25 things i want to do before i die

i've been putting this off for a very very long time, but finally i decided to get down to it. aditya, finally i "do" the tag, or whatever u call it.

this is in random order, not in order of preference AT ALL. i'm putting them down in the order they're striking me.

1) backpack across europe.

2) visit the louvre.

3) go bungee-jumping.

4) visit australia. have been there once but i want to go again. totally loved the place.

5) visit kashmir.

6) go to pakistan; lahore in particular.

7) attend a concert in hyde park.

8) this is sort of a sub-part of 7 but not exactly. watch the rolling stones, roger waters(i would have said pink floyd but alas), u2, aerosmith, gnr and dire straits perform live.

9) meet nitin, lead singer of parikrama!

10) make a hell lot of money. seriously.

11) go to see the taj mahal at night(they don't allow that anymore, but hey the list is of things that i WANT, not things that i want AND things that are possible).

12) MEET SHAHRUKH KHAN.

13) holiday in goa with friends.

14) WRITE A BOOK.

15) do something completely spontaenous, on the spur of the moment. and wild.

16) shop like there's no tomorrow, and no credit limit. :-p

17) go to outer space(refer to 11 for explaination).

18) take part in the delhi half-marathon(i plan to do that every year but something or the other comes up).

19) read catch-22. it is the only book which i haven't managed to complete after starting it.

20) do something brilliantly intelligent. something which will go down in history(here i go again....wishful thinking).

21) learn to fly a plane.

22) watch all the seasons of friends in one go(i might never recover from that but what the heck)

23) lose my cynicism.

24) die listening to floyd.

25) thank aditya for tagging me. and for making me dream......


okay, now i get to tag people!

Neatly done tag,

Just thought of telling you, Now it is possible to see Taj in night.
Govt of India has partly lifted the ban on few selected full moon nights, one can see Taj. :)
