ROTFL wank! Impressive list, but massive omissions bratha! What about all the women that you wish to "get to know better" :-) Did I hear Kathy Kaif?? :-)

Most stuff on the list matches my own bucket list dude... what do they say about wise men thinking alike? :D

Dude ...... I know 2 poles - North Pole & South Pole. Which is the third one???

Practical Preacher said...

Dude.. the 3rd Pole is Mount Everest.. guess ur not much into outdoor stuff..

btw, think the earlier comment u had posted (about BD and Bangalore) wasnt for this blog. was it?

you what i think? :)
you should have a bucket list of things you'll do before you're 30 or 35 or something sooner instead of planning for when u're 70, 80, or 100!
it seems so far away!

Raina said...

i'm stealing some! ;)

Practical Preacher said...

Ms. Singh.. thats actually a great idea. Have time tables n deadlines. lol. maybe that way you can keep a running bucket list. Will think about it. :-)

Practical Preacher said...

Firstly I presume this is a PG version of the list..(lets leave out the mile high stuff) Hope to see the real version soon;-)

and www.43things.com could help you get better organized on such things.

BTW did you go to see the Bayern game at kolkotta? it was a good oppurtunity to watch your fav. club..

Practical Preacher said...

Big B.. nice to hear from u after so long. Will certainly use that site for getting the things done.

Couldnt see the Bayern game. Was Oliver Kahn's last competitive game. Must have been fun. 120,000 football loving bengalis screaming their heads off.
