Out of sheer habit of searching for all answers on Google, I typed the million $ question in the search bar "What do I want to do in life?". Google was as reliable as ever and did give me answers. Lots of them. The most interesting of the results I found was a site called 43 things. Millions of people around the world have jotted down what they want to do in life.
Inspired by this and for the lack of anything better to do, I decided to make a list of as many things as I could think about that I wanted to do with my life.
So, here goes nothing:
- Learn at least 3 Non-Indian Languages - preferably French, Latin and Spanish
- Exercise regulary and get my weight down to 55
- Learn Swimming
- Write a book
- Learn to read and write Malayalam
- Learn to play a sport - maybe tennis or batminton - professionally
- Enroll for dance lessons
- Learn to play a musical instrument - Violin
- Travel to all parts of India in the next 5 years
- Do my MBA from ISB in the next 7 years
- Pass my FRM
- Get married
- Learn to cook like Mom
- Learn to drive a car
- Buy a car
- Donate every year to a charitable cause
- Buy a house
- Get an overseas holiday trip for mom and dad at least once
- Own business suits in 7 different colours - black, blue, beige, grey, brown, black pinstripe, grey pinstripe and matching shoes
- Start gardening
- Buy property in Kerala
- Retire by 40
- Start my own business / consulting / whatever - Be my own Boss
- Have a daughter (maybe 2)
- Learn to skate
- Learn to play chess (professionally)
mmmmm ----- this has been lying as a draft for a very long time. Maybe I'm not too ambitious. Or maybe I'm not too innovative or imaginative. Anyway, I have decided that this is all I want to do in life as of now.
In future... who knows the future? But changes in life may force this list to be amended to things like I want to live, I want to be a good human being, I want to be free.......
Maybe.....
