The Bucket List is a 2007 film starring Academy Award-winners Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. They are terminally ill men who journeyed together fulfilling their wish list of “to dos” before they “kick the bucket”.
Since then it was termed to be one’s wish list before they die. It might be superficial for some but at least they dreamt of something they want to do until their last day on earth.
I can’t remember my “bucket list” when I was young but here’s my list as of 2011.
Note: This list will constantly be updated.
