The Unwish list....

Hmm...Does the title sound interesting? If not,then definitely the post will.Now, this is about that eternal wish list we all carry with us - something that defines our ambitions,our limits,our dreams and our purpose in this circus called life.We are not really sure when we created this list,but for most of us it is somewhere in our 16-18 age.The 10th-12th board exams defining our intelligence (sadly in my beloved India it does) and suddenly many of us wake up to huge expectations of being engineers and doctors (and basically being money spinners).The spotlight sweeps us off our feet and we make one huge wish list(cmon,don't pretend you were never into this!).And sadly,I still see people taking decisions based on that stupid wish list.And worse,adding to it day by day.Well,as usual I have to rebel against this one dimensional flow. So here is my unwish list,or things I strike off my wish list today,realising I don't really need these and there are much much more important things to strive for.So here goes,at the risk of sounding like a saint:
1)The Mercedes Benz.Give me one guy who hasn't at one time in his life thought of getting this car once in his life and I will show you a guy who never shagged once for a fantasy woman.So this car is off my list now.I don't need it,swear.Driving is a pain in mumbai and I am in love with the autorickshaw now.
2)All the gaming consoles in the world.Well,I was almost there.Media,Sega,PS2,PSP,Nintendo GameBoy and was almost on my way to add the XBoX 360 to this collection.But sadly,I grew up,yup even I do that sometimes,if only much much slower than the average male.So now, I am off this.
3)Hotel food.I am done with this.3 years in pune and I have eaten as much stuff outside as I can and as varied as possible.I was the sort who was always game for food outside,but now,puke!!
4)A private library.Hmmm,this is not completely or permanently off the list.Maybe moved down the list.One book a month is the best I can manage nowadays with work and other distractions.So,a library I won't need anytime soon.
5)Loads of portable hard disks.I have a 500gb currently,and I don't know when I am gonna be able to watch all the movies in it.I think it will suffice till one of us is dead.
6)A suit or actually a life which permits and demands wearing it.Trust me,this has been on my list even before Barney made it popular to suit up.But,now comes the understanding that suit life would be slavery to some big company or brand and I aim to be free in a couple of years soon.So a suit I won't be needing now!
Ohh,btw,if you bored now for sometime,that I go on and on about simplifying life and making it unmaterialistic,do come back next sunday.I will come up with my modified wish list :)
