Things to do before i die...

So everyone has a list right? Things they wanna do, things they wanna accomplish in their lifetime... I too have one such list...
The best part about such lists are that they don't have to be realistic or reasonable, they can have things as simple as 'getting a dog' or as crazy as 'skydiving in the Arctic'. Nothing is impossible right! as long as you have the will and the passion to go for it, and just imagine the satisfaction and the happiness you feel when you actually do one of these things. In the journey of life you atleast did something YOUR way.
Not necessarily everyone religiously tries to complete their list, but atleast they have it somewhere in the back or their minds that there is something they always wanted to do but havn't done it for whatever reasons. They will keep saying to themselves that the thing in question is too crazy to be actually carried out and that only eccentric people would do it, but on the other hand they would also secretly wish that they had the courage to do it. They will find a million reasons and excuses for not doing it, but not ONE reason to go ahead and do it.
ME..!! well i wanna do a lot of things, experience a lot of things, but not everything happens according to ur will right? but i still strive to do whatever i can :) Sooo... here i am sharing my 'Things to do before i die' list . I've managed to complete a couple of them.. marked in red
