20 things!

We're 6 days into my happy month already, once again after an year.

It suddenly feels like time is flying. 

And why should it not?? 

We have class tests, semester exams, lab exams, festivals, birthdays, marriages, marriage anniversaries all coming up pretty soon. One of the reasons I like months from October to December

Speaking of birthdays, I have mine in line too!

It's not a big deal, birthdays come and go. But I hope time crawls till 28th. Because 20 sounds too big to me. Feels like 1994 was a day before :P 

How old are you?
20!
Twenty? Viente? Zwanzig? बीस? Sach meinn?????

Enough said.
Here is a list of 20 things I wish for, on my 20th!

1. My brother to remember my birthday, and not Amma reminding him :P
2. Flowers. Because I like them.
3. Milkybar. Because I like it. 
4. Jesse McCartney in gift wrap. because I'm wishing this continuously since 2007 
5. Chocolate cake :D Because it is the best thing in the world
6. A beautiful hand made card.
7. A Birthday wish at 7:45 pm :) 
8. Birthday wish in 7 different languages :O
9. *This wish is a secret*
10. 'Waves' by Sharon Dogar. I still remember how happily I was jumping up and down with tears when she had written me her long, thoughtful message. I feel I have a lot in common with her. 
11. A 7-things-I hate-about-you list :P
12. An empty box decorated beautifully!! 
13. A hot air balloon. Because sitting in a hot air balloon is really cool.
14. I still haven't found a birthday twin!!
15. Fossilized animals. Creepy. 
16. Spontaneously deciding to go on a road trip. Sometime. Later.
17. Roghan Josh. Because it's easily my favourite. Also, Kehwa made by Amma, first thing in the morning.
18. My long hair back :'(
19. Striking up a conversation with a stranger. Because. Nothing.
20. Paint some weird thing up and try to sell it as "abstract art"

Up Next: Class Tests! :P Time to save the semester. Bye! :D

I Wish to Wish a Wish!

I have my own secret 'sunset place' at my college. I go there sometimes.
Sit.
Think.
I'm really in love with the alone time I have there, sitting near the fountain, seeing the sun go down. This
evening I was wondering. Something.
So, like every other person, I have some wishes too. Some reasonable, some not so, and some... well ... MAD!
I thought of some of my weird wishes that I never thought would come true.
I'll tell those some time later!
Unfortunately, as expected, life is very unexpected. Hopes too shatter and dreams too break.
Here are some:

• Ever since I was born, my one and only true wish was to become a horse. Sadly, when I grew up, I realized it cannot happen. First heartbreak!
• I grew up a little. I wanted to see a chick hatch out of the egg. I took an egg from the fridge, wrapped it in my hankie, Kept it on the TV (so that it would take some warmth from it!). And I waited, for few weeks. Nothing happened. Second heartbreak!
• I was 6, I started going to school. The teacher taught about trees. I wanted my own! I had very lovingly sown seeds of cherries. They never germinated. Third heartbreak!
• I was in fifth grade. I wanted to become the class monitor. Sad. 
• Since I was twelve, I had BIG crush on two people. I still do. I wanted to meet Zac Efron and Jesse McCartney. I still do :'( I wonder if I would! I remember I have two diaries filled. I have written lots and lots. I even watched HSM 59 times in 3 years! 
• In eighth grade, I had started making a tree house. I had made something like a house with a door out of wood. I have no idea where that something is now! It never got completed.
• I wanted to tell something to somebody. But before I could, she died. This became the biggest void in my life! (If only she could get to know what I wanted to say!) Ahh! But she will never. Fourth heartbreak!
• I want to receive a LONG letter. Really long. Surprisingly, even this didn't happen! All I got till now was : Notes from my mother, when I returned from school, "This thing is in the fridge, that thing is there. Feed your brother.Take the clothes from outside if it rains." That's it. Nothing like a letter I want. I even begged some people to write to me, because I don't know why I wanted to receive a LONG letter. But, people nowadays hardly get time to breathe from their busy schedules. Let alone write a letter! 
• I wanted to SING! But ... I cannot sing good. The only people who love to hear me sing are: my mother, some friends. Because they HAVE TO! :P
• I want to see a porcupine. Don't ask me why. I will, some day. 
• *This wish is a secret* :P
• Another one is that I stop writing stupid posts, like these. But that, dear reader is never possible. Either I find something stupid to write about. Or I don't find anything at all!

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

Strange, but true!
