It was 2.30 in the morning on a chilly morning of 11th Jan 1985 when i woke up first after a long nine month sleep in my mother's womb, they say someone held me upside down to assure if i am alive. Everybody then wished me to cry prove my first endeavor towards the journey of life, what a weird wish
Since, then the evolution of this topic began,
I cried and cried, over and over again, that time my mom wished i cud keep quiet for sometime, but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
When i started crawling, i couldn't stand on my feet, i wished i could walk like others and appear tall but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
When i stood up first time, i wished someone could capture that first proud moment of my life, but they couldn't,what a weird wish.
I had very few toys to play with, i wished i could play with a soft teddy once by then like my cousin, but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
At School, i did score well in my first exam however my best friend didn't.I wished i could understand his pain but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
During lunch time i could see my high class friend's designer lunch boxes, wished i could eat in one of those but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
I could see planes hovering in the sky always like free birds without any bars, i wished i could ride one of them as a pilot and give my wishes the wings, but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
I could see fancy stuffs in the market, which could make anybody's eyes bright with juices of temptations, but i used to hold back checking my empty pocket, i wished i could collect some currency in that,but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
I watched girls in the school - good,bad,pretty, beautiful, ugly, snobbish, lovely, fascinating,charming girls and more kinds beyond my infinite imagination hanging around with guys and sharing the temperate moments ever, i wished i could hold one of those hands once, but i couldn't, what a weird wish,
I played games, all types of games, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, cricket ,rugby, football and many more but never understood that life is the biggest game one has to play till the end,i wish i could understand it well before i finally did, but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
I wished time could fly back and i could score some more marks in my maths board exam in 12th standard and make some people feel happy including myself, but i couldn't, what a weird wish.
Now i want to grow, i want to fly,want to make all dreams of my parents come true, want to make them proud of me,want to own a car, want to go on holidays to the beautiful beaches of Mauritius, want to become the king of the world.
So many wishes to wish for just the purpose of wishing
Recently,
While walking by the road, i see a young girl partially bare.Her clothes tattered with little covering her soft and delicate body.Her mother collecting trash of all kinds to sell and run her house.That little girl weeping for food,wishing if not at least anything that could satiate her burning stomach off that intolerable hunger.I took some fruits and sat besides her,seeing me she smiles with an immense ocean of tears standing still in her glistening eyes as if shes found someone to make her get rid of that ridiculous feeling,
I gently held her hand and offered the packet of fruits to her,she first hesitated then grabbed it and finally called her friends who were no different from her.
She told them all about the person who had recently poured some rain drops in their prevailing desert like conditions,that's me
They all looked at me as if im a god on the earth, in ,i could hear 2 magical words "Thank You" at least 10 times.I never imagined this word could be so enchanting and lovely to ears.They kept resounding in my mind for long.
I wished i could do something for them at that very moment, however i couldn't, what a weird wish.
So i asked myself and to god after going through this one day,
If wishes are so weird, then why do people wish.
If wishes are just to get a token of approval of your desires from god, then why do people wish.
If these wishes are so selfishly wished for at times, then why do people wish.
And if they are really genuine, then why that poor little girl was so deprived of small small things.
I don't know if these wishes are good or bad, wise or stupid, selfish or kind, helpful or worthless, i really don't know.
Are these wishes a contradiction between one's destiny and karma.
Or are these wishes a self made weapon of humans to ask god whatever they want.
Or are these asked solely for the welfare of the ones we love.
And if we wish then why don't they get approved when we need them the most.
What are they and why do people need them,
And if they were suppose to exist, then why aren't those beggars on the footpaths become rich overnight when they wished for it everyday striving for food and shelter.
I wished a lot i could get the answers for these questions , but i couldn't,
but i certainly hope that someday i get to resolve the mystery behind this strange but mysterious word which has become an inevitable part of every human's life.
Till then ill keep wishing and wishing these weird wishes for myself and others!!!

buddy, this is just amazing. i had my tears on the edge of falling from my eyes. I just loved it. Even I had some weird wishes. and It felt that this is about all those untold things that are deep inside my heart too. in one word, GREAT.
ReplyDeletehmmmm once again terrific! esp the lil gal's part was sooo touchinnn.. its true sometimes we realy wished our wishes wer fulfiled the very moment they arose...but they dont... But they surely inspire us to work hard to its fulfilment n bring meanin to our life! Nice piece of work! Keep gng!
ReplyDeleteAbhi yet another beautiful work..of words...i really am left with no words too express it...the girls part is really very heartwarming....neat way of expressing your feeling n d way u look at life..n demands v have from it...muuacchh...keep it up dear...love u...waiting for d next one..!!!
ReplyDeleteRecently i proposed a sweet grl nd wished dat after wards she'll always b with me in ne condition but she refused nd i lost her...what a wiered wish....so i can understand dese wiered wishes nd seriously appreciate your post dat its realy nice..... :)
ReplyDeletewishes are always weired... becoz u hadly get any,..... nice post
ReplyDeletek,,, to ur rescue ma friend ,,, our wishes are a symbol of our individualities n d level of determination n trust we have in our Dreamz n wishes. . . !!!
ReplyDeletewhen u wish 4 something ,,, give ur 100%,, if a beggar wishes 4 a better life and on d contrary he too is constantly haunted by the thought of his agony n poverty then indeed he will reap nothing but the outcome of his focus,,,n thats a more miserable life.
Hence,,, """" A POSITIVE THOUGHT and FAITH in the fullfillment of ur wish ,, is the KEY to get ur wishes answered"" :)
