#Bucket List I have been making this list in my head for about an year now. It was time I put it down on paper gist. I have dreamed of doing these things in my life. Things which couldn't make it to this gist, despite being on my bucket list, are professional ambitions and some personal objectives (since it is a public gist). Each item on the list represents my deep love and yearning for it. Here it goes...

##Driving & Automobiles

1. Drive through the USA from east to west in a favourite car.
2. Drive an F1 car in Anderstorp, Sweden.
3. Drive a race-modded BMW in Rundskogen, Norway.
4. Drive between two cities of India, separated by a distance of 1500km or more.
5. Complete the Mille Miglia circuit in a favourite car.
6. Drive the Nürburgring in a favourite car.
