I am going to be 18 in a day ( :D) so I was just wondering how I spent all those years of mine…and I realized I had gathered some real beautiful memories which I loved to cherish, some decisions which I still regret about, some embarrassing moments which I laugh about, some daring stuff which I feel proud about…in short…so far so good!!
But somehow I was still left unsatisfied because I plan to completely freak out before I leave, there is still so much left to see, so much left to do…I am actually more than my needs!
So I made a list of all the things (in no particular order) I wanna do in the years which are left….
1 Go for scuba diving.
2 Pack a bag and randomly sit in a train without knowing where it is going.
3 Be completely drunk, so much so that I am left semi-conscious. (Though I’d prefer to carry a friend, just in case…)
4 Own a small house (though with huge gardens) in a country-side where I can spend my life after retirement.
5 Watch an opera in the
6 Passionately fall in love with somebody (so I can make him my crime partner!)
7 Get a tattoo made on my shoulder which reads…’Maqtub’ (urdu for destiny)…and I’d even like a tattoo anklet!!
8 Open a small school for girls, and teach them to live a life with self-respect and independence.
9 Work in a Broadway (even if I have just a small role)
10 Get my hair streaked with ‘purple’ colour.
11 Take my mom to a live concert or a play or a ballet (this is one of her dreams actually)
12 Go on a Eurail trip
Get my best friend's collection of poems published, adopt a bunch of kids, meet Shahrukh khan,just once…etc etc.etc…
I know my list of these ‘bizarre’ dreams is actually never-ending...I can carry on with it like forever :P. But as I said there is still so much to do, so much to experience…
Actually it does not really matter if I am able to fulfill each and every dream in my list because what is more important is that you dream and try to make your life worth living. Dreams are the future realities, strive to complete them. Enjoy and make the most of each and every moment you have. Believe in yourself. Let stories be told through you. Believe in what you can’t see but what you do know. Have faith ‘cause that’s the only way to capture all your fears.
And this birthday all I wish, is to keep my ‘hope’ alive and that my dreams survive! :)
Considering there are so many ‘weird’ dreams of mine which I intend to fulfill and will be posting about them too…this blog is gonna be way interesting…lol :P
So keep reading, keep dreaming and keep the ‘sunny side up’!!
Ciao till then…
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die, shall never ever die!!!
:)
