My Wish List

-
I wanted to create a wish list of my own and the blog guided me to froogle I asked for a cottage by the sea and it showed me paintings named so at nine dollars each.

I was disappointed so I left it mid way, the things I want froogle can’t give me and the blog doesn’t allow what froogle doesn’t. So I decided to create my own post with my own wish list, one that I can keep updating and adding to without anyone bothering me.

Here goes:

· A cottage by the sea
· And one in the mountains
· A month long cruise
· A trek in the mountains
· A night spend in the open desert
· Vist Leh, Andamans, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Israel,
· Bathe in a waterfall much like the Liril girl but without people staring at me with or without lenses
· Hear the open air concert that Leon mentions in Exodus
· Love and be loved selflessly, freely without chains
· Loads and loads of books, music and films to go through
· A magic garden where I could plant a plant from every place I visit and they would all live together in harmony
· Live in an igloo
· Have a lot of pets but not chained or captured. They would be as free to move in or out of home as I would
· Be able to say and expect the truth and nothing but the truth and not be ostracised for it nor disbelieved

hmm, sheer coincidence that we've both created a wish list at the same time? wow. well, the wish list was good, and would certainly like to add that if u dont want people to stare at you while you bathe under the waterfall...just take off...your specs!!

Wow, it makes my wishlist seem trivial and 1 dimensional.

Hey! Seventh Scorpio,

Am so glad to see you back, was worried that you simply disappeared. Checked your blog too but no new posts there.

Hey! Bugs,

A wish list long or short doesn't matter really it just shows that we have a positive and hopeful view of life.

hi! Sundari,
couldn't you guess? its an attempt at turning my sky pink.

Hi Pinku,

Good to come by your blog and wish list.

We share afew wishes.

What fun would be telling the truth if there was no music to face - it's the danger of telling the truth that makes it so much fun... ;-)

Which wishes we share? Many.

I want to go to Jerusalem. I want to wander in the desert and maybe sleep a night alone in it. Have loads of unread books that I bought but never got the time to read - would love free time to finish them. Want to trek in a place called the Valley of Flowers in the Himalayas - legend says that it is frequented by fairies ;-)

Phir mat kehna key response naheen diya.

Hi! Farrukh,

Yes we do share a few wishes. Have heard a lot about the valley of flowers. Infact this year a Indo-Japanese movie called the Valley of Flowers was also made.

I want to participate in a desert rally. Perhaps I will find you wandering there and give you a lift. what say?

Joking, but sincerely hope all your wishes come true.
good luck!!!

Some dreams

I started out in life with some dreams, a couple of aspirations and a few vague goals of how I wanted to live life. There were some do’s and don’t in my list of things like am sure everyone has. The most important of these was an attempt to live an honest, uncomplicated life. Honest not in the Gandhian sense of telling the truth no matter what rather in being able to openly do what I wanted to do. One thing I have always hated is the need for camouflage. I never wanted to be the prettiest, the best, the wealthiest all I wanted was contentment and the opportunity to be happy and make those around me happy in whatever small measure I could. Now at the much experienced age of thirty when I survey the scene around me all I find is a Mahabharat like battlefield littered with the carcasses of my dreams, aspirations, well intentioned actions and my goals …my goals are nowhere to be found. They abandoned the field long back, stealthily, leaving me to fend for myself as best as I could. I have ...

I have been writing about my trips on this blog regularly under the label footprints . So much so that part of the excitement of going on a trip now seems to be the recounting of it once back on the blog for friends. The trip this time was no different, since right from the beginning I kept filing away details in my mind and clicking pictures all with the view that it would get space on the blog. However since my travel mate Mampi is already writing about the exact activities of the trip in great detail I am not going to repeat it. You can visit her blog for details. Let me therefore share with you some snippets and photographs. It was Dalhousie that we went to this time. Famously nicknamed " dull & lousy " by the boisterous crowds, the place is a military cantonment and a quaint little town that was set up just 150 years ago. We arrived there in high spirits, the thrill of having escaped the mundane hectic lives we normally lead giving all of us extra broad smiles. A ...

A question?

Is this where it all started? This murder of brother by brother? This raping of the Motherland? We were fooled then, are we going to continue doing so for ever? Will we never learn any lessons? (Please read the english text on the image to understand where I am coming from. Frankly I have'nt verified the authenticity of this statement but I can't help believing that this or something similar was planned to bring my golden country down to its knees. )
