when I read "Indian Foreign Service" at first I thought it must be something like the French Foreign Legion, which is a military force sent to help other countries in war situations...i looked it up online and found that it had to do with Indian consulates, so...okay, you're non violent after all...lol

Hi Thomas,

The 25 things looked so ordinary..!
For a person like you, all the things listed are achieveable..! In my opinion, for a software professional of your calibre, the list should have had some more ambitious wishes. Once you start striking off one by one in the list (as you achieve these), keep adding more, and thus raising your bar every now and then, just like your professional competence :)

From,
A friend of yours...!
