X, Wants and Desires

If you’re thinking that I’ve put that X there for some mystery purpose which will be resolved at the end of this post, you might be expecting too much out of me at 230am.

Its just that this post is about what people want and I vaguely remember studying this trio of X, wants and desires, I don’t know if the X is needs or luxuries. I never cared that much for economics. Nor physics. Nor math. Nor chemistry.

This post is not about what I don’t care about and how dumb I must come across to forget the basics of X, wants and desires. Well, quite ostensible it might sound, it’s more about the application part of it *Twinkle in the eye*

Really, what does one want in/from life? Sometimes u have a zillion options to dabble with, sometimes none. When u have a zillion, u want to take that extra step and check out the zillion and first one too. I mean…what buzo’s friend said about me the other day is so damn right. We were in the car waiting for something u shouldn’t know about. And he says, “So now that u have one more achievement, are u really going to explore this one? Or is it that since u have it already, u want to look out for something else?”

That certainly put me to some thinking. Actually that doesn’t at all sound a bad idea, of course, only at the cost of risking castration [from friends] or crying-shying [mom] or cold conversations [dad]. Personally, I don’t want to go thru any of those right now.

So again, what does one want in life? I sent this text to around 30 people I know good: WHATS THE ONE THING IN LIFE U WANT RIGHT NOW. And this is what it looked like:

Guy1: Pass my Karnataka Administrative Services exam
Gurl1: My parents’ happiness
Gurl2: Happiness
Gurl3: Sex, howz that?
Gurl4: Sex, howz that? [pl notice that gurl 3 and gurl 4 were together and its definitely 3’s influence on 4 speaking!]
Gurl5: Things to continue being amazing with my guy! :-D why do u ask? What one thing u want from life? I was in baroda yesterday tried calling u
Gurl6: Sleep! Home cooked food! Good friends around! Cooler! Did I cross the number limit!
Guy2: A brilliant diploma project
Gurl7- to be with you…that’s one thing I am sure of…the other things are still a bit hazy but m confident I ll work them out…
Guy3- a good laptop
Guy4- u become a big director
Gurl8- independence [we were to have a night out party at my place and this gurls parents didn’t allow, hence!]
Gurl9- U
Gurl10- ask for the happiness of ma parents and ma loved ones
Guy5- to be forehead to forehead with somebody
Guy6- Alicia Silverstone
Gurl11- truthfully, to just find an end to the endless arguments between my fiancé and me
Gurl12-I want to know what I want in life
Gurl13- I want my flight to be on time and safe tomorrow 
Gurl14- certainly of a secure future
Gurl15- a direction
Gurl16- are u alright? Hmm..one thing…maybe a successful career ahead
Gurl17- hmm…I wanted dal wada which I got, now maybe an ice cream. Yes, I want brazil to win!
Gurl18- money, lots of it
Guy7- What kind of question is that
Guy8-peace of mind
Gurl19- my final year results
Gurl20- I want to be a cabin crew and take control of my life
Gurl21- a companion, a hubby that’s a friend for life.

I’ve derived some very important information from these messages: In my knows-them-pretty-well list, I know 21 gurls against just 8 guys!

Anyway, gurl12 wins hands down, for the one thing she wants in life right now is to know what she wants from life. Mighty interesting and mebbe tricky. I feel quite the same actually. WHAT THE FUCK DO I WANT FROM LIFE? I go for an interview I say some dooh daah dooh they expect me to say and m there. I go for another interview I say a different dooh daah dooh and well quite almost there. Third, dooh daah dooh. Fourth dooh daah dooh. All the four things I am fairly interested in and have a liking for. All the four lead me to different directions.

So well that’s that. What do we want from life. I think no one knows. Or what they know is just that they want an ideal situation, which, from the lil chemistry I remember, nature doesn’t allow. I mean the ideal reaction or equation or something. Look into class xi chemistry.

For now, I am settled for option fourth dooh daah dooh. Will be quite a while till I write a new post on whether option four is something that I really wanna do.

ps- I think X is needs. I mean for heavens sake it cant be luxuries!
