Am turning 27 in a few months and that got me thinking about goals / things i've done. Ideally, i should've made this list of things to do when i was 21.
Still, i guess it is never too late. These are the 35 things i would like to do before i reach 35. I've got 8 more years and am going to take a shot at this.
I will track the progress on 35 X 35 ( 35 by 35 ) and will update every 6 months.
