20 things to do in my 20s

-
Unbelievably, I have reached my 20s! When I was younger I thought 20 was so old and people in their 20s had their lives together (when I was really young I decided I wanted to be married with kids at 21- HAHAHAHAAHAH), boy was I wrong!  People say your 20s are the most unstable years, I guess I can see why...you're trying to figure out how to adult, what you're doing in life whilst trying to balance work, relationships, etc.... I already don't like the sound of this.

 BUT, I'm optimistic for this new decade. So, on a boring train journey back to uni, I've compiled a little list of 20 things for me to do in my 20s:

 1. SKY DIVE
2. Go interailing (I know this was totally a year 11/12/13 thing to do, but I never did it)
3. Drive to/in a different country that's not India
4. Learn to code
5. Actually learn to cook something that isn't pasta or a toastie
6. Learn about the stock exchange
7. Be more inventive with my baking (but I will never abandon my chocolate orange cake- you've always been there for me)
8. Go to waayyy more concerts and festivals (already got Kendrick lined up next month;))
9. Buy and look after plants...I didn't have a good experience with my previous mini succulent #ripnanomi
10. Get into coffee (everyone in their 20s drinks coffee right?)
11. Learn to make cocktaaailllsss
12. Run a half marathon... my running cap is just over 5k, and I want to break this
13. Set foot on every continent
14. Climb a mountain (looking for volunteers to come with me)
15. ROAD TRIPS!! How have I had a car for a year and a half and still not been on a road trip that's longer than 50 miles?!
16. Make more effort to see my friends who live far away from me 
17. Take more photos.... this was my new years resolution one year, so 2014 is the only year where I have ample photos
18. Be successful in my career, wherever it takes me
19. Re-read the earliest posts on this blog and hopefully not cringe too much
20. JUST LIVE MY LIFE without feeling obliged to do something or focus on things that aren't that important to me

 Who knows if I'll have this blog when I reach my 30s to look back on this list. I really hope so, it's like a online journal of my journey from when I was 16 that I can look back on. Obviously I'm gonna cringe at some of these posts, but at least it's better than those embarrassing old photos on Facebook?? Anyway, enough of the serious stuff- I'm breaking in my 20s with some Vietnamese food and good views

The one with Friends Fest

-

Remember in secondary school when teachers made you say a 'fun fact' about yourself as an ice-breaker? Well, mine was always that I could quote any F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode. So when I managed to get Friends Fest tickets this year you can imagine how hyped I was!  It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I've been waiting for this day for years. We went to the Friends Fest in Kenington Park, London but there are locations all over the UK. The doors opened at 12 and we had a set tour at  pretty much as soon as we arrived. The set tour was probably my favourite part of the whole thing! It was 30 minutes long, with 10 minutes in each of Joey and Chandler's, Ross' and Rachel and Monica's apartments which felt surreal. I was amazed at how much detail they had put into the sets - they even filled up Joey's fridge with take away boxes. I loved seeing all the original props (including Phoebe's guitar and my personal favourite Pat the Dog). T

A Guide To Kolkata Street Food

Indian street food- delicious, quick and incredibly cheap. Need any more convincing? One of the things I most look forward to when we visit Kolkata (after seeing family of course) is the street food. There's nothing like it. Different parts of India have specialties, and here is your guide to street food in Kolkata, in the East of India. You've probably heard about food poisoning from street food (and true, I did get food poisoning this time), but in general if you follow take these precautions you should be safe. Don't ever drink water unless you've seen it's been filtered or is sealed bottled water. If you've seen Slumdog Millionaire you'll see that sometimes they put tap water into bottles and pass it off as mineral water! This applies to food as well- if there is ANY water in your street food, do not eat it If the food is on a plate that has just been washed, make sure to wipe any excess water off it so it doesn't contaminate the food Only

Bababoom, Islington London

-

As much as I love a Nandos, I'm all about experimenting with different flavours and cuisines. This weekend, I decided to branch out to an experimental Kebab place in Islington called Bababoom. It was a cosy restaurant about 5 minutes away from Highbury and Islington station. The music playing was so vibrant, and I actually found their Spotify playlist on their website which most restaurants don't do!  The menu itself was quite limited, but despite this I was still stuck between all of the choices. I ended up going for the s affron and orange chicken shish and  the Baba's fries (with house dukkah- I don't know what this actually was but it tasted amazing). The portion sizes were good and both the kebab and fries were really well spiced. I also tried the broadbean falafel with sweet potato hummus, which was so good! This was the first falafel variation I've tried and it definitely did not disappoint. The hummus was amazing as well.  I couldn
