I am a firm believer of having new, interesting experiences almost constantly throughout life.
If not experiences, what else are we living for in this life?
With a firm mindset and curiosity of new things, I have been able to identify new things to do and new experiences to have almost every other week. It is a craving, it is an addiction and get to learn more about the world around me. The thrill of discovering new things, experiencing new things and then sharing these new things to others is something I find joy in.
I hope the list below inspires people to value experiences and look forward to create & share experiences for others to enjoy.
So, let me share with you the new experiences in 2023. Most are bucketlist worthy and some not, but just an interesting experience.
- Completing the Hyderabad half marathon - 4th time. This was the hardest ever for me as I did it after a 8 year hiatus. With poor training, I somehow managed to complete it much better than expected with going to office half day after the marathon and not taking any leave the next day also. Helped in bringing a lot of self confidence in doing hard tough things. Some of the reasons I run the half marathons: to know my stamina, to develop will power to overcome barriers.
- Indoor sky diving. Gravity Zip at Hyderabad. The starting of an experience for sky diving in the future.
- Riding a bike as fast as possible - 122 km/hr. Breaking the previous record of 114 km/hr after a big break of over 7 years in the same bike as before.
- A bike tour with a gang. An interesting new experience and learnt about the various roles in a bike gang.
- Watch Maverick - one of the best movies in theater for free. An infinite returns on this one experience.
- Indoor Rock climbing - Crag studio. Never knew rock climbing is this hard.

- Foosball, 10 pins. Fun to play with family / friends
