What is the one thing you wish you had done this year?

COOKING IT UP

I wish I learnt cooking. As a teen, I still don’t know how to cook even an easy meal, while my other mates take part in cooking competitions – and win.

Bhoomika Dutta FAMILY TIME

I wish I could set aside my priorities and spend more time hanging out with my parents.

Bavya Pressad ROUND CHAPATTIS

I wish I learnt how to make perfectly round chapattis! Jokes aside, I wish I learnt the importance of exercise and didn’t take it for granted.

Greeshma Prabhu HOME HUNT

I wish I had moved to a better home. I have been putting it off fearing the hassles of shifting.

Rajeswari REVIVING FRIENDSHIPS

One thing I had wished to do this year was to reconnect with my old friends, but sadly it couldn’t happen because of our busy schedules. We want to meet each other next year and surely that will happen.

Pranjal Agarwal POWER OF PETS

I wish I had spent more time with my canine pets. This year I lost my pet Grin. I wish I had spent more time with him.

Sunanda Mohan SOCIAL CALL

I had planned on a surprise visit to my parents in our hometown in Kerala at the end of the year. This didn’t work out due to unexpected schedule changes at work.

I still regret not planning the trip well ahead of time.

Aswany Vimal MORE ME-TIME PLEASE

I wish I’d spent more time and energy on myself; selfcare and self development. I wish I could have read more books, and relaxed a bit. Instead, I was constantly doing one task after the other, leaving me stressed and worn out.

Tara Jessica WEDDING BLISS

I wish I had attended the marriage of my youngest cousin – it officially was the last wedding of our generation. I kept procrastinating booking the flight tickets and at the last minute was unable to book because of the high price. I truly missed out on a lot of fun.

Persis Jason WANDERLUST

I wish I could have travelled to Switzerland; I have always wanted to visit Zurich, which is such a beautiful and exquisite place.

Archana Pradeep Nambiar TIME WITH DAD

I wish I had spent more time with my father who passed away two days after I met him in India.

Runji Ghate CLEARED THE AIR

I wish I had mustered courage and fought against the wrong perceptions people have about me, and made them realise that they are wrong and not me.

Sanvi Somani HELPING OUT

The one thing that I wished I could have done this year was giving a helping hand and to volunteer to help children and adults with special needs.

Vaidehi Ravindran BETTER IN CLASS

I wish I would have been more attentive in classes and regular in studies this year. Due to my negligence, I had to study extra hours during the tests. The result, I missed out on a lot of fun. I had no time for my favourite activity during Saturdays, having a refreshing swim with my brother.

Rayyan Alam YES TO YOGA

I wish I had shown more determination and commitment to my resolution of practising yoga every day.

Sheena Jishu Thomas UPBEAT THINKING

The one thing I wish I could have done this year is to be positive all the time, even through troublesome situations, because I have understood that life doesn’t always promote positive or good situations. The true goal should actually be to think positively during critical situations.

Sangeetha Nair HABIT LOG

I wish I had maintained a Weekly Habit Tracker to monitor my recurring patterns of good and bad habits. This would be a tracker to keep a tab on how often I read, drink coffee, practise a particular skill, exercise, eat healthy and journal.
