 Hey Gracu....If someone asks me why you joined geology? my answer is I was undecided about my major until I saw brochure of Department of Geology, hanging on the wall of Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus. What I found on that brochure was luring description of some of their fieldworks outside the Kathmandu valley with other prospectives of study. And then I decided this is going to be my career.  So Yellowstone National Park is still in my list from US and I am eyeing for a trip to Antartica. A more complete list of my dream destinations will include  Chocoloate Hills, Philipines Saler de Uyuni, Bolivia Gateway to Hell, Iceland Stone forest, Madagascar Fingal's Cave, Scotland Great Blue Hole, Belize Great Barrier Reef, Australia Crystal Caves of Giants, Mexico ( someone told me that they have already filled water in that cave and it is not visitable any more, so sad ) Hell Gate, Turkemanistan Wave Rock, Australia I went to Alaska last summer but never got chance to watch Aurora Borealis, so one more time  for that mighty northen lights.... this list goes on but time and money ......never enough! I still have long list of camera lenses and accessories in my bucket., needs to consult with Juggy /Jacksparrow/Umesh or other pro phtographer in Sajha ..

Does everyone's bucket list merely comprise of traveling.....I don't know, I am passionate about geography, but I don't think i am an avid traveler. I have been to several conferences, where I have enjoyed sleeping in the hotels rather than go sightseeing. Especially in US, the more hype they create about sightseeing touristy places, the more disappointed I am as it is exactly the same as in other cities... anyways, i have one and only bucket list..... I want to be free, feel free, break free..........The only time I realize I have done that was when I was a kid, alone in the terrace flying a kite, fluttering in the sky all by itself. I want to have that feeling again.

 Grace_S ji, I'd have thought you'd have Graceland in your mind for your honeymoon.  That aside, you literally stole the words outta my mouth and heart when you said "Around the world in 80 days".  When I submitted my Bucket list, I knew I had rushed myself and as an avid traveling enthusiast (albeit I must confess, I'd never been outside the valley prior to my last trip to Kathmandu), I can't express my intense desire to travel around the world.  Even today, when I get bored at work, I keep looking into ticket prices etc to take a trip around the world and I've found out that it's doable at a mere sum of 10-15k.  Jonny, believe it or not, just yesterday, I was looking into taking a road trip to Alaska from the Bay Area. I wish to travel to Seattle and Vancouver sometime this year/early next year though. 

footyfan · Oct 13, 2011 11:44 AM

I got my permanent residence card on the very day of my birthday which was this october. Now guess what? I want to go home and see my mom. I have been here since 6 years and what else can i wish for?

behoove_me · Oct 13, 2011 12:49 PM

Jonny, going to Europe for one week is like not going to Europe at all. You need to set aside more time. I was there for a whole month in winter but it still was not enough. A lot of people like to travel but if you can afford it and dont mind going out of your comfort zone, you should definitely live in foreign countries for a few months/years. When you travel, it is just sight-seeing but when you live there, you will actually get to know its people and culture. The experiences that you get is priceless and you can also brag about it. LOL. For me, the one thing I really wanna do before I die is open non-profit schools all over Nepal. Is this possible? I sure dont know.

violet7 · Oct 13, 2011 1:19 PM

Damn Bodmas, Close to getting six pack and already ran 200 miles this year???  Man I need to start hanging out with you :)  Also, about your last list - making love in a open place looking at the moon...well dude that is not that difficult.  Get a room at a high rise hotel with a big balcony or terrace on one of those full moon night when sky is clear..but don't mention your moon experience on your kids book...haha. Behoove_me, I too want to meet President Clinton and Thomas Friedman along with Fareed Zakaria.  But Aaron Rodgers not so much as I 'm a black n gold fan. I would like to meet Troy Polamalu instead.  And dude, what's up with Ryan Gosling?? Violet7, hope it is possible, especially your bucket list.   

Jonny · Oct 13, 2011 1:43 PM

Bucket List!!!! hmmmmm.... Nope. Nothing!!!! Just have bucket. No list. The more I plan the more life gets frustating. Can't have more confusing life than that. BTW have been in British Columbia and surely it is beautiful place to be.

jwaaii · Oct 13, 2011 2:09 PM

 Here is my list. 1. Own a company so that others will work to make money for me !!! 2. Travel to Europe and NZ ( No Australia) 3. Open a resturant chain (1 and 3 are different) 4. Turn into a good photographer ( dont need to be a pro but better than good ones) 5. Go watch a superbowl with Vikings playing in it  Much more are there. Let me stop now :P Sparrow

jacksparrow · Oct 13, 2011 2:56 PM

Jonny, Bet you are happy that them Steelers are back on track after Benji's 5 touchdown passes. But the reason I want to meet Rodgers is (leaving aside me being a cheesehead), his leadership ability, his precision passes, his perserverance, and coming out of his foolish predecessor's shadow and over all, being snubbed by all other teams during draft and his own management for three gruesome years. It takes substantial valor to be emerge as a winner after what he has been through. Therefore I'd want to meet him. Having said that I'd like to meet Troy too, heard he is spiritual. But again, being a Packers fan, I do not readily want to buy into the media hype steelers are in. As far as Ryan Gosling is concerned, he is an extremely good actor if you leave aside that cheesy 'Notebook' and the recent chick flick with his 'photoshopped' abs. He has impressed me in 'Half Nelson' and he has continued to impress me through 'ides of March'. I'd rather have him win an oscar than a two minute scream-happy Penelope Cruz in that Xavier Bardem and Scarlett Johanson flick.,

behoove_me · Oct 13, 2011 3:02 PM

Behoove_me, I though you became a big Ryan Gosling fan coz of Nootbook.. Just kidding bro..Well not sure if you have checked out "all the good things" but he did a really good job on that one too..with Kristen Dunst...a true story based on NY Tycoon..

Jonny · Oct 13, 2011 3:17 PM

grace don't u have bama/Lsu game in ur bucket list.... here is mine... 1. watch champions league final in Wembly. 2. watch one full Ashes match in Lords w/o sparing a ball 3. Ofcourse, Wimbledon final 4. wanna take part in 'TOUR DE FRANCE' 5. Trip to Alaska like  "Into the wild" way..bt i want to return bck frm there 6.  La Tomatina  en Espana ........................

imperfect harmony · Oct 13, 2011 5:29 PM

1. Go hiking upper Mustang side and other remote places with no communication gadgets and without notifying to others. 2. All Nepal Motorcycle Tour with my Male frens. 3. Building Oldage home and hospital.

hawaflash · Oct 13, 2011 5:55 PM

 "watch champions league final in Wembly"  I must admit that I'm a bit shocked with the choice. It appears that you're a decent soccer fanatic but Wembley isn't remotely among the finest venues. Camp Nou, Bernebeu, Allianz Arena, Giuseppe Miazza are much better venues. Wembley's capacity is amazing but the pitch is bloody awful to say the least. 

footyfan · Oct 13, 2011 6:20 PM

even though m not a fan of english football team...but when it comes to football stadium with traditions,passion,crowd and the environment Wembley is the cathedral of football, it is the capital of football and it is the heart of football. I agree with you about the pitch bt thts just after the renovation of the stadium(2007) and they are working on tht but on the footballing environment, Wembly is Wembly... so it's on my list...

imperfect harmony · Oct 13, 2011 6:54 PM

 Well its your bucket list. Who am I to nitpick. 

footyfan · Oct 13, 2011 8:31 PM

 1) Multi millionaire  by the age of  45.  2)Go to mustang  when i   visit  Nepal. 3)Visit  Switzerland,Amsterdam and visit  Germany for atleast one  Oktoberfest. 4)Stay  unmarried. 5)And as someone  mentioned earlier, open a school in Nepal  for homeless and poor  kids,or  atleast  establish an  scholarship for kids who cannot   afford  going to school. 6)Retire  in my beach house,and  start a  day with a  joint   in my hand:)

Role_model · Oct 13, 2011 8:50 PM

 ...see roger federer live in the finals of us open before he retires.. ....watch nickelback, lifehouse, kings of leon, coldplay live with audience of atleast 30 thousand people... ...go sky diving.. ..watch brock lesner in a ufc paperview match.. ... ..

detoxg · Oct 14, 2011 1:50 AM

haha Bairagi man, maybe u need some bucket list eh. Take a chill pill yo. 

Juggy · Oct 14, 2011 8:04 AM

 Role_model, are you expressing your desire and aims of your life or sharing your bucket list?  Detoxg, You probably have the most achievable bucket list albeit I'm not sure Roger Federer will make it to the final of US Open next year or in the future.  Kings of Leon are pretty amazing. I wish to see them perform too.  Grace, I don't think you really need more than a month to see Europe. I get what you're saying but do you really think that a person needs more than 5 days to 'see' NYC? Same about Europe in my opinion. I envy your experience though. I was fortunate enough to go to Europe while in High School and boy, didn't I love Germany!  While we're at it, if someone is serious about taking a road trip to Europe or Alaska sometime next summer, feel free to hit me up. 

footyfan · Oct 15, 2011 11:41 PM

Greetings all! Footyfan, I am not sure if five days or a month would be enough for the Europe tour but I shall keep your suggestion in consideration. imperfect_harmony, I sure would love to see my boys slam them tigers - both! Happy Tuesday!

Grace_S · Oct 18, 2011 10:51 AM

Footy, I am planning to visit Alaska next summer and planning to drive from Anchorage to Fairbanks. I wish I could travel in February to see Aurora Borealis, but driving would be an impossibility.

behoove_me · Oct 18, 2011 11:05 AM

 haha. I see what you did there, Grace.  My intent was to imply that 5-7 days in NYC = 30 days in Europe. If you think that you're gonna see the entire Europe, then you might as well see the entire world, observing every fine detail.  As an avid travel enthusiast, I'd definitely wish to go to England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Greece and Portugal.  That's a noble idea, Behoove_me. I'm planning on going to Vancouver and Seattle (12-15 hr drive) from the Bay Area sometime in December...Wish I really could find a travel companion to drive far up North or Europe. 

footyfan · Oct 18, 2011 11:28 AM

I saw people's bucket list about meeting President Clinton. I had the amazing good fortune to shake his hand in the last year of his presidentship. It was by shear luck. I happened to attend the Presidential Golf Tournament in Virginia because a friend of mine could not attend it. He gave me the tickets. I got to see some of the top golf players in action, including Tiger Woods. The highlight of my day was when I was standing around near the Presidential motorcade. Secret Service men all over me. Then Clinton started to walk towards his car. I was standing there in with a small group. And a few people started calling out, "President Clinton, President Clinton." The president turned over and started walking over us. Secret Service people were all around us. I was the only brown person there. I had two secret service people really close to me. He started shaking hands. I extended mine. And right there, President Clinton shook my hand. I was thrilled. I was amazed. I respect Bill Clinton a lot. I always knew he was tall. But his skin was kind of hanging off his chin. But I know he was going through a lot of stress at this time. This was when his popularity rating was one of the lowest with the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal. Last edited: 18-Oct-11 01:02 PM

Grace_S · Oct 18, 2011 12:07 PM

Writing this story: 'The Last King of Nepal' was one of the things in my bucket list. http://sajha.com/sajha/html/in... In many ways, I guess I am almost writing this story not for our generation or even my son's generation but rather for my grandson's generation and afterwards. I am trying to capture the mood that guys like you and I feel today about Nepal and the king's of the past. In many ways, we are witnessing a very dramatic transition in Nepal's history today--end of monarchy and beginning of democracy. Nepal will never go back to being a monarchy again. I am trying to capture the unique mood that we are living today in this story so that the Nepalese who come generations after us might get as accurate picture as possible of both the past history of Shah Kings, but also of the opinion of guys like you and I and how we saw the Kings of the past. Certainly our view point today in the year 2011 of the Shah Kings will be as important for the children 50 to 70 to 100 years from now to know. Is it not? Over time history is lost because facts that are not recorded are lost. So it is up to guys like you and I to document whatever quirks and idiosyncracies about the historical figures of our time. To the degree that Nepalese of the past took the time to do that, you and I have a knowledge of history. And to the degree that you and I take the time to write history as accurately and entertainingly as possible, the future generations of Nepalese will have knowledge of their identity and roots. My aim through this story is to be able to do my little part to contribute towards making Nepal's history a little more accessible to coming generations. I don't know how successful I will be in this aim. But I am trying. And with blessing and support of guys like you, I know I will be able to do at least something little for my country. And if I can do that, I will be able to hold my head a little higher in calling myself a Nepali. Jaya Nepal!  One thing crossed off my bucket list.
