Things I Want To Do

Its been 6 months since my last post on this issue and here is the progress review, as promised:

1. Visit Bhutan - Remains elusive :(
2. Play Mafia with some of my old friends : Check - Thanks to an alumni trip organized by Thrillophilia to Coorg.
3. Do something with as much passion as those people at TED
4. Get a real job: Hopefully soon
5. Do pull ups: Have started to train specifically for this at the Gym now
6. Run 4 kms. in 20 mins.: I guess I should get over this now. Its becoming sort of a drag.
7. Visit to the tall crane cabins
8. Learn to dance
9. Learn to play guitar: In progress

At this juncture in my life, a lot of things seem to be linked to pt. 4. Lately, I have been trying to decouple my life with this important aspect of life. Not sure how successful I will be. In that context, I plan to review my progress of these things one month after I succeed (even partially) in pt. 4.

Things I Want to Do

I had some things in my mind that I wanted to do out of the routine and had posted them on my earlier blog here. Well I passed out of XLRI and still have most of things unchecked. But then that does not stop me from having my own set of fanciful wishes. So here's my updated "Bucket List":

1. Visit Bhutan
2. Learn Salsa - Check
3. Read Old Man and the Sea - Check
4. Play Mafia with some of my old Friends
5. Give a presentation as impressive as at TED - (Update) - Do something with as much passion as those people at TED
6. Get a real job
7. Do pull ups
8. Run 4kms. in 18 mins. - (Update) - Ok 18 mins. is overshooting, I'll settle for 20 mins. Hey come on, I have only grown older since last time.
9. Climb up those 10 storey high cranes and see the world from the controller's cabin.
10. Learn to dance - Salsa was good but I'm still in the two left foot syndrome.
11. Learn to play guitar - Yeah man, that's a really old one but this is one thing I'd really want to do. Just for the fun of it. Actually I want to learn to play piano but that does not seem to feasible so guitar is the next best instrument.

Let's see where I reach in 6 months time.
