There was a time when I was 14 and life was fun. We used to aim
for mangoes on the tree and those stone hurled green mangoes were tastier than
these Alphonso’s. When I was 20, there were not many Social media Apps but we
friends could sit and talk indefinite from Dusk to Dawn. But these days are
over and our lives have changed in last few years. But the child within me is not yet dead. One of my friend told me that he has prepared a list which he needs to do
before turning 30. I really liked the Idea and was determined to create one of
such list for myself.
I still have Four years and few months before I reach this
number 30. So, I decided I would challenge myself and will try to complete as
many as possible before I create a new list “35 before 35”. It’s a personal list
but I am sharing this just to let my friends and colleagues know what I am
after and if they can help me in any way possible. I urge you all to prepare such
a list as these childish activities bring joy to your life.

There are lot more things to write but will try to complete
all of them in next few years. So people, you can prepare such a list for
yourself. If you are 35, prepare a list about “40 things to do before 40”, who
cares about your age when you are young from inside. So, live each day to
fullest and enjoy this journey.
Great list! A couple of those, including the igloo, are on my list too!
