25 under 25

So my 25th birthday is around 100 days away (103 to be precise) and hence I thought of coming up with a short-term bucket-list of sorts. A list of things I wish to do before my 25th birthday. As a friend pointed out that if I haven't done something for last 24.75 years there is little that I can achieve in these hundred days. But being the eternal optimist that I am, combined with a chronic list-maker, here goes the list I wish to strike off before 9th of January 2011.

Disclaimer: This is not an original idea...there are many such lists doing rounds currently. Ofcourse, these guys just thought of it a lil' before I did. Also considering the tight schedules of the Sherpas during this time of the year, Climbing the Mt. Everest has been kept off the list.

So without much ado, here's presenting THE LIST (drum-rolls)

1. Learn to bake cakes ...no, a chocolate cake with melted chocolate icing and choco-chips.
2. Learn to drive car.
3. Oh. That reminds me - Learn to ride bicycle!! (the one without side-wheels)
4. Get completely sloshed at least once, say the darn-est things ever and create 'funny, drunken, half-remembered' memories to tell the grand-kids.
5. Start investing. Activate the bloody online banking option!!!
6. Start paying off my Student's Loan.
7. Get in the best shape ever.
8. GOA. With. Friends.
9. Lunch at one of the South Bombay Irani Cafes (Berry Pulav, Chicken Salli Boti and Patrani Macchi. Burrp.)
10. Get a new job.
11. Grow a potted plant.
12. Self-learn how to Photoshop well.
13. Attend a book/poetry reading session.
14. Join a book club.
15. Brush up my French and practise it on unsuspecting souls.
16. Cook dinner for friends.
17. Read at least one significant works of Neruda.
18. Start a non-personal blog and post regularly.
19. Make a denim/cloth bag from online tutorials.
20. .........
21. .........
22. .........
23. .........
24. .........
25. ..........

It is now way past my bed-time and I have scratched enough brains to come up with this list of 19 'Things To Do'. I think I am growing old 'coz I seriously cant think of anymore but 25 it must be!! :(

Dear Readers, this is where I would ask you to suggest something cool/do-able/fun/not-tried-before things that I can possibly complete in next 100 days. Do send me your suggestions in the comments. I shall update this list with the name of person who suggested. :)

Thanks in advance!

Au revoir :)
