- Fall in love
[Moon Shots]
- Work towards The Everest.
- Find out ways to impact a billion lives.
- Get to Rs. 1 crore in bank. Its still not a million but its almost 1/6th of that. A start. As of today, I have Rs. 11,942.73. Thats like 100x.
- Read 50 books. The list of books I want to read is here. Tell me the ones I must read. Preferably non-fiction.
- Make tunnels ;P
Thats all. Look a lot but it aint not too much if I remain focused. 'If' is the key operative here.
You know a funny thing? The list looks ALMOST similar to the one I had made in 2015. So, in two years, I havent changed. Or grown up. Damn, Mr. Garg! Just that this time, with age, I seemed to have mellowed down. Most of these goals look realistic now. Except the moonshots. But thats what moonshots are for. No?
And for the record, here are similar posts from 2014, 2013 and 2012.

P.S. Apart from this tangible goals, I sent this letter to a few friends, colleagues and mentors. May be you will find this useful. In the letter I talk about 7 things that could help life get better. They are making the most of time we have left, finding the muse, reading, paying it forward, living a mindful life, getting a goal and start saying thank you. Most of my goals echo these 7 themes and I will keep reiterating these as I go along!
P.P.S.: #note2self, I must do a hits and misses post. Like I did in 2016.
