Things to do before I die...

I am all abput making lists. I make list of grocery, books, movies, and about things I need to do every day, or in the following week and so on... I watched 'Bucket list' a few months back, and while I did think it was a nice movie I guess I was touched a lot more by our own desi Dusvidaniya... I found it really sweet, very real, and at times extremely poignant and emotional...
For a long time I told myself I don't want a very long life... Thanks to a couple of friends and Hitch-hiker's guide, I decided I wanted to die at the age of 42. But then I got married... And now I want to live as long as I can with Pradeep.... He seems to have changed my entire outlook with one simple formula... His love for life and me.... While watching the movie I repeatedly felt very blessed/thankful that I met him and now we together... I guess its all about companionship... But all of us don't always find a good companion to share our pains with, right.... So I have started appreciating it a lot more....
I have made this 'Things to do before I die list' a couple of times earlier, I have it all revised now... Owing to the getting wiser bit I guess. Or the fact that now I have a person to share some of these dreams with... But here are a few things I wish to do before I finally kick the bucket... Pray for me that I manage to do at least a few...
1. Adopt a baby girl
2. Start something for the kids
3. Take our parents for a vacation somewhere exotic
4. Take up a small job somewhere and spend a couple of months. The job has to be for both of us
5. Learn atleast one other language
6. Start music lessons again
7. Adopt a couple of cats
8. Take a trip around the world
9. Become a certified scooba diver
10. Get a nice tatoo
