My list of needs, wants, desires and greeds


Prelude: I am happy with whatever I have now; I've trained myself to enjoy the smallest pleasures in life, like having a chocolate or riding a bike. I don’t believe in cribbing about shortcomings- physical, mental or material.

But quoting ‘Die another day’ lyrics, 'no one ever died from wanting too much' ;) This list is very personal in nature, it doesn't represent my bigger dreams either (business, to be specific).

  1. Visit almost all countries in the world (Switzerland specifically)
  2. Collection of Swatch and Q&Q watches
  3. Collection of sun glasses (not brand specific, but especially Aviator glasses)
  4. A Tata Safari (Black)
  5. Any or all of these cars- Mercedes Benz (S or M class), BMW and/or Acura RSX
  6. Any or all of these Bikes- One Sports (GSX 100), Bullet and/or RX 100 (or similar two stroke bike)
  7. A honeymoon trip to Wayanad during monsoons, (https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJFVWmPTy65DnxagyAQOZ00Trxd05dEwDKRkog_fEnxqV6eL81_0WV1HIselMjC1JdB7Gf2N9bMUBWaBnC3pUMAciw3nGkjCYi9MaKdYRSU7zOuFACY_pN2aK29K8mQDVtTE3vOcDxno/s1600-h/10.jpg) then to Kashmir
  8. To meet these people- Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Sachin Tendulkar, A R Rahman and Sharukh Khan
  9. Walking in the rain with music on whenever I feel like
  10. A single storey, but large house with at least 4000+ square yards space for garden and other amenities.
  11. Twin girl kids :)
  12. Good reserve of high quality cashew nut, red wine and chocolate at home
  13. Music, wherever I go (possible I think, trying to implement even now)
  14. A Jack Russell Terrier and an Elephant as pets (as a matter of fact any loyal dog will do;))
  15. Internet connectivity, anywhere, anytime (even now I am connected almost all the time, through phone or laptop, but I need a better system)
  16. A good pair of roller skates (or my mom should give my old ones back!)
  17. A private jet or chopper (even a Boeing would do)
  18. At least 2-3 acres of rubber plantation in Kanjirappally, Kottayam, Kerala, India.
  19. A trip to Manasarovar
  20. Pilgrimage to Mookambika Temple- One of my priorities
  21. Education- CFP, French Diploma and M.Sc Physics, if possible a Graduation in Law
  22. Learning these musical instruments- Guitar and Drums, Drums being my most favourite.

@ G3

I can ask for more and at the same time remain contented. It's a concept of working towards your dream and be happy with whatever you have and however you are :)

and yeah, great minds think alike, lets see ;)

'THE' Wednesday

Image
Obviously you know what it would be about, yes the big match today. Normally Wednesdays are like the half finished medicine bottles when you are ill; you know that you are getting well by the end of it but you still have to go through the torture and finish half of it. But this Wednesday, excitement is in the air, as India confronts our neighbour Pakistan in another head-on sporting battle. As we know, India-Pakistan matches are normally considered as the mother of all cricket matches and when it is the semi final match of World Cup, it acts as a natural pacemaker. Just like anyone else, I want Team India to win and it will be extremely delightful to watch Sachin and the boys (don't expect Dhoni and boys from me!) beating Pakistan in this spectacle. But let us keep it in a level where we can see it as a game, with pure sportsman spirit. Yes, I will be sad if anything goes against India in this game, but then we can try and avoid comparisons to terr...

"The green beer hashes onomatopoeia in the urge. Ailurophile fails after onomatopoeia. Will the expertise offend around onomatopoeia? The wonder renders the ruler. Ailurophile destroys the dirt next to the sober tone. How does onomatopoeia struggle after Ailurophile?" Before cursing me, or yelling "WTF!!" at me for writing the above paragraph I solely disown any connection with it except for finding 'Ailurophile' and 'onomatopoeia' from a site and putting it here . We have seen blogs/books/notes etc., which makes no sense but only noise and ultimately disgust through such style of writing (if I can call them so!). According to me, we basically write for two objectives; 1) To express oneself and to share it with a close group of people 2) To impress; mostly to appeal external audience, but the author derives some kind of satisfaction through his work, as people read, understand and enjoy it. There is a third type which is a mix of both, but ultim...

Fragile egos, failing society

We have failed as a society. Damn it, we have failed as living creatures. Malayalis can bury their head in the sand and flash their golden HDI card, while accepting that we are a morally corrupt society. This might come as a surprise, but Madhu would have been beaten to death regardless of his tribal tag. A majority of Keralites find it amusing to pamper their fragile egos by putting their nose in to others business. Ocassionally, this ends up in mob/group violence. Trust me when I say this, we are a coward lot if not in a group. We are apathethic towards stronger enemies. However, when we have our chance, we pound upon the weaker prey, and even kill him. You would not belive when I say that it is difficult to go out with my wife in certain parts of my town (Kottayam) after 7 PM. Young boys would come and peep through the car window, 'ensuring' that nothing illicit is going on. Madhu's case was a tad bit different. He was poor, moreover he was hungry. He had soci...
