A Few to do before I Die
1) Visit the Northern Lights
2) Go for an African Safari
3) Go out in Space
4) See all the wonders of the world - Pyramid, Great wall
5) Set foot on each of the seven continents. Antarctica might be a tough one, but once done and reached all seven one can truly call oneself a world traveler.
6) Make a substantial difference in someone's life. Someone who is not related to me in any way
7) Tell all the people I love and care that I love them and how much they mean in my life.

An American in Gandhi's India
How many of us know of the only American who was jailed cause he was a part of India"s Freedom Struggle and how many of us know of the man who got the Red Apples to Himachal Pradesh.
It was rather pleasant to meet Mrs Asha Sharma author of the book "An American in Gandhi's India". She's the grand daughter of this American Indian, Samuel Evans Stokes, who later was known as Satynand Stokes.
This is what Mahatama Gandhi had to say in an article in Young India on Stokes’ arrest, "This is a unique move on the part of the government. Mr Stokes is an American who has naturalised himself as a British subject who has made India his home in a manner in which perhaps no other American or Englishman has... But that he should feel with and like an Indian, share his sorrows and throw himself into the struggle, has proved too much for the government. To leave him free to criticise the government was intolerable, so his white skin has proved no protection for him..."

Resolutions 09
New Year with new resolutions, new issues and new ways to keep them at bay or rather get them sorted...
So unline every year I did not make any resolutions this year..but now as time is going by I think I should ...Keeps the tradition going...and that also means breaking the resolution in the first month but always have a good reason for it!!!
So I have decided on this year's resolution....a happy healthy life ( which includes loosing weight) But I would this year not pinpoint my resolutions but rather put them in a broad gambit...so a happy healthy life...and in case at the end of the year i am still as BIG as i am now...I would have still achieved half of my resolution...all that eating and drinking that helped me keep my BIG stature atleasr made me happy!!!!
Diplomacy with self is the word!!

FRIENDS and FRIENDSHIP!!!
The best definition I have read so far!!!! "Good friends are like bras: supportive, never leave you hanging, make you look good and are always close to your heart." I think that is as good a definition as any of the word friend I've come across. Well gals I know you can relate to it but guys you gotto find your own thing!! :)
"A friend is someone who knows everything about you, but likes you anyway," goes the saying. There is no other human relationship like that of a friend. Unlike a sister, you chose a friend—she is not given to you as a result of biology
Another piece of advice I read....
If you've had a disagreement with your friend, buy her a new lipstick and attach a note that reads, "Let's make up."

Achievement
How does one define achievement. It is defined in Thesaurus as something completed successfully; goal reached . So anything can be an achievement.
What has been your life's achievements so far. For me it has been able to drive...well so many people woiuld say it is hardly anything..but for me it is one of the biggest achievments in my life.
People who read this blog, share your achievemnts. Achievements for me are things that I never thought I would do but then I finally do...this could be different for you.
