Once upon a time ( not too long ago, though), I was asked to list out fifty things I want to do\/have\/experience before I die.
\nIt was easy, in a way. Listing out fifty things was real<\/i> easy. There are too many things in this world that I want to do. More than fifty, in fact. And no, none of them are as hogwashy as “going on a vacation to the Bahamas with Aishwarya Rai”. Aishwarya Rai does not figure in my grand scheme of things. We would probably bore the shit out of each other anyway, me and her. <\/p>\n
Nope, all of these things on my TODO list are very<\/i> probable. They can<\/i> be done. And I am not saying this to psyche myself up. <\/p>\n
So what stops me from going right ahead? Lots of things. My life, as of now, is very routine. A nice, safe, well-paying job. A nice, safe, cosy house in a nice, safe city. Commitments. My family. Friends. My own laziness. Need I jeopardize this blissful existence of mine?<\/p>\n
The way my life is going right now, this is how it’s going to turn out in the next ten years – A nice, safe, well-paying job. A nice, safe, cosy house in a nice, safe city. Maybe I will be married. Have kids. And then sit down and wait for them to grow up, so that they<\/i> can make my dreams come true. Isn’t that what they say? “Make your father proud of you, son.”<\/p>\n
Oh man! I am turning into what I hate the most! I am becoming Normal! My To-do list will probably stay that way throughout my life – “things TO DO”. Never done. Will I even think about it once I am thoroughly Normalised? Or will I find it someday and look at it and laugh over the idealism of youth…..and say something like “Aaaah, those were the days…”<\/p>\n
Does this happen to everybody? Does everyone feel the need to do “something”, something that’s different, and once that age of innocence and idealism is through, does everyone become a part of this grand cycle of monotony until it’s time to die? Or is it just me?<\/p>\n
I wish I could change the predictable turn my life is taking. I wish I could get some<\/i> time in my life, when I could seriously sit down and figure out WHAT it is that would make my life more meaningful. And I really, really wish I can do everything I want to do before I die. <\/p>\n
