Wish.. we all do.. for different things – more money, a better life, that prized job, with which we think our life would become a little better than what it is now, momentarily or for a lifetime… and like always, we forget what has been granted to us without asking, and what we have taken for granted…
a loving set of parents, a good education,food when we are hungry, shelter when we need it, a lifestyle that is comfortable, money to take care of our needs, all senses intact, a couple of arms and a couple of legs, enough of thinking ability to enjoy a good book, a taste for good music and good food..
and while taking this for granted we also assume a lot of things – from the newspaper and milk being delivered in the morning to our surviving the day… that we will not fall sick, that the vehicle will not conk, that nothing will rock our personal or professional boat, that a natural disaster will not befall our peaceful existence, that we have all this because we deserve to…..
and also in between there are some moments when we take a look out of our coccooned world, and see others’ version of reality, a life where survival itself is the biggest victory, and then we wonder… at least for sometime..
until next time, what if you could grant wishes…..

If wishes were true… pigs would fly.. but it still does not stop us from wishing
prerona: hmmm, i guess some of us think and some of us do… i have learnt that when we feel that strong emotion, we should contribute then and there.. the moment we start rationalising, it becomes a lost cause…
pallavi: for us, or others??
