Someone once told me –
Be careful what you wish for coz you might get it all…
I wish for it to be true…
My wish list…
a smile, mountains, a close friend, a lover for the night, late night conversations, stolen kisses, family trips, red shoes, polka dots, a surprise party, free phone calls, films, rock concert, skinny dipping, rainy night, guitar, hand written letters, fist fights, French tips, contradictions…

Ajit (a.k.a. ‘The Relentless Optimist’) begs to point out:
> a smile,
May you catch it on your boss’s face as he/she/it catches you sneaking in late...
>a close friend,
Oh absolutely, nothing like a sweaty arm draped around your shoulder on a sweaty monsoon night...
>late night conversations,
May you be blessed with wrong numbers at three in the morning...
>family trips,
Nothing like a nephew retching into your lap as he gets car-sick, and you know that the nearest halt is hours away...
>polka dots,
The kind that you find whirling in front of your eyes after banging into a door?
>a surprise party,
On your birthday. Chez vouz. With guess who left to vacuum the carpet the next (hangover-ridden) morning.
free phone calls,
>Yup. People calling up to offer free insurance, free credit cards, free trips if they can take up just five minutes of your time...
>films,
Endless showings of — dare I say it — Jhoom Barabar Jhoom?
>rainy night,
And a flat tyre? On Ring Road with motorists whose snarls cannot be heard over their impatient honking?
>guitar,
You have, obviously, never been exposed to my musical talents. Or the lack thereof...
>hand written letters,
Dear John letters. Mr. Collins epistles. (That last one is a tribute to all of you Austen fans out there, all three of you. Maybe four — but you have to convince me about that!)
>contradictions…
Why did God ensure that the people who have all the cash never seem to be the ones with bills to pay?
do i share a b'day with you dahling ??
@ ajit
u crack me up! funny! sure seems like u are not jus paranoid but have turned cynical too!
@ in exile...do we?
coz if we dont then u know what u need to do!
...and my wish list:
a book shop for myself
a cottage in the hills
a boat to row
lifetime supply of tropicana guava juice cans
a journey to the balkans
and...
...a lover to grow old together
wow mayank...i want all that on my wishlist too!
Er, Soofi, do you really desire a potted plant of a lover "to grow old"? Wouldn't you prefer a significant other "with whom to grow old"?
Ajit, you are not only genius, you are indigenous!
guys!!! get a room!
Ugh! When Soofi begins to get sentimental - or sedimental - I feel like being locked up in a nice padded cell, away from everyone. Hey, Constant Traveller, I think I finally got one more for your list! :-)
@ ajit...thats a good one...i feel like doing that to myself quite a few times in the day...like this very minute!
