I want to...

(Well, I've been jobless and been doing a lot of thinking lately (especially after a conversation with Nidhi, on the lack of imagination...BTW, Nidhi...I'm STILL yet to get that mail!), so I've kind of reached the brink of all rational thought! Lol. So this was my attempt at putting down some of my ACTUAL fantasies and not give some jazz of the boring, mundane stuff that I use in response to standard questions... And when you're done reading...please don't tell me I've lost it...I already know that. *cheeky grin*)

I want to...be one of those characters in Enid Blyton's "Faraway tree" series. I want to be able to slide down Moonface's tree and climb up the faraway tree and see all those lands that sit atop! *dreamy sigh*

I want to...write a book one day! Full of blasphemy & an imagination run wild. ( And no, not like Harry Potter!!!)

I want to...dance in the rain on a starry, moonlit night with no one watching [Hehe...I do have a thing for starry nights (no, not the Shobhaa De book, you dufus!)]

I want to...walk barefoot across the waterfront of (a clean) beach, feel the water lapping at my feet and the sand crumbling under and not bother about the ickiness later (And this is where the cleanliness freak in me kicks in!)

I want to...have a strawberry field (Yum!!!)

I want to...live in a world that's fully telepathic... one where people needn't bother getting down to using the verbal/written word (now, that probably would not be best for everyone, but still it would make things less complicated.)

I want to be...magical! (Lol...now I'm going back to talking in a cryptic tongue!)

I want to...fly in space and marvel at the speckled darkness (without all the odious trappings of a spacesuit and an oxygen cylinder etc.)

And the last thing I can think of...I want to...sit on a cliff facing a sea on a moonlit, starry night (yes, here we go again) and be lulled by the sound of the waves crashing and be made to feel humble by the sheer inconsequential-ism(okay, that's probably not a word, but still...) of myself.

aah :) loved it all! Maybe i'd like to do them all too :)fantasies... i love starry skies too. U shud so visit kenya nanya! )wow that rhymed!!). It has the starriest skies i've ever seen. And i realised that only when i went there last year, and not in the 11 years that i lived there! have u ever tried lying down straight on your terrace and watching the stars with some music playing? Aah, its one of those closest-to-heaven territories!

Maybe to add to all the romance, u shud have your guy by your side on those moonlit starry nites ;-) (ok don kick me for that)

I got all dreamy for a while. *sigh* *gets back to methods to compute mass transfer coefficients* *wails* :(

Well...if I hadn't tired myself out kicking myself for watching Metro, I might have kicked you or maybe...not! You may keep your romance while I'm doomed to a life of singledom! :P
And don't get dreamy...go study!!!
And if I were to 'lie on my terrace' as you put it, my Mom'll seriously think I've gone stark raving mad! :)

I want to...

1. One day play the drums like Mike Portnoy.

2. Hit a winning six like Javed Miandad.

3. Have, erm, intercourse with Lori Loughlin. (Oh so what if she's a little older? Would you rather be Woody Allen?)

4. SMS at 150 words a minute.

5. Have Spiderman's web-power. How useful that would be to get something from across the room.

6. Mind-reading capabilities... So you know that the person who wrote you a sweet Orkut testimonial really wants to throw you off a cliff :P

7. Play the guitar with the melody of a Gilmour, the technique of a Satriani, the style of a Hendrix, the innovativess of a van Halen and the speed of a Malmsteen. Oh, and a guitar of a Fender wouldn't be bad :P

8. To 'wave' my eyebrows like Jack Black in School of Rock.

9. Write better comments on innocent people's blogs :|
