Hey! I'm baaack...
*crickets chirping*
Hello? Anybody miss me???
*crickets disappear*
Well, even if you didn't know, I've been away from blogging for more than two months, and find it as difficult as ever to put together a post. Although there are many thoughts and ideas swimming in my mind at the moment waiting to be turned into masterpieces (modest aren't I?) and grace this very Blogosphere (*rolling eyes*), but I shall post this "random" of a post anyways.
Happy Holidays in advance to all my blog buddies! My only activities in this nippy winter is that like of a mountain bear in hibernation; it seems I spend way more time sleeping than a Mr. Teddy usually does. And I had my birthday last week. There is nothing "fun" about turning a year older and stepping even closer than before to perhaps start the use of Anti-Age Wrinkle cream, but what made it special is that, somehow the people who I wanted to wish me- even though they were thousands of miles away swearing at the bitter cold of winter and cursing the very existence of the month of December- did.
I saw HIMYM last week where it had Marshall Eriksson (one of the lead characters) reading out his things to do before 30 list. And it made me wonder...
And so off late, I've been pondering (pardon the cliche) about what I would see myself fifteen or so years down the line to have accomplished. And so I decided, making no commitments in cement, to make a To-Do Wish List* before I turn forty.
So, here I go:
1. Author a book
(If Stephanie Meyer can get her bestseller storyline in her sleep, I should have been writing sagas by now)
2. Travel to atleast 5 different countries
(Home country and taking a stopover flight does not count)
3. Create a headline/ Be interviewed on TV
(The good and non-scandalous kind)
4. Be fluent in a Foreign Language
(Accented English does not count)
5. Invent something
(A word or phrase...anything, but something!)
6. TRY to enter into the Guinness book of world records
(then again, TRY)
7. Still run this blog
(..And criticize this post and the warmth of the winter that made me write this in the first place)
If I don't make any of them from this list, feel free to mock. (Be nice)
OK, wow, this merry season is getting to me. I've kept this post as raw and unedited as my thoughts (I know its gonna bite me in the a** later)
*No. No. Not THAT list is private.
Cheerio folks!
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2010 in Advance....

Great lesson by Russell Bishop:
ReplyDeleteBack in the 1960's and 1970's, I was involved in all manner of protests - civil rights, peace, equal access, etc. One day, on a protest line, I wound up getting hit by a tear gas canister. As I picked it up and started to throw it back, I suddenly, and inexplicably, found myself looking back at myself, as though I were a spectator to my own activity. And then I heard myself screaming, "why don't you a**holes love us?"
As wave after wave of awareness broke over me, I saw the contradiction of my life to that point: my message was love and peace, and my strategy was to yell, scream and throw things.
"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."
