To do.

Being in college and getting halfway through, results in the whole world asking you one question.

"Bacha,what are you going to do with your life?"

Until some time ago,the only sensible thing I could say was "gak".

Recently,I watched this movie called 'Bucket list'.It's not a great movie.It's basically this cliche about two dudes who got cancer and they make a list of things to do and blah.

This got me thinking.I hate engineering.I have no preference between MBA,IAS,placement yada yada.I mean my heart does not exactly leap at the thought of any of those stuff.

One of my friends told me that I am too passionate with life and not at all practical.I agree.

So,here goes my list.

1)Skydiving,bungee jumping and para gliding.(Nope.not a rip-off from the movie.wanted to do the same for like ever.)

2)Visit Disneyland.(childhood stuff.I tend to never grow up.)

3)Write a novel and publish it.(courtesy LnD and all the noticeboard work.)

4)Stay in a luxurious hotel near a beach for like one week,get pampered. :D

5)Become an astronaut.(for zero-g and that cool view of earth)

6)Build up a small business enterprise and when it becomes too big,get out with fair remunerations ;)

7)Be the coolest dad to my kids.(put into my head by this series called 'Castle')

8)Have sex in all the wild positions described by kamasutra(too much of porn,I think)

9)Publish a thesis.(tada...yeah and to fall in love with and study something,that is not a college course)

10)Fall in love and marry a hawt,attitude girl with the right kinda heart(Mushiness.This reminds me so much of the crap I told on stage for first year debutante)

11)Get totally wasted for one week in a row.(This one's easy considering the college I am in.:D)

12)Learn to fly a biplane.(It has an open cockpit.)

13)Construct a remote controlled toy helicopter(Well,I ended up in B.Tech electronics and so.;))

14)Climb Mt.Everest.(Bucket list copy-paste 1 :D)

15)Help a complete stranger.Make him smile(Bucket list copy-paste 2.Another thing that I can do easily and have like kept on procrastinating all throughout my life...will do,one day....;))

16)Make an awesome speech in the United Nations and get a standing ovation.(I don't even know where that came up from.)

17)Get my name into the Guinness book of Records.(Yeah.seriously.)

18)See a World Cup final in India,live inside the stadium with,India participating.(I missed the chance recently and I do have an idea of what I missed.So,that's why.)

19)Attend a College Re-union after like 25 years.It would be funny.very funny.

20)Ditto with school.

21)[Certain childhood promises. ;)]

22)Surprise my Dad,Mom and Sissy.This one moment for which they'll be like "oh-shit-he-did-that-for-us!"

23)Wander for like 20-something years all over the world and then finally settle in Trivandrum.And Reconnect. :)

24)This guy,my Physics tuition teacher has Parkinson's disease.He basically caught this scruffy kid and made him sit and study at like the last moment.Now,the interesting part is when I finally sat and studied,I did it for the love of it.Not for the sake of a degree or entrance.I kinda want to do that for the rest of my life.I want to give back to him,what he gave to me.

25)And,when I finally sign-off,I want to sign off bloody well.Leave footprints in concrete.Tonnes of memories.Be terribly missed.

So,I don't even know whether I am actually going to complete this list ever.But,if somebody asks me what I wish to do with my life, atleast I have an answer.

And besides,what's there in life if you don't go chase all the nutcrack things your brain cooks up?eh
