What will you do today if you die tomorrow?


Out of the blue, I beginned to ask some of my close chums - What will you do today if you die tomorrow? 
The answers were interesting enough to keep me going with the question among other people. I wish I could publish all the answers.

I have listed down some of the answers which ranged from indifferent replies to elaborate, enthusiastic ones.

Bandish Soparkar : I would live the day exactly as usual.
Niranajan Navalgund : I don't know. For someone who focuses on giving the best in every possible moment, the question holds little relevance. Right?


Pratyush Pahuja : You see all these people on the news. Murderers, rapists, convicts and you just wish that someone, somewhere would just end these sons of bitches. My last day or not, I would very much want to be that someone. 
I know we should obey the law and play by the rules for a safe society. But it's not working. What good is the law if it can't protect people? 
So, yeah. I would resort to vigilantism.


Max Pace : I'd go and take like 5 grams of coke. 3 acid tabs. Go shooting. Then, rent the biggest bike I can and ride it over a cliff.

Shashank Shukla : Die today.
Sri Manikandan : I will go for a drive! That's all I will do.
Eshan Kalyanikar : Go to Himachal. Just run!
Samaksh Wadhwa : Go on a solo trip to Himachal today!!
Lakshay Tewathia : I'd go sky-diving, that's all.
Kajal Sharma :  I would go and kiss Aseem.
Aditya Kanojia : Spend rest of my time in my mother's arms and die with no regrets.
Priyanjana Das : DANCE. Fall in love.
Chaitanya Kumar : I will drink coffee with my girlfriend on Sydney Bridge.
Arihant Jain : Live free without inhibitions.
Kai Dai : Stay with my lover.

Nivesh Bhagtani : Just stay close to my immediate family with all my family members around me. I would make them swear to not to mourn my death to psychological depression and would also seek forgiveness for not being able to make them proud and make their lives better. (Though there's not such expectation from them but I take it as my obligation for every sacrifice they have been making for me till date).

Sagnik Das : Visit London and watch Chelsea Football Club play.
Asmita Agrawal : I would probably regret my whole life and how I spent it.
Burhan Shah : Seek mercy from lord.
Mallhar Mohapatra : I would have the costliest bottle of wine and watch Chick Flicks.
Chittresh Dhawan : I will seek doctor's advice on which organs I can donate and donate them.

Shaurya Gahlawat :  I will travel as much as I can, wherever I can and I will eat everything I can.

Jyoti Sharma : I would go out with my best friend and spend time with my parents. One day is not enough but still I will pack and keep my lappy, hard-drive and my sketches and die with them. Lastly, I will pray that I get the friends which I have now and sketching talent, love for anime in my next birth too.

James Byron Durance : Probably go outside and forget about the impending clock. Failing the viability of that. I suspect, there would be liberal libation and dance.

Ayesha Parvez : Pray a lot, thank god for my life, spend time with my family and loved ones.

Sharmishtha Chatterjee : I would eat eel, lobster and octopus. I would go to Disneyland in Paris for the second time with my family and two or three of my friends. I would leave notes for them all and write a badass will.

Pranav Suri : I'd write a letter for the world to see, apologize for all the wrong I did, thank for all the good it did to me. Also, what I learned about it in all the time I had.
I believe that to have a legacy after death, it is important to write something worth reading or do something worth writing. Since, I won't have time for the latter, I'd try to achieve the former via my letter. The idea is do die in peace, with no regrets or agitation.

Bidhan Shrestha : If today was my last day, then I'd do things I like, go to a new place, be with people whom I love and celebrate the last day with them with a happy smile.
I'd share what I have learned from my life and my journey to this end point.. And say goodbye to everyone.

Lastly, I would hope the death may be quick and wouldn't hurt much.
Ayush Agrawal : I would record numerous video messages for people I love and send them to other people they don't know. And, it would be mentioned when that video is to be shown to the person for whom it was recorded. 
Like the letters in P.S. I Love You.
Just, videos instead of letters.

Mohan Vasudevan : Call all my friends over and drink wine and make merry all day long.
Gavin Rodrigues : I'll do everything I like doing. 
I'll live life to the fullest and try to fulfill as many as my dreams and be a good person and leave everyone with good memories of me and put a smile on people's faces.
Siddarth Rajikumar : Drive away to the end of dawn, meet and talk to a lot of people and eat different kinds of food along the way. Hopefully be on the edge of a lake or a beach when I would be dying.
Atharva Chaudhary : Do all the drugs and have a lot of sex and that in some music festival abroad.
Jeanne Bis : I would party like crazy. I would see all my friends, drink and spend the night with the hottest guy.
Antareep Das : Maybe listen to my favourite band over and over again. I will do charity. Give away all my stuff to the poor and needy. Listen to my favourite band and prepare to die.
Jordan McBride : I would face my fear of jumping out a plane bollock naked. Or a bungee jump.
Rony Kaushik : I'll go to Machapuchare and sit there for rest of my time and think about what all I've done in my life and who will be affected when I am not there and also if I had a few more days, how much soccer could I have played.
Shashank Kare : I would have dahi gupchup and kulfi, then talk to my parents and my friends and tell them how much I love them, and then just go to sleep knowing that I played my part well.
Prasanjay Yadav : I would be with my loved ones for the entire day like a normal day. Will have few rounds of drinks and sleep to death.
In a life, one gets a lot of 'todays'. Why waste them and wait for the last 'today'?



Shriya Saha : Run away and get lost in the mysterious and eldritch parts of the world.

  2. I would call all my favorite people and tell them how much they meant to me - especially my family. I would spend the last of it snuggled up with my husband and daughter.

  3. What an interesting variety of responses. I'd like to spend time in a garden among the flowers with nearby loved ones, laughing and telling stories. And I'd write love letters to everyone.

  4. I think quick messages to the family, and then blow my money on fine food and as many movies I have never managed to get around to as I can fit in.
