Are we on the right track?

Little over 5 years back, some of us wanted to play God, and create a new world. A perfect world. A world where 4+2 = 42, like it was always meant to be. A world with unlimited free buffets. And, it was to be called the Freaking Awesome Planet, or Fap.
But this idea was quickly discarded after recovering from the hangover. And it was decided that each of us should answer the following question instead - Where do you want to see yourself after 10 years.

And that, started the quest for self discovery, accolades, riches and babes.





Or so it would have been,... till someone suggest that the question should rather be - Where do you see others after 10 years.

And this is what we got:

version 1 (Me):
abhijit : in his own private hair saloon on his private luxury jet
abhirama : in MIT writing books on aoe
varma : in a buggati veyron version 3 
keshav : head in fridge , body outside ,one hand holding a burger , mind thinking of some girl ,ears listening to music,the other hand holding a beer can
dhaval : on his all new 20x20 feet bed with extra springs/foam/suspension and other things

version 2 (Keshav):
Abhijit : Lying in a hospital with broken legs from a car crash, ogling all the nurses.
Abhirama : Publishing papers after papers from IISc where he is now dean, academics.
Varmamoo : Politician, stops corruption, passes a law to sell comics instead of newspapers, nfs instead of cars. makes a fortune, spends it on panipuri stalls the world over!
Dhaval : C.E.O of warmly yours, lives in a house that has a driveway fitted with bathroom heating material to keep the tires of his new ferrari warm!
Me : Wasted!
Niranjan : Author of a dozen comic books and irreverent humour books. Also, financer, developer of the new SNeeST full equipped with wireless lan without session id's.
Harsha : Rich, fat, pimping around!
Santosh : Reading this thread and frowning at us all for joking around with things that are supposed to be serious.
Murthy : Rich, fat, still gathering up courage to ask someone out next week!

Well...
that was 5 years back...
If I were to do this today, then what would I say about - What would happen 5 years from now...
Lets see:

Abhijit: Widowed, Rich, Lives in a luxury yacht with his 20 cats. 
Abhirama: Marries a firangi, Joins NatGeo, Lives in the Alps.
Varma: Father of one, Wife Owns Veyron, Lives in a beach side condo.
Vanka: Converts to Islam, Becomes and expert on religions overnight and hosts a show on CNN, Known more commonly as 'da chick magnet'.
Dhaval: Gets Married and gets rid of his gigantic bed, Founder of a startup company,  Sports a 6 pack.
Keshav: Married, Grows a belly (finally), Has his own line of grooming products, Travels the world.
Murthy: Starts directing films, Gets voted - The most erotic mind ever, in an internet poll, Lives in Canada with his gf's.
Harsha: Marries the CEO's daughter, Professional Yogurt taster, Runs for Mayor.
Myself: Gets banned by buffet places world over, Becomes 300 lbs, Fights for Fat Rights.

Will this hold true in 5 years? No idea...
But here comes the abrupt ending.
