify all of these, but following is a short bucket list of things which will always make me hop, jump and scream with excitement!
#1. My two kids running around
Number one in my list is watching my 2 kids - my darling daughter
and my hubby ;) - running around. Seeing them playing with each other and
getting excited at re-discovering little joys of life makes me wanna do the
same - always!
#2. My husband's culinary experiments
This one is a secret. My hubby has a flair for cooking. But he
does not like to follow a particular recipe. Instead, he picks, chooses and
edits and adds interesting flavors and aromas to everything he cooks! And when he
does, it just fills me with immense happiness (and my stomach with a wonderful
meal). (Sometimes a disaster and tragedy in kitchen and a trip to nearby Pizza
place - but shhh :D)
#3. Onward Travel
They say that our best journeys are those one towards our home.
For me, I love the going part. The pandemonium of travelling, the preparation,
the packing, the cab to airport, the flight, the sight-seeing, meeting lovely
people, making wonderful memories - the very idea of all this fills me with
euphoria which I possibly cannot describe in mere words. All such trips add to
lifetime memories and experiences that cannot be taken away or destroyed.
#4. Fridays
I just said onward travel - there is one exception. The idea of
travelling back to home after a short day at work on a Friday evening is
a return journey I always cherish ;) I feel like a kid on a vacation though
only for two days but who cares. Friday comes every 7 days. It means more
sleep, movies, reading, lazing, cooking, painting, dancing, singing… my list is endless. Oh! I just love Fridays.
#5. Long drive on a scenic route, beautiful weather, good road and
no traffic
I love driving. I have earned that love by not giving up on
learning how to drive till I succeeded. So I enjoy every moment of my drive
even in traffic. But a long drive on a good road, without traffic and a smooth
car is definitely desirable. And if a Friday ends up in a impromptu trip to
someplace scenic with my family with a great weather to match with, breeze
flowing through my hair - and myself in a driving seat of a powerful car - need
I ask more for a Zestful life! vroom, vrooom, vroooom!

The first four are obviously good and valid for me too :) The fifth point is also true and valid to me, up to an extent, but since I don't have any vehicle and I don't drive too, so I prefer traveling over this point :)
