Bucket List

The Bucket List is a wish list of things to do before one dies. It is inspired by a movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman who are both terminally ill when they hit the road to live their last days in fun and fulfillment rather than in a dull ward. Here is my list-

1. Attend a live concert of Trans Siberian Orchestra. Complete with the pyrotechnic displays and the whole instrumental range
2. Live in Ladakh, in a place like Shey Valley. With nothing but the snow capped mountains, wind blown pines, translucent blue streams and the peaceful stupas around you.
3. Learn to converse in Spanish, Italian, French and Urdu.
4. Learn the Viennese waltz. In all its tragic beauty and flawless grace.
5. Create, design. Something, that will blow my mind off
6. Read the Quran. Entirely, honestly
7. Have my own chestnut brown horse. Name it Firenze. Ride it over open fields. Run with the wind
8. Visit Kashmir. Take in the beauty of its gardens, lakes, mountains, streams, rocks, people. Beauty long gone they say. Perhaps, and perhaps not.
9. Watch a tiger in the open forest; as it lives its life, hunts, kills, drinks, lazes around.
10. Read the entire collection of Frederick Forsyth. Live the exciting and aspirational life of a virtual spy.
11. Play all of Beethoven on the piano. Love and sweetness to me.
