A cool list to remember the stuff one got up to in the course of one's life and also some of the things one is yet to try. Not an exhaustive list though, there were more in the Chicken Soup series.
First saw this at TGFI's space who copied it from Greensatya, who got it from some other blog. Chain blogposts ki jai ho ! By now, its probably all over blogistan. Decided to join the herd (for once :D) and go with the flow.
An asterisk against the lines indicate stuff I'd really like to do and the lines in bold are ones I've already done, been there, done that types, but does not necessarily mean I would/wouldn't do again :-)

Would love to visit Finland sometime.
In a restaurant, sat at a stranger's table and had a meal with them.
hehe.. so funny.. its only happened to me here in US.. never in india..
Taken care of someone who was drunk (not interested in the least in doing this again)
absolutely have to agree on this one.. its such a pain..!!!
#Mr. Vegan!
Must you have such an oxymoronic avatar? :(
As for sitting with strangers at a table in a restaurant, in India it happens ALL the time. You have to share your table if eating in one of those fast food joints and the place is full. But my experience covered in the post was truly unique. A stranger asked to join me at my table and eventually ended up paying my bill as well!! :D By the way, this was in Singapore...in case you're wondering, this would NEVER happen in India, catch someone buying a stranger a free meal!
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it »
Best regards from NY!
