10 things to do......


10. compete in the Mumbai/Delhi marathon - would be a difficult task considering I have spent some time working in the IT industry.

9. learn to speak Japanese/Spanish/French – any one will do particularly Japanese. Being a out and out geek the Japanese language would be an absolute boon. Then maybe French – for obvious reasons.

8. learn to play the saxophone. — but smoking for almost 6 years now it seems has taken the breath out of me. But I will still try it sometime.

7. open my own restaurant someday. — being a Bengali, I adore getting lost in the aroma of mustard oil and fresh cooked rice and fish (along with the western delicacies of course), backed by world class service. Already I feel like I am in heaven.

6. travel all around the world. — australia, africa, russia, europe…too many to name……..my ultimate dream is to spent some time with the natives around the Amazon, understanding their way of life, daily activities and retrospect how diversely we have evolved as human beings, subject to varying conditions in different environments.

5. get a book published and widely read. — that’s an difficult wish to cater to, with the kind of time I have but yet……

4. run my own production company. — one of my friends had been dabbling in writing, filmmaking, and music for as long as I can remember, so it would be a dream come true to actually make a living doing what I can do better – especially with the kind of films that have come out recently

3. have a reunion with all my friends from all around the world. — I have made so many amazing friends in my life, so it would be great to see them all in one place laughing together as the circle of friends.

2. fall in love deeply, truly, and passionately. — I have had fooled myself quite a few times in the past, but I can safely say that I haven’t truly, deeply, and passionately fallen in love just yet. But I am sure I have found the one.

1. And the final wish - to be truly happy. — I know that I’m definitely a professional masterpiece-in-progress, always eager to learn and grow into the best version of myself, both professionally and personally. But sometimes I can be my worst critic and struggle with accepting me for who I am now. I have to remind myself that nobody is perfect, and that’s the most beautiful part about life!

PS: Life is always a struggle as we grow up but it must be remembered at all times, that the decisions we take in life make us what we are eventually. At the same time we must never forget that dreams are what make us realize, what we want to/can achieve in life. So go out, see the world, make a dream, make promises to self ………….and go all out to make them HAPPEN. Over and out folks…….
