Things To Do Before I Am 30

After watching Things to Do Before You're 30, I am tempted to write a small list. Ofcourse you wont find the ones that you would probably be wanting to find, but those are more or less the same as the sleazy ones in your list(okay, like a few in the adjoining picture). Here is a fairly honest list. Please note that the list is not sorted on any particular parameter. That means, they are not ranked by importance or the temporal order in which I would like to carry them out.

-> Get transferred to Pune
-> Get out of the tech field, possibly jump to finance
-> Start a small business, not a software company
-> Get married
-> Learn to swim ( I learnt to cycle in April 2004 in my office campus)
-> Learn to iron clothes and comb my hair
-> Devote some time for a social cause
-> Learn to cook good food
-> Travel to Valley of flowers, Manali in particular and North India in general
-> Visit Taj Mahal

Well Well! It is something that is very much there but I did not write it there. Of late, I have met a few people who think that I am money minded. So just skipped that one :-)

Yes that is a simple list. However why anyone would get off the tech feild is beyond me. And I can't beleive you live in India and havn't visited the taj mahal! That would be the first place I'd go.
