1. 10 things to
do before
you die

2. Make a pilgrimage
• The destination might be African savannah
or Amazonian rain forest for an adventurist
or it may the Olympic ground for a sports
man. The goal is a cathedral you feel
sacred, a place where you can feel part of
something larger.

3. Photograph an endangered
species
• Aside from an image you can
keep for a lifetime, it will
remind you, and others, how
fragile life can be.

4. Eat a meal good enough to be your last
When the end comes for you, there is a distinct
possibility that you will be in no position to
enjoy chicken biriyani

5. Memorize a poem and pass it on
Memorize a poem you read at your childhood
and pass it to your descendants.

6. Cross a glacier on foot
Traversing these fast-disappearing
natural wonders is an adventure that
future generations might not be able to
experience.

7. Love truly and unconditionally at
least once in your whole life

8. Make an enemy for life
An enemy helps you define
yourself. Stand up to a
bully; speak out against a
fraud; fight off a rival for a
prize of honour.

9. Travel India by train
With its extensive rail network,
this mode of transport is the
best way to see one of the
world’s most colourful and
diverse countries.

10. Let someone else to miss
you...

11. Learn another language outside of
your country
This is definitely a weighty and time-
consuming proposition, but there are
plenty of resources out there to ease
the process.

12. Thank You
