* Get my Master's degree in History; * Write the definitive maritime history of India; * Re-learn German; * Learn French and Sanskrit; * Tour those corners of India that I haven't seen yet, on my own set of rough-roading wheels; * Go to Leh by road, and bum around Ladakh for as long as I can afford (two days, at present levels); * Lose 20 kgs.; * Photograph Calcutta before it auto-destructs; * Try to understand the different Indian philosophical schools; * Try to understand Economics (if it's really possible; sometimes it seems to be something that Economists invented to keep themselves in an occupation not to be described as idling their time away); * Learn to ride a motor-cycle; * Complete my collection of Western classical music; * Listen to as much jazz as I can; * Travel through Cambodia (without losing limbs, it is to be hoped); * Travel through Scandinavia, and the Baltic states; * Backpack through Africa, and South America, and travel to China and Russia (they don't encourage back-packers, it is said); * Scuba-dive at every feasible Indian location; * Collect and print my daughter's poems; * Find my ancestral village in Bangladesh (there are two, one easier to find than the other); * Learn to fly a plane; I'll be happy to achieve even one of these, any one. bonobashi Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
