Last year at about this time, i put together a list of things i was planning to do back in India. Well, i am not going back home this summer – my first time away from India for more than six months at a stretch. So here i am, doing the next best thing, putting together a wishlist for the next few months. Tangible, material, no ‘purpose in life’ or ‘peace of mind’ spiel, i promise.
1. Alphonso mangoes. Because there is no other kind.
2. The Nikon D90. As soon as i can afford it. (Edit: Now I have lost my D70s and really really need this, but absolutely can’t afford it, or any of the other items on this list)
3. A trip to South America. i am almost 25 now and haven’t been south of the Equator (no wordplay intended)
4. Bottega Veneta knot clutch. The Madras Knot. Less keen on this now than i was a few months ago, but hey, the list has to have its shallow bit too.
5. Red hair! Again.
6. A meal at the French laundry perhaps.

Edit: I got some complaints about this post from some finicky friends. Ok ok, the lowercase i’s were intentional. It was an experiment, an (insincere) attempt to downplay the egocentrism that inadvertently creeps into my blog. But what to do, I know of nothing but myself. So I will stop pretending otherwise and live with it!

@kray: Hmm, three more months of gymming then.
@M800: It sounds fun, but am not waiting with bated breath.
@Sherene: None at all

Meals at the French Laundry, Alinea and El Bulli are on my lust list too
If you do visit the French Laundry this summer, do post a review.
PS: Thanks for your comment. I can’t tell you how flattered I am

On #6. Sohan (my hubby) & I went to the French Laundry this summer and were thoroughly disappointed. I can barely remember 2/3 dishes off the 9 course tasting menu
I have tried Thomas Keller’s other restaurants too and I must say I am kinda done with him 
Save your $$$ for Gary Danko instead =) Its so much better.
