Keyed this one during a transatlantic trip, and reading it one more time makes me wonder....But anyways, here are some of the things I want to do,before I use up my 650,000 hours. These are in no specific order.
#Make a trip to Africa,to the Serengeti…watch the lions, the elephants, the cheetah, the hyenas, the wild dogs, the buffalo. Dance with the Masai.[Made a trip to the Masai Marra plains in Kenya and watched the Masai dance...heck, you could watch the whole cosmic dance on those plains!!...done & done!]
#See a tiger in the wild…before its too late. Meet Billy Arjan Singh…and tell him “Thank You”. Listen to stories about Tara, Prince and Eelie. [Billy moved to the happy hunting grounds a few days after I made up my mind to visit Dudhwa...this one will never be done and will always remind me to seize the moment! ]
# Fly a plane…all by myself. Actually say, “Tower, Eagle One is now ready for takeoff”. Take that trip to space and be stunned at the view.
# Trek the Appalachians…to determine if life makes more sense at the end of it
# Run a marathon…to exorcise all those “running race” fears from my school days.
# Live for 3 months at Manhattan….run at Central Park everyday. Make my peace with mankind.
#Make a long road trip in a jeep…with two german shepherds. Meet a girl on the way…also with two german shepherds…jeep optional. [Got the order and the details a little mixed up, but this one is done...got two labradors, met a girl with two labradors and we have driven 30,000 km in a car to date...close enough!!]
# Trek from Noradhar to Churdhar one more time. Run a fever at the end of it. Feel cleansed.
# Start a company…do the unthinkable. Redefine “going to work”. Create. Be a primary mover.
# Live for a month in a small fishing town by the sea. Watch a few storms. Listen to stories over beer. Go fishing.
# Spend a month at Topslip. Learn to track animals. Work towards better management of wildlife sanctuaries on the Western Ghats
# Own a farm….like the one in “Six Cousins Again”. Cows, horses, dogs, and high tea.
# Have a “private” runway in the farm, to fly RF planes. Fix cameras on the plane and have “real-time” intelligence capability…a capability I wish I had in 11th grade
# Rehabilitate all “domestic” elephants into the wild
# Learn to play the guitar.
# Feel the way I felt on a cold, violent November night….one more time.[Blitzkrieg yet again!]
