Nice list Manu.
Hmm.. now let me think. 10 things that I would like to do:
1. Get an uninterrupted good night's sleep for once (*sigh* wishing stars I guess)
2. Hope the same continues tomorrow as well *LOL*
3. Get to do a marathon soon, hopefully in the next 2 yrs.
4. Go back to school full time
5. Continue to update my audioblog as frequently as possible once the baby brat comes (again, wishing stars probably)
6. Get into playback singing on a serious note
Well, guess 6 is good enough-- can't think of anything more now. Too much theeni in the afternoon (-;
Frankly, I dont have a top-10 list. May be a top-2/3 list...The main reason being, if something escalates to the top, I try to execute it, most of the time... And the other reason is that, my interests keep fluctuating (a lot...) and I keep aspiring about different things at different points of time...
All said and done, I do have a wish...My humble wish is to be the best in whatever I pursue, and to pursue anything that I love to..:)
@meera: 6? thats all? :)
@mindframes: I'm trying to make this list include also one time activities we want to try just for the heck of it. Even if we never pursue it ever again. Something to prevent us from taking ourselves too seriously :)
I had already compiled my list in my redtoenail blog under "Twenty things I want to do in my lifetime".Here is the link...

And I have achieved a few of them..:-)
@mano: Activities that I want to try just for the heck of it...hmmm...I dont think you want to know those...;)
@survivor: Nice- now I remember, I read the link when u finished your standford degree.
@mindframes: I/we do want to know :)
My Top 10:
1. To open my own company where there will be no restrictions on time in and time out ;-).
2.To participate in Tour De France.
3.Learn to fly that too without wings like superman ;-) .
4.To bring smile on all faces around me .
5.To act in a movie.
6.To go on world tour.
7.Learning guitar.
8.Learning swimming
9.To know myself
10.A wish to GOD to fulfill all my above 9 wishes.
Enjoyyyyyyyyy
@prashant, who are you?
Wow nice list....okie here goes my list (preference ordering in place)
1. A one on one jam session with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and John Petrucci.
2. Write atleast one "GOOD" paper that makes a contribution to the literature. Note that I'm assuming most research add only marginal contributions in terms of actual output. Very few come out with something innovative or original
3. Visit as many countries and hopefully leave my footprints over all the continents before heading six feet under.
hmm...Wishful thinking...but who says we cant dream...lol
@madmax: Please let me listen to your jam sessions with Satriani- I'm a big fan. As a matter of fact I'm quite a fan of your guitaring too :)
@ mano: sure thing man....as i said wishful thinking on my part...and thanks for the compliment
