Wishlist!

It's definitely not a things - to - do - before - I - die list. It's a comprehensive list of things I need before or immediately after a special occasion. This day comes once in every fortunate individual's life. It marks the beginning of a new chapter and brings you to the threshold of newer responsibilities and never - before - experienced powers. It is an awakening of sorts. If you still haven't been able to decipher the reason behind this sudden surge of enthusiasm, then fret not. Because the reason behind my delightful chirrups would be much celebrated by one and all! It is, hold your breath ladies and gentlemen...

My 21st Birthday!!

Umm.. I’ll ignore that I did not hear any drum rolls or crackers. Some people just love to kill others’ buzz. Oh and dare anyone blame me or an anti – climax!

Moving on…

NOTE: I’m only addressing people who shared my joy. Those who regret their indifference and nasty reactions may proceed after texting or emailing their apologies.

Because the day is so special (no arguments would be entertained on this subject), I have decided that it calls for extra effort on the part of my beloveds. So unlike previous years, when I maintained “I just want your wishes” stand, I would go a step further and ask (leaving all self respect behind) all my dear and nwar ones to contribute for my wishlist which goes like this:

1)   1)   Kitten: I adore dogs but I am a cat person. After Mao and Lucky, I feel utterly bereft. To fill this black hole, I absolutely NEED a cute little kitten (or two) on this birthday. Colour, breed, sex, no bar. This would be my best birthday present ever!

2)    2) Tattoo: This bug of getting inked had bit me a year ago. I have decided the place and the design already after days of research. All I need now are the funds (and permission from my folks!). I can imagine it and it looks fantastic!

3)    3) Mobile: This object would always star in every single one of my wishlist because I get bored so soon. But my maintenance, to my misfortune, is very good. To prove the point, I still use my three and a half years old Sony Ericsson K550i. now I need a fancier phone!

4)   4)  One TB external harddisk (full of movies): Classics, world movies, old cinema, latest releases of any genre are invited.

P.S. Lifetime free membership of a multiplex would be much appreciated.

5)    5) Books: I am surprised why it is on number 5! Anyhow, fictions by celebrated or lesser known authors make perfect birthday presents for me. I can devour books anytime and anywhere.

P.S. Consult me before buying any, incase it’s already in my little collection.

6)    6)  A Guitar pendant/  Charm bracelet: I’m not a jewellery person. But I have my heart set on a cute little guitar pendant I saw at a Disney store. The invisible sign above it screamed “Sukriti’s perfect B’day present” with neon lights and all. Also, I so want a delicate charm bracelet which has charms symbolizing events or things or people which have influenced and shaped my life over the years. For instance, a musical note, a book, a cat, initials of loved ones etc.

7)    7) A popcorn vending machine: I love the smell of fresh hot salted popcorn. It’s irresistible! I have dreamed of having my own personal popcorn making machine like the elaborate and colourful one’s we find in hill stations and multiplexes, in my bedroom. I think it would make watching movies (the ones on my 1 TB Hard-disk) a million times better!

8)    8) An amusement park in my backyard: I realize that my wishes are getting very unrealistic and crazier as I procced but then if I won’t say it out loud, my chances of getting them fulfilled are reduced even further. And I am not taking chances! Well, my explanation for this one is that I’m a thrill junkie! I can spend hours in any amusement park taking the same rides again and again. The more dangerous, the better. And the feel of the park, happy people, bright lights, magicians, clowns, music, laughter, kids, lovely aromas and everything else is so beautiful! If fitting a customized park in my backyard is a problem, I can make do with a lifetime membership of a good amusement park.

9)    9) A Trip: This one is more reasonable and genuine. In my 21 years, I have never ever had an airplane ride. It is actually an embarrassing confession. I do have my passport, but it’s still unmarked. A little trip to a beautiful and remote island would be a wonderful present!

10)  Surprise Me!: Yes! Throw me a surprise party with all my loved one’s invited. Lots of dance and music and karaoke and lots of fun. Give me something which I never expected yet secretly desired. I have often maintained that flowers are a waste of money but then which girl does not like being pampered with flowers and chocolates and stuffed toys! I like creative gifts. Hand made ones always make me emotional. I love self drawn birthday cards. I wish someone would write me letters on my birthday. I hope to find my mailbox full of letters and cards and parcels when I wake up in the morning. I just want to feel special and loved on my special day.

It’s not really crazy. A bit silly though, but mostly simple. It’s a well thought out list of my most desired wishes. And I guarantee that the return gifts would be even better!

So, make me happy!!

 P.S. Get working on it! Soon! :D
