There aint too many books or movies that I have come across, which do a good job at handling the subject of death. And when you come to think of it, its really funny. I mean, here we have something that is inevitable, as certain as Life itself, or maybe more so, and yet, so few even make an effort to understand it, or atleast accept it with dignity. But after watching Bucket List, I realised, there was another thing, which no one does. And that was, to make death a Celebration of the human spirit.
Inspired by the movie, I decided to make my own bucket list. I have stuck it as a Post It on my homepage (iGoogle), and thought about making it public here as well. At the end of my life, whenever that might be, I would atleast have some sort of a yardstick, to measure the futility of it all, I guess... ;)
1. Have a pet dog,
2. Own a Porsche,
3. Go to the Andamans,
4. Have a villa in Pondicherry,
5. Get a tattoo,
6. Grow long hair,
7. Send Madhu Pintu on a World Cruise,
8. Kiss the girl who brings a smile to my face,
9. Go sky diving,
10. Own a Bose Sound System,
11. Swim with the dolphins

wow! cool one! you already did the long hair thing, didnt you?
im going to make my own bucket list and put it up on my blog...i know, you'll be biting ur nails in anticipation...bat thoda patience seekho beta!
Am leaving a comment on demand;)
1 - Get atop Mount Fuji with Humpty. Or at least try to cos I know I'm gonna give up at the bottom of the volcano, itself. (Am not sure if "bottom" is the right word to use.)
2 - Go on a trip with Vibha, just the two of us. No boys allowed...
(Don't think my sister is gonna be "granted" permission.)
3 - Check out F1 in Italy. Alrite, Malaysia would do.
4 - Wine tasting with my boy...
5 - Would wanna send my folks on some kinda trip. Quite sure my Mum is ever gonna be game, though.
6 - I wanna win the "Yummy Mummy" award.
7 - On a funny note, would want at least one love note from Humpty.
Note that it is "note" and not letter. That would be asking for too much.
No ya, there are loads of things I wanna do. But most of them ain't
that big that I would wanna focus my life's energies on it and wait
till I'm on my deathbed to be done with them. They seem trivial to
me, like most of those in the fake list of mine...
PS - This is one blog of yours that made total sense to me... Yet, I can't think of my bucket list... But, it got me thinking at least about a coupla things and made me realize that I'm not messed up beyond repair sorts. Ye ye ye:)
What happened to the pink? :D
Have you heard of http://www.43things.com?
This is what Champu (http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=295970544632219085) had to say :
Only if our other folks out here are not pissed with the comments on ur not sweet but pervert thinking posts, maybe I can post my expert comments here as well.
Wondering, that ur posts are called “pervert”, they surely are mate, it makes me think is all possible directionsJ
Well, ur bucket list doesn’t seem to be that difficult to fulfill.
Have a pet dog - Get a WifeJ, why can only women get husbands (men are famously known as DOGS) J, we can get a bitch too. Lol.
Own a Porsche – Get a Rich Bitch, You would not only get a Porsche, but a Ferrari tooJ
Go to the Andamans – Y do you always need to have something or the other related to the word “Man” J - as in Anda”man”. Women aren’t that bad
Have a villa in Pondicherry – I had heard it somewhere that a man makes a villa/guest house in hill stations and all to enter in the NO Entry Zone. Gr8 going mate ;-)
5. Get a tattoo – Ya get one, I actually wanna see, what would u wear and dance to display ur tattoo, just as in the famous “kaata laga” song in which guess one of our batch mates Shefali Zeriwala had danced, with some really really sweet outfit ;-)
6. Grow long hair – Never do that, you don’t want ur girl to have scissors in her hand, never trust them. Would get a reason to have scissors in her hand to cut ur hair, n might end up with something else ;-)
7. Send Madhu Pintu on a World Cruise – Guess, ur talking abt ur parents; so no comments; I’m not that bad. Lol.
8. Kiss the girl who brings a smile to my face – Alright, this is the best one. U would never smile, unless u kiss a girl. Hehe. So your point should had been, Kiss the Girl, and she would make me smile J
9. Go sky diving – You don’t need to do that. Kiss the girl and tell her, u ain’t that good. She herself would throw u off the cliffJ
10. Own a Bose Sound System – Again, get a wife, but the only problem being, u won’t have her remoteJ
11. Swim with the dolphins – U mean swim with doll-phirangs??? (phirang = foreigner, just for our aam jantaJ ). That sounds good ;-)
U surely, not gonna ask for my expert comments again ;-)
Astala’vista guys…
