On a warm Sep 17th 2012 at around noon..a ping on my gtalk popped up a message
Prashanth Kishan : Coming soon... my bucket list of101 things to do before I die :) in a blog near you :-)
I read the list, and complimented him, in turn he encouraged me saying "Thanks Sri. I seriously plan to complete everything on the list :) and Cant wait to see yours!
Life is like a computer..always there is a login and log off session. login happens when our parents are typing the password for our life, and when we forget our password...shutdown session begins. Between this brief session there are innumerable files, applications and so on which needs to be listed, attended, saved, and also some of them to be deleted from the system to have a meaningful programmed software in our hardware.
When this knot struck my mind, and encouraged by Prashanth, I didn't had too many choices than listing out my steps to be climbed before nose diving in to the eternal world.
Many thanks to Prashanth, who triggered my habit of listing out the things for my life!!!

Great compilation Sri. Love the intro and the content after that is equally wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading through your list, Im kicking myself for not having being more innovative and creative with my list. Totally Jealous of what you have put up here.
Im sure they are all achievable except of course No.99, which Im pretty sure no one can achieve it in their lifetime (especially since "Major" is a relative word with varied perceptions).
Also waiting to see who all you can drag-in to make their list :)
Great work Sri. And Good Luck achieving it :)
