On resolutions and wishes...

Its that time of the year when I make resolutions and wishes.
Previous resolutions have included calling home more often, not forgetting friends' birthdays and acting normal.

This year calls for strong resolutions and dreamy wishes.

1- Weaning away from too strong addictions.
A few months without eating jalebi and I think I have shed a few kgs, had to discard a few trousers and buy a new leather belt. As I sit back and think about jalebis all over the country being devoured by afficionados, it kills me. I guess I wouldn't feel so bad if my feelings for jalebi s were under my control.
I will start by not looking at the MessMenu every evening.

2- Learning to love life for what it offers.
Once when I was in class XI, I was following a girl. And a streetdog in her lane bit me so hard, I think I must have passed out. Once I bought a 3-euro coffee at Munich Airport to help deal with my headache. I ended up with one of my worst memories about headaches. Never drank coffee in Germany after that, unless I was the one preparing it.
I guess there's a risk-return tradeoff in everything we do. You wake up in the morning, brush your teeth and hurt your gums. End up being unable to eat anything not on the same temperature as your gums. The next day you decide not to brush your teeth and your girlfriend kicks you away. You see what I mean?
I will start by loving my socks for not smelling as bad as my neighbour's. And still loving them when they stink.

3- Improving my digestive system.
It stinks. I don't intend to ignite ewwwy thoughts about bile juice, salad marinated in saliva or the first thing one would think after hearing 'digestion' and 'stink' in the same (smelly?) breath. Well, I am talking about my ability to hold on to facts. May be there's nothing wrong with my system except that it has been overloaded. Numerous secrets about current affairs, and other trivialities reside in my heart. Sometimes they spill over.

4- Visiting a cardiac specialist.
Heart ek hai yaar, can't take risks. I have miss-used it quite a lot, spent it on charming ladies too often, let it slip away unnoticed only to find it a week later lying drunk in chandni bar.

5- Never say never again.
Its a fantastic movie and I will watch it as soon as I can get my hand [or eyes] on it.


Now its time to enumerate my wishes.

1- Blood Donation.
Once in an adventurous mood, I went to a blood donation camp to donate blood. They put me on the receptor's line! Many a mosquito have starved to death in my room. Bro says I look like a shirt has is hanging over a skeleton. Its only recently that clothes of my size have become available in showrooms.
I hope one day they will let me stand in the donors' line.

2- Swarovski
Those crystals look so insanely awesome. In varied hues, shapes and sizes, they just take my breath away.
I hope I am capable of gifting one to someone sometime... or may be, anyone anytime!!!

3- Mercedes
Hang Kamlesh for putting this thought into my head but its so many years and I think it still remains among my most desired things. I don't know nought about racing cars, or even normal cars. But I do know that whenever a Merc passes by, I still can't stop having a second look. And mind you, very few sights are capable of provoking that second look!

4-Hmm.
Grand ma says thats enough wish-revealing. And I really want them to come true.

Aaameen.
