50 Before 20: This time no procrastination!

I'm turning twenty in one month and a few hours. Needless to say, I am freaking out. I feel as though I have accomplished nothing in the past 20 years,. Like most people I have a few certificates and a decent cgpa - but that's not what I'm talking about. I feel like I have failed to develop/accomplish something as a person, as an individual, as me. And the last thing I want to do is grow up feeling like a failure.

This is why I made a list of things - 9 areas and 50 things. They are neither interesting nor difficult, they are simply things I want to do, just to prove to myself that I am not as horrible as I think I am. The list includes:


7 blog posts
10 doodles
1 short story
1 play
3 poems
15 thank-you notes
5 "good movies" (open for suggestions)
5 new dishes (ditto ) *pescetarian alert*
3 new friends

I know some of them sound really lame (like the last one), but I really do feel that accomplishing all of this will not only make me feel good, but also help me improve as a person (or, to be more specific, help me improve as ME).

Project Pina Coladas

One of my secret fantasies is to be a bartender...hence appreciate Shatbhi Basu, India's most famous Mixologist. We have a lot of things in common:
-Curly hair
-Portly body
-Culture (both bengali)
She'd be my idol if she wasn't so darn irritating...
Also appreciate the fact that she travels all over the world, meeting bartenders and sharing recipes. You heard me. Bartenders. Bartending. Alcoholic Heaven.

Greatly inspired by said person, I shall now embark on a journey towards making a wonderful glass of Pina Colada. I went shopping. Found almost nothing.

Dude called God likes to make it challenging.

Challenge accepted.


P.S. Angry @ Mr. Certain Someone: loser, dumdum, moron!
