Aashayein

It has been quite sometime that I wanted to scribble something, I really could not find a topic. Hence, this one.

Its been one of the best phases of life (after that dream period Post PUC before engineering). I have been really enjoying this period of joblessness combined with hope of future being bright.

In the last few weeks joblessness has reached such extremes. I have been watching all the movies on youtube. The other day I ended up watching a Aftab Shivdasani movie (that's limit right). However, this post is dedicated to couple of movies Aashayein and Bucket List. For some reason these movies made me realize how lucky I am or blessed if we could call it.

I was thinking what would I like to do if I would be certified that I have only a few days left. Ironically, I probably would not want to do anything that I am currently doing. So I thought I should make a list just in case.

  • Propose to a pretty girl in a very romantic setting. (Even if I would know a denial from her. Well the list is for my happiness not hers :)) The place can be a beach, exuberant hotel something dramatic.
  • Earn $1000 with out using anything on my resume. (Funnily, as I write this I am packing to leave to an interview with a huge company).
  • Do one painting of my own on 3 X 5 ft canvas.
  • Learn to play one song on any instrument. (Can be the birthday song on keyboard.)
  • Take an autograph from a celebrity. (Would be great if its Rahul Dravid or may be Lance Armstrong or Yuvraj Singh if the reason is cancer).
  • Canter a horse one last time.
  • Read 100 books. Visit 100 new places.
  • Lastly I would like to spend a week of perfect joblessness like now. (Just that there will be no hope this time).
P.S : I probably will never do any of these unless a professional doctor certifies that I only have a few days left. (Anything less than a year is considered few). For when you do not know the end the goals are completely different.

P.P.S : I took less than 5 mins to type this post. If I thought more I am sure I would have more cravings. These were the first things that came to my mind when I decided to write a post.

Sorry about the gloomy post but I had to do this. Mostly for myself.

Cheers,
Sri!!
