B. Salsa - the dance and the dip. In heels and with tacos respectively.
C. Finally finish reading "The Famished Road"... even if it kills me... a book semi-read for the past 8.5 years does nothing for my reputation.
D. Take up aerobics - for more than two days at a time. Maybe even jujitsu.
E. Blind date. What's life without a psycho or two?
F. Learn French and Spanish. Read Balzac and Marquez. Flaunt having read Balzac and Marquez in French and Spanish.

I. Find out what a griffin really is.
J. Become a workaholic. Shame my employers into giving me humongous salaries (note the plural). Save. Resign and buy a bookshop.

L. Take time out to run through the rain. Buy shoes befitting the same.
M. Learn to make three-tier cakes.
N. Not be obsessed with perfection.
O. Go for regular med check-ups. Find a cute doctor. Purely as incentive.
P. Hug parents more often.
Q. Apologize to P for telling her she is an adopted Martian. One day. Eventually.
R. Take up a pseudo-intellectual hobby. Talk to everyone about it at parties. Revenge is sweet.
S. Learn to drive a bike. Talk about Harley-Davidsons intelligibly.
T. Reduce dependence on artificial stimulants. Convince ISO to classify coffee as a natural stimulant.
U. Become more social. Learn to not scowl at people making small talk about the weather and traffic and Microsoft's takeover bid for Yahoo.
V. Learn swimming. Take psychiatric help to help develop selective amnesia and forget about Jaws. 1, 2 and 3.
W. Accomplish at least one daredevil-type thingummy. Apart from shopping for groceries.
X. Buy red heels. Stilettos. Get accident insurance.
Y. Try and locate people I knew in school. Call them out of the blue and girly-scream.
