Things I keep telling myself I need to do:
- Get a job that involves travel, a lot of it.
- Never have to return to India except on tours and visits.
- Find a country where I can stay in peace and start life afresh.
- I don’t want to be a good girl and never ‘finish’! (*Edited because Mom does not approve of my original statement.)
- Realize that sex is, after all, overrated (*Edited for the same reason as # 4).
- Paint and sell at least one of my paintings.
- Write anything and everything that comes to my mind on this blog without bothering about consequences.
- Avoid getting my heart torn to shreds or tossed aside without a second glance or thought.
- Stop being emotionally involved in relationships. Two heartbreaks… love is overrated too!
- Befriend Johnny Depp.
- See if I can disregard # 9 for him.
- Rent a car… drive around the European countryside.
- Splurge on Christian Louboutins… luxury for my feet.
- Live in a library.
- Get a good architect to design a cliff-side house and design its interiors.
- Live in it for a while and come back to my senses.
- Drive a Veyron.
- Get an Italian to give me a ride in his Lamborghini… this time take up his ‘offer’!
- Sleep on a beach at night.
- Skydive.
- Scuba dive.
- Visit Africa… get a brave fellow to take me out on a hunt…. Alone.
- Have 'fun' in a pyramid or on the sand dunes of the Sahara under the moonlight. Refer # 10.
- Take a hike through jungles of the Congo… and pretend I am an explorer.
- Eat the local street food at the places I visit.
- Stay at some of the top hotels in the world… a night at least.
- Visit as many amusement parks as I can. Ride in as many rides as I can stomach.
- Learn to bake.
- Visit an 'exotic' pub… alone… stay till the last performance for the day is over.
- Live in a loft or pent-house of a really tall skyscraper for a year (or for one full cycle of seasons.)
- Learn Ikebana
- Sing, record my renditions, play them loud and scare the neighbors.
- Own a huge collection of perfumes.
- Own a huge collection of books. And shoes. And bags. And earrings!
- Learn to sail.
- Speak Spanish like a senorita.
- Stargaze.
- Watch a live F1 race.
- Have a fist fight with someone.
- Go on a long cruise.
Well, even at my age I have had to edit the post because it offended my parents... So much for # 7. And I am compelled to add...
- Die, at least, without requiring my parents' permission.
In no particular order, these are some of the things which
would make me feel alive. And I know I should begin ticking them before life
runs out.
