Wishlist

Wishlists are ...... tricky thingys. As much as they are tempting to one, and for near and dear ones to that 'one', they are also reminiscent of what one cannot get, how "need" and "wants" are different (and rarely, similar) and how it is as futile and as pleasurable an activity as procrastination. So much pleasurable and so narcissistic at that, but once in a while, probably they wouldn't hurt.

Just like eating Tiramisu once in a blue moon (pattern signifies my life, not of others) wouldn't.

Here's my wishlist, as of today. It won't be updated tomorrow, so signifying today has hardly any importance other than menial documentation.

1. Go to a sea-side. More specifically, go to Puri. I've been to many sea beaches, but today I just want to go to the humid, salty, blue and familiar, Puri. Not my eternal favourite Goa. Funny, eh?

2. Work out till you drop dead (no more word on this one).

3. Get a female friend who is your best friend. I so much crave this one. Not that I do not have female friends, and they are so good. But we are kind of spread out, tempo-spatially, with babies, with weddings......with jobs. I want one in the city, one quite close and one as crazy as one would like to go for coffee at 10 pm in the night. If the last sentence sounds surprising, let me tell you that not many females of my age remain so carefree. Everybody gets so darned "songsari".

4. Get drenched in the rain. Now, this, happens a lot in Toronto, (and when it's cold, it snows obviously) but I would like the tropical rains. Not raining in zero degrees. I guess I'd have to wait till summer, as sometimes, it does rain in here, like it does in Calcutta.

5. Watch movies for a whole day, doing nothing. And I stress the nothing part.

6. Go hiking in Banff.




Whoever says that wishlists seldom represent what we need, is a liar.
