101 things to do before you die

                                                Recently i saw an internet list where a person has listed what all things he wanted to do before he died . No its not about writing a will , finish all the debts if any etc etc . Its about a few things you want to do which you have to prioritize to make sure that we accomplish as many of these as possible . Its not a competition , for no one is gonna give a prize if you accomplish the 101 things . But the positive thing about this list is that there will be less number of " I should haves" when you can actually do many of these things only if you prioritize them . These lists are personal (doesnt mean you have to hide them ) but means a list for one person may not be 1 percent related to another ones . Here goes mine a few of them which you can also copy if you are interested and suggest things to me if you have interesting ones . Recently i met a couple who quit their job and are on a southeast asian tour for 6 months . Its not to be copy-pasted by all but it is an interesting option for a select few . (  I admire them , but its not in my 101 things to do  ) . My list goes here :
1.  Learn latin dance :  Believe me , even if you are as clumsy as me on the dance floor it is a fantastic experience dancing to the rhythm of the sensuous salsa or bachata music . It is an ideal combination of listening to rhythmic music , exercise as well as meeting interesting people . My status : learnt the basics of salsa and tango now want to learn more
2. Learn a martial art : No its not promoting violence but actually preventing it .  Be it kungfu , taek won do or karate it gives a confidence in yourself which even a gym body doesnt give you .  Make sure that you choose one which you like and also a good guru .  My status : learnt karate for two years , kungfu for three months .  And in those three months gained the confidence which two years karate didnt give me . As i told earlier guru matters
3. learn driving :  most of us may be having a driving licence , but think back as its not only an essential skill but a learning not to be missed for the pure thrill of it .  To think about it crudely , you are travelling much faster than any running human being in full control of a highly complicated machine . As i told 101 things is not one like landing on the moon but seemingly simple things but which can be listed and achieved . Now without going further i will list a few more which i have achieved and many  i wish to do if i can before i die .
4. cook a complex dish like biriyani or crab curry
5. sing a song in front of an audience with an orchestra .  (dont have to be rafi for that )
6. look through the window during takeoff of plane (many have done it but all should )
7. be an entrepreneur ( need not be ambani, i had done a small book business while i was in college . the point is not to risk your savings but do a small business just for the sake of it ) .
8. act in a role in a movie or serial (it was the smallest role in a malayalam serial long ago , but it was fun while i did it .. just a scene in a tv serial  with my friends and sangeetha mohan around 10 years ago )
9 live in a foreign country at least for a week seeing the local culture
10 eat food which is diametrically opposite what you eat daily----for me sushi -- and i havent stopped
                                         there are many i want to do like
11 . to own a dog  --- with my travelling job my dog hating mother has told me you can buy it if you are at home for 30 days .. so the odds are good :)
12 . to learn a musical instrument : listening music is different from the thrill of making it  ..
13. to go to poland ... i want to visit the place where madame curie did all her fantastic experiments
...................i am stopping for now .............. pls tell me yours
