This is what H Laksminarayan from Nagpur has in mind:
1. To go back to my first day of primary school at the Kendriya Vidyalaya in Bangalore, on the last bench with two boys -- Rajesh, Shankar -- and one gal -- Deepa -- on both sides.
2. To spend a day at Pathankot Defence Hospital where my sister was born to celebrate a sibling with joy (rather than the dejection I had felt at the thought of sharing)!
3. To spend half an hour on a lunch break in my school days, when 10 minutes were spent on gobbling the dabba, 15 climbing the mango trees on the other side of the grounds and 5 walking to the gate to buy ice golas with a ten paise coin.
4. To relive one week of our final engineering college days and pre-final studies at my friend's house, where our group of four spent nights together tearing the thick engineering books into four to study in parallel. We would jump the villa gate locked by our parents to get to the tea stall a kilometre away. I would also like to relive the day of the results and feel the sense of achievement.
5. To spend one week in Ooty, at the villa where me and my wife spent our first holiday together in the coldest season.
6. To fulfill the dream of my parents of seeing Singapore by taking them across to this place of beauty, perhaps sending them with my children.
7. To spend one day and night with the needy people of Sudan and share our happiness with them, as well as digest their concerns.
8. To go around the world's oceanic route by air with my children to reflect upon the marvels of science and the changing phases of sunlight within hours.
9. To spend one day in the role of municipal councillor of our city and break rules that can pave ways for the investments to flow in from the US without red tape.
10. To spend one day on the border with the Indian armed forces and experience bullet fire in reality, share their roti sabji and spend the night in their bunker, sharing jokes about the enemy and apni ghar wali.
