Things to do before I die


Travel alone - To Italy - Rome, Florence, Amalfi Coast; Guernsey, Machu Picchu - Peru, Iran, Japan, Angkor Wat - Cambodia, France(countryside) {Paris Done!}, Wales {Done}, Turkey, Pakistan, Moscow, Cuba, Central Asia. Leh-laddakh, North-East India.



In fact, to visit every nook and corner of my country

To stand alone at the Stonehenge.
{Done!}

To explore the ruins of Takshila and Nalanda

To plant a banyan and a mango tree. Climb a tree.

Bungee Jump (Not at crowded place. Preferably some nice, high, isolated spot :D )

Send Dad on his dream trip to Finland, get mom her dream home in Ooty. Send them both on a cruise

Study Abroad
{Done!}

Get a tattoo

Read all the books I wanted to, meant to, have to, have bought to

Tango! Twist! Jive! Salsa!!!

Dance in a disco without being self conscious

Open a bookstore (small one -Serendipity- wooden floors, glass door with a bell that rings when it opens, latticed windows)

Get a dog. Name him Jack.

Learn to swim properly (and not just "I can save myself, if I have to")

In spite of 2 sessions(almost 30 classes) of driving, don't know how to start a car. Once that's done for me, I can drive (Big Deal). So - Learn how to start a car, drive, park...the whole nine yards

Learn how to ride a motorcycle. Then buy a Harley, go to Laddakh and vroooooooom-------!!!

Ride a horse in a wild open field in the middle of nowhere

Learn a foreign language

Learn how to play the Cello

Finish learning Bharatnatyam

Make a difference in at least one child's life

To earn enough for all of the above!

Get a job i can't wait to get to every morning

Play football in the rain

Scream myself hoarse cheering for India while watching a live India vs Pakistan match

Watch a live game of Federer vs Nadal (Which Federer wins), talk to Federer, get his autograph then die and go to heaven
