Here's what R Lingeshwaran from Chennai would do:

1. Suggest a better hair style for Barack Obama.

2. Punish Osama Bin Laden and make him rebuild the Twin Towers.

3. Request Dr Manmohan Singh to declare a national holiday when I pass away.

4. Ask Kajol and Sharukh Khan to dance to a song from DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge).

5. Teach Sachin how to overcome pressure when he closes in to 100.

6. Play an ODI cricket match against Australia and hit 6 x 6 in a Brett Lee over.

7. Play the next James Pond, paired with Megan Fox.

8. Get all the black money deposited in Swiss banks and share it with each and every Indian.

9. Ask Rahul Gandhi to marry an Indian girl.

10. Build a pyramid for myself and come back to earth.

B Anupkumar, 36, from Chennai, would do the following:

1. Say YES to all telemarketing calls offering credit cards and loans. Grab them all.

2. Go around the world -- cover a decent part of this trip on hot air balloons.

3. Live in the Amazon Forests for a while.

4. Do para-jumping from the North Pole.

5. Call Ekta Kapoor and all other saas-bahu serial makers and tell them that their serials are evil. If they don't stop airing them, keep them all soaked in glycerine till they agree.

6. Get copies of all those half-baked philosophical books that claim to probe the highly childish question 'Why am I here' and burn them all. Distribute the writings of Wodehouse and Douglas Adams to all the people free of cost. This combined with Point 4 above would make the world I leave behind a great place to live.

7. Ask Bush if he really was THAT STUPID or it was all a publicity gimmick.

8. Join the Osho community.

9. Open a sex museum like the one in Amsterdam in India. Call the leaders of various senas for the inauguration.

10. Trek to Everest. Say bye to the world and do a free fall from the top.

And here are 17-year-old Hyderabadi P Swathy Reddy's ideas:

1. I would try to top in my engineering college.

2. I would record a song (written by me) with my favorite band GREEN DAY.

3. I would definitely study at HARVARD or STANFORD or MIT.

4. Write a novel or at least a book on poetry or modern songs.

5. I would work hard enough to compose the music (on acoustic guitar) for a song written by me (I do write few stanzas, but I have never finished writing one completely) and get it recorded.

6. I would attend a music school (maybe by taking a break after my graduation) for few months.

7. I am interested in wildlife photography, so I would try to click one photo which would win some award.

8. Take a course in fashion designing.

9. Take a course on ad film making or copywriting.

10. Finish doing a course on deejaying and deejay for at least one party.
