This 2007 :
- I don't want gravity defying asseted women.
- I don't want a horde of publishers knocking on my door to buy the rights of my NaNoWriMo novel.
- I don't want India to win the World Cup.
- I don't want world peace.
- I don't want to run into a burning building and save families.
- I don't want Ambani's State Bank Account number with password. Ummm.. ya, ya, I'm sure. I don't want it.
- I don't want to know who killed JFK.
- I don't want to find the elusive virus smashing drugs.
- I don't wanna be known as the 'Doogie Howser-esque' genius in whichever hospital I end up.
- I don't want to find true love.
- I don't want Amisha Patel any more.
- I don't want to find a magical ring with infinite powers which makes me Green Lantern.
- I don't want the grey hairs to disappear.
- I don't want the President to finally acknowledge that the 26th Jan Parade is meant to celebrate mua.
This 2007, God, for my birthday, all I want is a good year. Not an outstanding year. Not a brilliant year. Not even a great year. Just a good one for myself. If I ain't been good enough to deserve it, still, gimme a chance at one. Whad'ya say ? I'll settle the bill later. I swear on .. umm, you ?
And if you can't fit it in, just gimme an average year, ok. No big shocks. No more of last year's toying around. Just , you know, a blueprint from any other year would do just fine. 365 days of work and play saving patients and accepting that I can't save 'em all.
Either way, I'll understand.But if it's all written and decided already and the good year ain't coming, well then, would you atleast consider the Green Lantern Ring request for this year... it's would help heal some of the blows, methinks. Deal ?
Great post! Thanks for the comment on mine. Its true.. my cousing is holding on for society, and ironically, for his kid. How does a kid benefit from two unhappy people living together, I will never know.
ReplyDeletelike the post.

this way its simpler to get what you want

Hope you get what you want!As long as you are sure, that it is what you REALLY want!Warmest birthday wishes. (in advance--i know its on 26th)
