La La land...

Some fantasies which will mostly never see the light of day...

  • Cruise the Greek islands...funny how a romantic fantasy has lasted years now...somehow dont see this ever happening in the intent of the fantasy, given recent interest in photography/ birds etc...
  • Strawberries at wimbledon... but this doesnt seem very high on my priority list now a days!
  • Adopt a child... The more i read about the adoption rules/ officious behaviour, the more i find it a good excuse not to follow up on this... Mixed feelings on this
  • Get drunk... I used to think that i would get drunk with someone who i could trust to ensure i stayed safe and sound when i did get tipsy... Somehow, i never can go beyond that second drink... Maybe not the best fantasy to come true
  • Learn Swimming and spanish... Either or both seem fantasies at this point. Chalk it to sheer laziness! 
  • Get a full fledged makeover done.... Chalk this one to sheer cowardice
  • Building the house of my dreams... i was reviewing my dream-house specifications the other day, and realized, i just dont care anymore:) Its off my priority list
  • The elusive PhD... dont want to ever write this off, after seeing a 50+ year old guy in my office who went in for his doctorate
  • Dance a waltz... but i cant quite picture myself dancing in public:D so this stays in the fantasy of the mind list...

But as i review the list above...i realized that i have gone after and lived some...
  • Egypt ... finished!
  • Scotland ... Finished, albeit i was opportunistic on this
  • Bali... ditto
  • Buying the car i always wanted...Check:)
  • The KINDLE! check
  • gold status on an airline loyalty program ...check 
  • Drive in a foreign country ... UK - with no support:) then Malta... which seemed far easier after the UK nightmare
Some fantasies i hope to make come true in the recent future
  • Drive in US of A. I think its about time i took the risk... worst case, wont do it again:)
  • Disney Landdddddddddddd
