- Master at least one dance style and stop embarrassing myself in a dance floor
- Publish a book (my new year resolution for every year)
- Complete a marathon run (no, half marathon doesn’t count)

- Learn flying – get a Private Pilot license
PS – the list is still in making. And ofcourse I do want to travel and have my passport stamped in all 193 countries in the world – but not planning for it now
