Eight things I want to do before I die

1. Be a computer scientist. Save the world, one line of code at a time.

2. Learn to play top ten rock guitar riffs, learn piano
3. Work for the Indian administration.
4. Watch Coldplay, U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, or Jason Mraz play live.

5. Travel around the world, talking to the natives and eating local food.

6. Make money. Adopt a baby boy from Darfur, Somalia or any place for that matter.

7. Attain nirvana and contribute to humanity.

8. Marry an intelligent, funny, good-looking man and make babies.

Eight things I’m passionate about

1. Learning.

2. Living in different cultures.

3. Making a difference and doing good to humanity.

4. Being funny.

5. Loving my friends and my family.

6. Harry Potter. Very close to my heart. Joanne Rowling taught me love, friendship and valor. I'm not afraid to face death in case of a Voldemort type situation and it’s made me better prepared (hopefully) to lose my loved ones.

7. Things that I begin. The Words and Beyond Club, for instance. Perhaps a lame theme for a gathering, it remains my object of affection and sincerity. Sometimes I surprise myself about how seriously I take it and passionately I stand up for it. I guess it will take more than disheartening critics, jeering members and detached teachers to stop me.

8. Discussing World politics and economy however little I know. There’s still so much to learn and read about! I like to converse with my Dad on things like the depreciation value of the dollar, recession, democracy, motives behind the Bombay Sock Exchange like it is (my dad does most of the talking, and I do the listening), Barack Obama, Barack Obama and some more Barack Obama.

Eight things that attract me to my friends
