Before I die

I have been wondering about this quiet a while. what are the things I would really like to do If I am going to die tomorrow?

When I read Mitch albom books about death and the book "before I die" by jenny downham I had it in my mind. thanks to my friend's blog it has given me push to finally jot it down.

If tomorrow were to be my last day these are the 15 things I would like to do.
And why 15 ? Its just came up to that count. But I am contended with these things.

1. Fly to India to hug my mom and dad. Tell my brother even after all the fight I love him so much.

2. Get a pet - Golden retriver bit grown puppy - and play with it

3. Ask my mom to do few of my favourite dishes like "Keerai kuttu","paruppu" "vatha kulambu", "semiya payasam" and eat to hearts content

4. Set up an Marian aquarium at home.

5. Go out with my best friend G to Spencer plaza for shopping in bike.
I would drive my favourite bike without helmet very fast in beach road LOL.
I would buy all that I like, I wanna wear funky trendy clothes as well as sherwani
Buy mom most expensive silk saree and dad a adorable kurtha
Buy my brother a bottle of Bacardi/blazer and SCOTT glasses

6. Write a note to all my loved ones in a scented card. Tell you all, How much I love you guys and how much difference you have made in my life by being part of it.

7.Get a photo shoot done. Solo and with my family, friends and dog. I won’t be there to see it but I would like one. They can keep it in funeral - I have seen funny pictures being blowed up to keep in funeral, I want mine to be the best shot :)

8. Go to Sai baba temple in Neelankarai and sit before him for 10 minutes, closed eyes
Say thanks to all that he has given me in my life.

9. I would say the truth the whole day, wont worry to get judged wont worry to be nice. Just the truth

10. Eat falooda ice cream in ranganathan street and pani puri in road side shop.

11. Go to Visually challenged study centre in Tnagar - read for my friends for one last time. Give them the most adorable clothes, Chocolates and all the money in my bank account

12. Ensure all my savings/Insurance go to mom and dad.

13. In the evening go to the marina beach watch sunset with the dog, just me and dog.

14. I want to have nice long kiss with my X one last time, and say thanks for letting me do that LOL: P

15. Come home, nice long, oil bath from mom, wonderful dinner. Light candles everywhere, switch off all the lights, Bombay jayashree "Shravanam" playing. I Would lie on my moms lap , and sleep :P I wont care about being in heaven, for I have already lived a day of it!

Hey Srivats, there are some really nice thoughts and ideas for you to do.
I guess we have to try our best to incorporate the things we all want to do into our daily lives to make the most of lives.

All these ideas sound good.
They are very simple but things you are passionate about.

You are a very cool guy that has a big heart for his friends and family.

Make the most of each day without any regrets.

Regards
Graeme ,N.Z.

An Elephant's pride

Image
I happen to see this video of elephant giving birth and it blew me off. The mother elephant (after delivery) checked the calf which neither breathed nor moved. After several kicks and a quick blow the calf took its first breath to everyone’s relief. In next few minutes the calf stood up and looked perfectly fine. The mother seemed so happy and proud and I almost heard her say “see I have made my child and I know how to take care of it”. Nearly million elephants are killed in africa during last two decades, that left so many orphans, think before buying Ivory stuff , photo courtesy National Geographic This morning found me in an unusual place, a baby shower function (locally known as “Seemandham”) of my cousin’s wife. Unlike abroad it’s a family function here and I was obliged to attend. Needless to say I was surrounded by truck load of aunties and soon to be, worrying about my future love life and stuff. On occasions like this, men get busy taking part in the rituals/ doing t...

Goedemorgen Amsterdam - Euro Trip 4

Image
Morning came and I found myself looking over this wonderful sight from the window. R was very generous to accommodate me in his flat which he shares with his colleagues. My official guide was very busy plus I was yet to get my luggage so I couldn't go anywhere. I stood in the balcony with no jacket for a long time soaking in the surroundings. I enjoyed letting out smoke from my mouth. Amsterdam’s autumn winds cooled me to the bones. This canal passes right under his flat After 11 am, it became really boring in the huge flat. By compulsive behaviour I cooked sambar and rice for my lunch. I made enough sambar to last for all the flat mates for dinner. Then I took a long warm bath and slept all through the day. Late morning view By evening I strolled along the neighbourhood and went to the business area called Bijlmer arena where R worked (its half an hour – two bus ride from the house). Thankfully he had received a message from Air-France that my luggage would be delivered the...

Merci Paris - Euro Trip 3

Image
Le Pont des Bridge, behind is the institute of France. I wasn't hoping to write one more post on Paris, owing to the fact that I spent only one and half days there, and I slept 10 hours during my stay. But it’s hard to say no, to a friend who wish to hear some more. It’s difficult to forgo history when writing about Paris, one of the old cities in the world. The permanent habituation of which dates back to 4200 BC! Much later Romans conquered it, and settled down by 52 BC. Below is the oldest place and centre of Paris – “Ile de la Cité” – a naturally formed Island in the river Siene. Across the island you can see the “Pont Neuf” (“new bridge” then) that is now the oldest bridge in Paris built in 16th century. During the darkest times (Of French revolution referred as Reign of Terror)of France, famine came upon, diseases spread and vast blood has been shed due to political upheaval. 40,000 people gave their head to Guillotine , and right here near Pont Neuf, The knights of Te...
