November 2017 (Source: Google)  The first time I read about relationship goals, my instant neuron parallel connection was its eerie similarity with project management - defining milestones, working together to achieve them and voila, mission accomplished! Jokes apart, relationship goals can never be generic or standardized, but as each year passes by, its amazing how life evolves and what we discover about oneself.   So that got me thinking about the relationship goal posts for millennial dinosaurs - millennials on account of being born in the early 1980's but also termed dinosaurs on account of a host of reasons, including a) never seen an episode of GoT (gotcha.. Game of Thrones) b) not having an instagram account in this era of  finstas (fake instagram accoounts) and rinstas  (real instagram accounts, distinct and separate from finstas I am told).   Though its not a yearly list, here's our list of the top relationship goals achieved in 2017: 1.

March 2017 (Source: Google) I didn't realize how much I was propounding experiential spending theories (left, right and center it turns out) until one of my colleagues asked me the other day, "So what is the new experience you have been investing time on recently?". And my answer was 'dancing :D'. This is not the first time that I have enthusiastically undertaken such endeavors - during school I learnt Kuchipudi , and while in Chennai and Hyderabad, I attended courses in hip hop . Albeit this time around, I was keen on pursing a structured training routine, and hence enrolled in a Kathak dance academy.  As I had already learnt a different classical form, I was asked to attend classes for an initial period of three months -  the reason being that learning and unlearning a classical dance form can be quite difficult as the years progress. I acquiesced, but to be honest I couldn't envisage how something I had learnt 20 years ago could be a road
