Hobbies bucket list (BM #17)

A bucket list of hobbies. Not just for pursuing randomly but learning methodically. Let me come back to check if I do atleast one in 2014.

• Learn a new language. The topper in the list is always Hindi. May be Sanskrit, French, Italian are other choices.
• Know the mythology of various countries, greek myth to start with. 
• Learn a new cuisine. Italian, Mexican are the choices.
• Gardening.
• Learn drawing cartoons.

This is my current list. I feel I should revisit this more often to update(there is not even one outdoor hobby,sigh!) and to remain focused.

My 'cultural' bucket list (BM #10)

Here is my bucket list that is culturally inclined. These are mostly simple ones, unique to our culture that I shudder at the thought of being forgotten. I hope I will do atleast a few before I kick the bucket!

• Put Kolam(rangoli without the rang :-P) everyday. Its a simple one but I can give you umpteen reasons why I don't do it. Aren't they unique to our culture?
• Have a Tulsi plant in a proper Tulsi maadam(pot designed for keeping holy tulsi)
• Keep grand kolu every year :-D This one I have no problems doing except that there is some sentiment against keeping kolu in ILs family. But am slowly getting a nod for it :-)
• Visit temples that are few decades old atleast once a month!
• Celebrate every festival(there are atleast a dozen that is important in our family in a year) following the tradition(kolams, food, pooja) properly and with understanding.
• Wear the tambrahm style saree(madisar) on occasions that require it(believe me, people skip it)
• Support indigenised products - local produce, handicrafts, dolls, cloth etc(What an Irony, am saying this sitting in USA! But this is a bucket list, hmmm)

This is all I could think of now. Am sure I will be updating this list. So, what's yours?
