35 Things I want To Do Before I Die

Today is the last day of my work at Jalgaon. I have to stay in office till 11. My boss has told me to do a couple of things, but I don’t feel like doing them. I was flicking through a blog and found a post called ‘100 things I want to do before I die’. I also decided to make such a list. So here goes.

1. Work in the Sports field even if for a little time.
2. Go to England to watch a Manchester United game at Old Trafford.
3. Go and watch a whole Football WC, living on the streets and carrying only a backpack just like a hippie.
4. Go to every state in India. (Thanks to Marico, I have able to achieve this goal to some extent)
5. Go to Europe in the winter when it is snowing. (I know it is a 90’s Bollywood cliché, but still.)
6. Go live a year alone in my Tharavadu in Alapuzha.
