femme magnifique - Aneesa’s Bucket list
#to climb the Eiffel tower and renew my energy with a kiss on every floor (make every floor count while #counting every floor),
#to get married on the beach,
#to run a travel show with ‘him’,
#to own a multi regional beer parlor with indoor sports,
#to experience life in an igloo,
#to pet a tiger cub,
#to ride a horse like it was an extension of myself,
#to get stuck on an lonely island with George Clooney,
#to ride the Harley,
#to cage George Bush in the zoo,
#to get a tattoo,
#to travel every lane and by lane in Venice, hand in hand,
#to own a house by the lagoon on the bora bora islands,
#to farm on the Indian terrain,
#to survive in a jungle for a month,
#to work towards animal welfare,
#to script my movie plot and convert it into a film,
#to fly a plane,
#to ride any F1 sports car,
#to learn all the water sports there are,
#to learn Arabic and French,
#to master the piano and compose my own tunes,
#to work six months and travel the rest six months,
#to have a baby and to adopt a baby,
#to send a message in a bottle and leave it in the sea hoping to receive a reply,
#to never forget to live everyday like it was the last,
***Do go for an evening stroll, a long Coffee break or sleep over a book and come back***
And those who want their respective Bucket list to be featured over here, do write. Would love to see your Bucket list….I feel, it’s imperative for one to have a Bucket list which provides more a meaningful direction to varied struggles in life as well as a gentle nudge or reminder for one to move back into some kind of life-like rhythm.

Jyothsna ji - wow!
5 - me too! only, I would want to run a small food place myself… a little bakery… in a remote village in Europe somewhere.. and in Deutschland, preferably!
Number 6 sounds so lovely.. can I help with the reading sessions? lol..
I want to get married on the beach, too. =) And I want a tattoo.. and I want to learn Arabic, too! “Kayfa haalik?” (How are you?) is all I have mastered so far.. working six months and travelling the other six months sounds fun, too.. having a baby and adopting a baby sounds like such a lovely idea, too.. (Why didn’t I come up with any of these?! I need to stretch my imagination more damnit.. lol)
I’ve always wanted to send a message in a bottle… I might do that the next time I am by the sea…. =)
It’s nice to have dreams, isn’t it?

chup. since u asked for it…
Achievable :1,2,5 and 8
sob.sob.I deeply want them to happen: 3 and 4
Unachievable but work towards them : 6 and 9
Unchievable but no major heart-shakes or palpitations:7, 10, 11 and 12
thus diffused n diluted are my dreams
dnot smirk as u live closer to the speyside celtic land
Dear Sunrise girl,
yes, it’s a delight to have a few dreams tucked in, somehow , consciously, our systems work towards them…WE ARE NOT DAY DREAMERS OR LOTUS EATERS, but PURPOSEFUL DREAMERS, THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES, WE ARE ARMED WITH CERTAIN DEGREE OF ENTHUSIASM N ENERGY…one day, they will happen, at least of a few of them
“to get married on the beach”, “a tattoo”, “to learn Arabic”
“working six months and travelling the other six months”, “having a baby and adopting a baby” etc are my roomie’s ideas or dreams…ye, they are beautiful
write down ur dreams….now!

n I promise I will work as a waitress-cum-bakery hand in your little bakery nestled in a tiny European village

Absolutely wonderful list, thoughtfully laid out. I heard that TIBET is the most beautiful place on the earth. Ireland act sounds interesting
“die before I am too old to live”…
I get disconcerted by the whole idea of “ÄGE-STRESSED” physical condition, though the spirit/soul is being maintained youthful. I, at times, draw energy from my old parents, n other elders who try to munch over the remaining life with admirable enthusiasm.
I have this ambitious plan of killing self by 48yrs.

we need not try too hard, with the way world environment is getting depleted, i guess 50 is max survival age, soon.
@ the Cinthol, haven’t seen the vinod khanna ad, but I am sure it must have been a cult classic, this one is a refreshing help to cinthol’s image.
