Thats one helluva list. Really interesting.
//Posed nude in front of strangers
Whoa!! Whats that all abt? Details, please!!
Thats really shocking cos it doesnt go with ur (blog) personality at all
And whose life did u save?
I haven't done too many things on the list but I want to do a lot of them. I might be able to put points 11 and 16 i bold pretty soon.
and I so want to do this - "Adopted an accent for an entire day"

Slept for more than 30 hours over the course of 48 hours
Welcome to the club mate.
I have also worked on a strech for 44 hours...
At 7:39 PM, educatedunemployed said…
Whoa, that is some list dude.I think I shall do it some time.
At 7:46 PM, educatedunemployed said…
May be some day you will tell us about some of your adventures.Especially the life saving one.
At 10:23 PM, greensatya said…
Raj - Hehe, never knew that a blog gives you an associated personality. Yeah I did save someone's life. Not a big hero type act but a simple one. Damn unnecssarily raised the expectation.
Okay going to climb the Leaning tower, mind you it is too high. You will be exhausted. Keep a bottle of water and entry fee is like 16 Euros. Anyway in Italy I guess the entry fees are high everywhere.
Accent - stay in Germany for some time and you will get it and not just for a day :)
Do blog about your trips.
Scipio - Holy Christ !! you worked for 44 hours at a stretch. This thing should be included in the list and you should bold the 'superman' thing too.
And yeah, the bliss of sleeping 30 hours.
EU - Please do the list, if not anything else, it will be pure fun.
Life saving was not a great heroic act. Just that one worker was once drilling with a heavy metallic drill. He got an electric shock after working for few minutes, the thing stuck to his hand and he started screaming. He could not even say what was happening. So it was like that. It happened I guess 10 years ago. Now you would be thinking like duh!! :d
At 4:12 AM, Unknown said…
you only answered part of raj's question. what about number 60?????????????
you're a hero eh? that life-saving story is very cool. it doesn't have to be dramatic. i'm glad you were there for that person.
nice peek this gives us about you.

The list is fascinating.
I would like to take a ride in hot air ballon and visit Ireland One.
I have already booked for the Hotair baloon,some time in September.
By the way your problem about "Whenever I do 'italics' the right hand column of the page goes to the bottom" might be because of "template".
Your page look a certain way becaue of the template.And all the HTML or DHTML codes are not compatible with every browser.A speicfic browser might not support the certain CSS(cascading style sheet) stylesheet.my guess is that is why you are having problem.
At 6:40 AM, greensatya said…
Ipanema Girl - Hehe, I just wanted to be cool, so had done #60 as bold. ROFL. Haven't actually 'posed'. hehe
No, no, not a hero. Just that I found out what was wrong and quickly disconnected the power supply. The man was shaking for quite sometime even after that.(shocking)
And 'thanks' for doing the list.
Sharda - Wow, hot air balloon- those who have done it have found it so exciting. Do blog about your that trip in September.
So it is about HTML, DHMTL and CSS. I don't have no idea about them, I guess when this 'post' goes in the archive, the page will be back to normal.
At 9:31 AM, Unknown said…
LIAR!!!!!!
that definitely doesn't go with the image I have of you. ;)
At 1:24 PM, The Cat said…
maaann. this is fun. ill do this for my blog. soon. :)
At 3:27 PM, Anonymous said…
Nice list, definately one of the more interesting memes out there.. may have to compile one myself, too.
And as for the browser problem, I just cannot resist urging you to switch to Firefox. Looks just fine on that :)
At 8:10 PM, greensatya said…
Ipanema Girl - Ab meri baari aayee hai. There have been several things, which you never gave details or discriminated against me :) So first 68, 100 in your blog and then I shall...
Aaki - You bet and please do it.
Sim - Yeah nice list and I guess you have been including things like this. I have read the one in your blog - the about page.
It is high time I should get Firefox. Thanks.
At 8:34 PM, P said…
Awesome list..
Am going to do it sometime.. :-)
At 10:28 PM, greensatya said…
Perpsective Inc - Yeah awesome. Do it soon :)
At 11:21 PM, Koi Pahailee said…
what an amzing list
i bet you must have thoroughly enjoyed doing it :)
with your permission, I have done it too.
At 12:16 AM, educatedunemployed said…
I just realised that I have linked your blog to my post, presuming it was the only thing to do.Just now to read that you yourself talk about permission in your first line.
So, is it ok, or would you prefer I took off the link.Do let me know.Thanks.
At 7:11 AM, greensatya said…
Koi - Yeah, I did enjoy doing it. I am hopping onto your blog to read it.
EU- Well no permission is required. I am happy to have my blog's link in your post.
Actually the blog, I took this list from, is kind of personal blog of some unknown person, with lot of pictures of that person. So I thought, the person might not like the idea of people hopping in the personal blog. That's why I didn't put the link. We always link each other blog's without asking; it goes without saying.
Don't look read much into that line; I actually wrote to cover myself, incase someone thought, why I didn't link that blog as we usually do.
At 7:30 AM, educatedunemployed said…
Phew!Thanks..:)
At 2:37 PM, XVSA013 said…

At 5:49 PM, Just Jane said…
Came here from Ipanema gal's space...nice list and love the green color template! Helping someone and saving their life like you did constituted presence of mind and you came thru! Nothing minor about it :)
At 8:44 PM, greensatya said…
EU - :)
Mowgli - It indeed is, and I see you have done it as well.
Issue, hmm, should I file one ? You have good experience with it, so suggest.
The Chosen one - Hello and welcome to my blog! Yeah, there is lot of green color in my life. :) Thanks for those sweet words. It made me feel good :)
At 11:49 PM, Unknown said…
So first 68, 100 in your blog and then I shall
arre woh to maine aise hi bold ki..to look "cool".....
:)
At 11:23 AM, Twisted DNA said…
Very interesting list. We should hang it on our wall because it will constantly remind us of the great excitements life can offer and we should never get too busy to enjoy them.
I don't know what my wife will think about asknig out a stranger part though ;)
At 8:53 PM, greensatya said…
Ipanema Girl a.k.a Ms L - :P
'to look cool' , huh ? I already thought you are 'cool', aren't you ? so details please :) (68...)
Twisted DNA - Hehe, well one of the other purpose of the list is to let the other person know a bit 'more' about you. So I guess, your wife would be happy to know. hehe
Yeah I agree with the getting reminded bit.
At 12:23 PM, XVSA013 said…
which mountain and whose life?
At 12:32 PM, greensatya said…
Mowgli - Man, I was bragging. Happy now
At 8:59 AM, XVSA013 said…
Yeah ... hahahahah
At 9:08 AM, Anonymous said…
that's an interesting list! am quite surprised that u have never had a laughing fit at the worst possible moment! well for me it's like, it runs in the family :)
At 11:34 AM, greensatya said…
Mowgli - Good to see you laughing.
Twilight Fairy - Yeah, most people have said they laugh at worst possible moment. Kind of surprising, may due to the fact that I don't usually laugh in public. :)
At 1:25 PM, Anonymous said…
u dont laugh in public? matlab u laugh only in private? (madman)
or u dont laugh even in private (matlab u never laugh).
u scare me already! :p
At 2:47 PM, Y said…
Skipped all your school reunions??
And 5 or 3 days without food?? why?
At 9:15 PM, greensatya said…
Twilight Fairy - Hehe, I 'usually' don't laugh in public (over things which are 'not' meant for laughing). This curbs the propensity of laughing at worst possible moments. I don't laugh but swear in private, mostly on inanimate objects.
Sher - Long time no see :)Delhi jaa ke humlogon ko bhul hi gaye.
Yeah, I skipped all my school reunions (high schoool to post graduate).
I went without food for 3 days once(only tea). I don't remember, but I guess the first fallout of stress is appetite for me. :)
