With all due respect, my list may be similar to what others have composed, but don’t we all want to achieve the seemingly “unacheivable”? Well, not all but at least I do 🙂

(Being an Indian, or not, doesn’t have anything to do with it. IMHO).

I don’t know if my bucket list is so similar to other people out there, but it’d scare me if that’s so. I’ve got my own dreams, aspirations and an identity that I very much hold dear. 🙂

Really? Do others also want to Dance all night to hip hop? Visit a haunted house in London? Live the life of the locals in Xinjiang? Drive an orange Lamborghini?

Really? Man…in that case I’ve probably got many clones out there 😉 Who are these people!?

About the “inspiration” questions, well being a human behavioural coach (which I’m sure there are many out there), those questions are pretty much the basics and starting point of exploring and getting a clear perspective. So I’m sure a lot of these may go in common.

The point for my writing this post is to share a “piece” of me and hopefully urge others to come up with their own list.

I’m not sure who gave birth to the concept of Bucket List; it could be the websites you speak of, but for me I already attributed the source at the start of the post — a movie called The Bucket List. (You should watch it.)

And hey, I still very much want to witness a Super-massive Black hole. If they can, why can’t I? Granted, I may be 80 by then but technology is pretty sweet so it’s all possible.

But I DO love your points. Made me think, so thank you for that and for reading! 🙂

Pooja

At least when you are putting content created by someone else, it’s always( and an unspoken code of online conduct) respectful to give due credits to the source of the material (citing/quoting it), but what pisses off me the most, is that the list mentioned is rather a ‘dreams’ list, than a proper ‘things to do before dying goals’ list, and most of them is chock full of wild day/night dreams which is not possible for an ordinary human in another rebirth, leave alone in his/her lifetime( Swimming with sharks, living in a monastery/china/egypt witness a super massive black hole ?…) and how is an ordinary Indian like you and me, meant to know something about shamanism or mechanical bulls ?… I think the creator of this list meant this as hyperbolic one, for humour..
