10 things I can't WAIT to get through.

(Okay, so that was supposed to be a take on 10 things I hate about you...but clearly, since I've had to explain it, either I've killed the punch, or you're re-reading the title to get the point.)

The tenth thing I have to get through is work

Even the Chocolate Muffins there aren't a perk

A couple of more months, and things will be fine

But that'll bring me to number nine

The ninth thing that I have to clear

And preferably by the end of the year

is My cupboard - which has room for but a splinter

Or else the woolens remain in the attic for winter.

And then comes my hurdle at number eight

The one thing that could probably seal my fate

My two years finding their way to culmination

The essence of my sanity - my Dissertation

Maybe if I managed to get through number seven

I'd really be in a 'curious tourist' heaven

To visit Jaipur, Manali and Shillong

and break out into a Maria-type song!

(Maria being the Sound-of Music-tra-la-la-in-high-octave-Maria)

And that would bring me to number six

To be able to cook without ready-to-eat mix

Edible enough for me to survive

So I can accomplish number five

Five places I absolutely need to see

in this CWGed spruced up New Delhi

To photograph and capture the city I adore

and work towards finishing number four

Eating would come at number four

where I'd like to eat, eat, and then some more

For this season brings with it Aloo Chaat

And immunity to experiment outside of Dilli Haat

The next one up should hopefully induce some Glee

as I set about learning to play number three

A muscial instrument to keep my mind off tune

From all the worries piling up to become a huge dune

I increase the music, go beyond gear number two

and explore the city on my car, that's what I'll do

before I decide to pay public transport a favour

and use my own road-rage as a life-saver.

But that will drive me to number one

which is a secret, won't tell ya till it's done

The jinx'll get broken, it won't come true

Then I won't have 10 things I have gotten through!

SO there you go. THIS is what happens when you put me in a room full of internet and think I will probably be angelically looking through information that would help me in my current/future life. I end up making mundane, narcissistic poetry that will probably not help me in accomplishing ANYTHING I've written about. But it's a date well spent. :-)
