A few years ago, I did a list of “Things to do before I die.” It was quite an experience to list down simple things which I wanted to do in life.

As also reflected in my original list, the purpose of doing such a list is to know what exactly do I stand for?

What exactly do I want from life?

In a sense, it is an effort in search of purpose of existence.

During the last few years, I have gone through many ups and downs in life. These in turn have changed my desires and wants. So, I decided that may be, it was a good time to review the old list.

Things accomplished have been crossed out.
