Of Whims and Fantasies
THE LIST
At some point in life everybody makes or at least thinks about “THE LIST”. The list is basically things that you want to do in life but have taken a rain check coz of other ‘Priorities’ in life. Now most people have an age limit as in by the time they reach a particular age they want to do x and x and so on. Now my list I have no age limit coz that just gets depressing if you don’t make it. So I’m spreading the time line across my life span 
. Will do it someday, why add pressure. The list also has stuff I will not be able to do but it’s still a part of it. A few things might seem juvenile too. Well I didn’t just make these up and can trace a few of them back to my wonder years. Also its not like I want to land on moon or anything just small things in life. Am I hitting mid life crisis. Naah not just yet !!
So here goes nothing….. in random order
1. Getting a permanent tattoo
This piece of art now adorns my arm
Well I managed to get this done so can gladly cross this off my list This is one of those spontaneous, in the spur of the moment kind of things that you do. Well I like it and I don’t have hepatitis B or C , so no regrets.
2. Learning Salsa
My all time favorite of all dance forms. Now this Cuban dance cannot get any more beautiful, graceful, soulful not to mention sexy. And yes I aim to learn this someday.
3. Working with the underprivileged or disabled
Not to sound pompous in any way, but deep down I really want to do this and of late this feeling’s getting a lot stronger. So I’m thinking this will happen very soon in the near future.
4. Learning a musical instrument
Oh wow how often I would’ve dreamt of this. I need to learn some musical instrument, any musical instrument for that matter. In order of my fav 1) The guitar 2) The drums 3) The piano
5. Riding an Orca
This obsession started with the release of Free Willy and soon phased out after Free Willy 2. I used to dream of having my very own Keiko. As of today this is a definate NO after reading about the trainer killed at Sea World 
6. Swimming with Dolphins
Now this is something I really want to do and someday will surely do whether its in Hawaii, Mexico or the Caribbean.
7. Rearing pet lions
This till date is still one of my dreams. To have pet lion cubs and play around with the biggies as they grow. And not to mention show off a teeny weeny bit 
. Yeah right I know what you’re thinking and that’s exactly why I envy Kevin Richardson.
8. Globe Trotting
This is on my A List. There are a bunch of places I just have to go visit. Will put a detailed post about it later. This can be planned well too I think. Now if only I get loads of cash to make this happen.
9. Singing on stage with Bryan Adams
This I can confidently say that all those who heard me sing karaoke wish that it never comes true. Some dreams and meant to be dreams.
10. Adventure Sports
Always have had a fancy for these, be it para gliding, para sailing, river rafting, reverse bungee, water skiing, motor boat riding…. well this can go on. I did manage to go para sailing and motor boat riding in Goa so at least that’s two down.
This was just exhilarating !
11. Horse riding
Successfully managed to do this as well I’m grinning coz I didn’t want to just sit on the horse where he just trots around. I wanted him running or at least galloping. And it was so much fun, leaves quite a few body parts extremely sore but WOW ! These beauties are magnificent !
Oh btw meet Sunny !
Well I’m sure there’ll be a lot more to add to this list. But this should do for now
