Ten things to do before I die...

'Death' one of the most natural process of a human life is often feared by all of us. My dad says: Death is the most beautiful thing to happen. I disagree. I believe that god has given us a life and we must respect his gift by using it (not abusing it) to the fullest. Live life like as if there's no tomorrow; I have heard this for the nth time by 'n' no of people (who by the way lead the same dull life like me).

Bored of my daily routine, I decided to go and watch Dasvidaniya (a vinay pathak phillum). The film managed to make me shed some tears. why? coz i realized that I am already dead and am not enjoying anything. I get up, have breakfast, read the sad newspaper, give dad his medicines, take bath and go to office with a half latkaoed chehra, come back, have dinner and gossip with my mom (much to my dad's irritation).

Well back to the phillum, it was about a middle-aged man who is about to die in three months and he decides to do 10 things that he always wanted to do in his entire life but could not (courtesy: a mechanical life). After watching the movie...I went into a state of introspection. I wanted to make my '10 things to do before I die' list. Here it goes:

  1. I want to quit my present job and do something that I love to do the most i.e. writting crap :D
  2. I want to go to Siachen glacier once before I die. Want to know how the jawans survive in such high altitudes.
  3. I want to film a story that I had conceptualized well while sitting in the loo :P
  4. I want to sit on an elephant and sing aloud "chal chal chal mere haathi oh mere saathi"
  5. I want to gift sangi a pug (she adores that dog like anything) :)
  6. I want to take daddy and mummy to US (they are just crazy about that place, donno why)
  7. I want to buy a diamond ring for my sister in law and buy my brother tickets for a Megadeth or Metallica rock concert.
  8. I want to arrange a bachelors party+ fund a trip to Russia for one of my close friend on his b'day.
  9. I would love to adopt a girl child and mould her into a strong and beautiful woman.
  10. Lastly, I want to spend last years of my years in solitude, introspecting about what good or bad things I did. Try to undo my bad actions and continue doing good deeds.

I do not know when I would start off with my list. But surely, I will start acting on it. I don't want to ignore the beauty of life and get engrossed and tied up in the mundane activities of life. I am keen on living life like there is no tomorrow and I think I am ready for it!!!
