Preeti is hosting a writing prompt "Wishlist Wednesday" on her blog justamotheroftwo.blogspot.in 

 And with this last prompt, the "Wishlist Wednesdays" prompt comes to an end. Hope you come up with more such interesting prompts, Preeti. Wish you all the success in life :)
 

This week's prompt is 

"I wish i could be like ________ (name of the person). This person is special because......" 

  

I wish i could be like my cousin brother, Vimal. Ever since i have gained my senses, HE has been my definition of a brother. We both are single child, and since childhood we have been there for each other. The best thing about our relationship is that we have never fought with each other (except one occasion when he scolded me), though we have had our share of pillow fights :D 

He has been there for me since childhood, to take care of me in school, to share his lunch with me, to protect me when some classmate said something to me in school, to be a partner in crime in all the mischievous things we did, playing computer games (meant for boys) with me (which i still don't know how to play, though i am an expert in crashing planes, bikes, cars etc.).

This person is special because I have seen him struggle since childhood, but despite that he has been focused and determined to get what he wants and whatever he has achieved in life so far, is because of his hard work. Today when i see him become a successful person, I just wish that someday I'll also be as focused and hardworking as him, even if i become 1% of what he is, I'll be satisfied! I am proud of him. And I'll always be thankful to God for giving me the best brother in the world. And i know, no matter what happens, whether someone supports me in life or not, there will be one person who'll always be with me and that would be him. :)

There's no other love like the love from a brother"

This post is in response to this week's prompt which is 

"I wish i could touch......"

I wish i could touch someone's life in a positive way

so that :

i can make them laugh when they are not able to find their smile.

i can motivate them when they get tired of fighting their battle in life.

i can make them feel good about themselves when everyone else is busy finding faults in them.

i can wipe away their tears which block the view of happiness standing in front of them.

i can help them find the meaning of their life.

i can give them a reason to live.

i can give them reason to carry on.

i can give them a reason for not giving up.


I wish i am able to touch someone's life in such a way, that even if there comes a day when i am no longer in their lives, they'll remember me and my words and find the strength to carry on with their lives happily.


And that day the purpose of my life would be fulfilled because as Albert Einstein said :

"only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile" :)

Miss You...

Dear A. N. 

            I don't know where to start from. We never met each other, never saw each other, maybe didn't even chat much but still you made a place in my heart. I always had problems in trusting people but you were the first and probably the last person whom i trusted without even knowing anything about you! I am still amazed how can, I , of all the people trust someone like this. But then may be it was meant to be like that only. You were my best friend's best friend but despite that you always took my side when i fought with him, because ultimately, you and i, we both wanted the best for him.

I always thought that you didn't exist in real life and that my best friend was playing a prank on me because you both were so similar, you guys used the same words, same likes, same behavior. It was tough for me to differentiate between you two. When you informed me that you'll be coming to Delhi, i was so excited because finally i will be able to give a face to the friend whom i respected so much and you no longer will be an imaginary character but a real person. But may be we weren't destined to meet. Our friendship was the best. We didn't know each other but still wanted the best for each other. Undoubtedly you are one of the best guys i have ever known in life and you'll always be no.1 on the best guys list.

Yesterday i saw you for the first time. I was waiting desperately for this day from the past four years. I was happy to see your photograph, i had a big smile on my face but then the realization dawned, that smile faded away and tears welled up in my eyes.

Its been 968 days since i got that news and 970 days since you actually left us to go to a better place but the people you left back will never be able to move on. When i got the news i was angry on my best friend, i thought he was lying. I was angry that he didn't tell me this earlier. I was angry at him because he was going through a difficult time but still kept me away from all this. I knew he didn't had the strength to tell me the truth because he knew i would be as shattered as he was. And he was right, i was shattered. The moment i got the news i logged into my account and re-read our mails/chats and cried whole night. I kept staring at your profile because that was the only memory i had of you. I used to re-read our conversations whenever i missed you. I used to open the chat box and write stuff but couldn't press enter button because i knew you would never read it. We both never talked about you again. We used to suffer in silence. Every year on that day i used to pray that you be happy wherever you are. I thought i had moved on. But, yesterday i realized that i can never move on. You'll always be special for me. I can't forget you ever. You were one selfless soul, who only wanted the best for me. 

We still cry for you, we still wish for you to be back. The day you left us, our happiness also went away with you. Everything broke, everyone broke and the condition keeps deteriorating day by day. 

Last night the three people whom you loved the most, who loved you the most, cried, and with us you also cried. With every raindrop you tried to comfort us but you realized that your death left a void that can never be filled and that realization made you cry with us because you want us as much as we want you.

Now after so many days, that urge to have you back has again increased. I can give up anything to have you back in our lives again. I wish all this is a bad dream and when we wake up to a new day, you'll be there with us, to guide us, to make us happy, and to set everything alright.

We miss you... You'll always be missed... Our lives are incomplete without you...Please come back. :'(

I would not say Rest In Peace because you can't rest until you see us happy and we can't be happy without you..


Remembering you with every passing second,
Your Friends





P.S. I know why you wrote those testimonial. You were testing me right? :) :'(  I passed that test then why did you go? You knew that i won't be able to handle things alone. You knew i would need your help and support always...then why?? :'( :'(  Please come back.. No one needs you more than we three.. :'( :'(

This post is in response to this week's prompt which is 

"I wish I had one more chance to ........................"

Many times in our life, we wish that we could go back and delete some events, undo our actions, take back our spoken words which hurt someone or just go back and re-live some precious moments. But unfortunately life doesn't give second chances.

I wish i had one more chance to believe in love and relationships - I don't know when and how, but somewhere in the journey of life, i lost faith in love and relationships. Its not that i am completely against it, i do believe in love when i watch it in movies or read it in novels, i do believe in love when i see my friends with their better-half/boyfriend/girlfriend. I do believe in relationships when people get married, i do believe in relationships when people call themselves best friends forever but i believe in it only when it happens with others. May be i am being too practical but its like love, marriage, friendships, relationships are not made for me or so i believe.

I wish i had one more chance to live my childhood - I didn't even realize when maturity snatched away my childhood from me. At an age when i was supposed to be innocently engaged in playing games with friends, i came face to face with the harsh reality of life. That single moment changed everything and transformed my innocence into maturity.

Since i won't be getting a second chance in reality, these wishes would not get fulfilled ever but even after that i am satisfied with my life. No matter what i have gone through, no matter what i have lost in the journey of life; I still, am proud of who i am because for everything i have lost, i have gained something better. I lost my childhood but i gained the strength which not many grown ups have. Struggles are part and parcel of life. 

If you lose something, you gain something much better; 

If your wishes don't get fulfilled may be you deserve something much more than what you wished for;

If you fall short of achieving your goals, may be its time that you put in more hard-work than the last time.

Its all about how you look at a particular situation. At the end of the day, 
whatever happens, happens for a reason and most of the time that reason is good. though it's a different story that we take a lifetime to understand the "good reason" !!

The prompt for this week is "I wish everyone loved..."

Love is something which is scarce in the world but also in abundance. Scarce because people have forgotten its meaning and in abundance because its still present in every nook and corner of this world , waiting to be recognized and appreciated.

We have forgotten how to love. When you ask someone what is one thing that you don't love/like or the one thing you hate you get hundreds of replies:
i don't love myself ; i don't love my job; i hate the everyday traffic; i hate corruption; i don't like my neighbor's dog and what not! 

But when you ask the same person what is the one thing you love, they go blank!! I mean in this entire world there is absolutely nothing that you love? Then they give answers like i love my parents, i love my siblings, etc.. Its good that you love them and you should love them but my question is if you don't love yourself then how can you love anyone else?

I wish everyone loved themselves. Why wait for someone else to tell you that they love you? You should appreciate yourself for what you are, for your looks, for every single thing you have done till date, for every battle that you have fought with yourself, for every mistake that you committed, for ever single tear you cried and for every thing that made you smile because eventually it helped you grow, it helped you become what you are and most importantly it made you strong. You might not be perfect but then, no one is. Love yourself because you are unique. No one was , is , and will be like you ever. 

I wish everyone loved each other. Once you start loving yourself, try loving people around you, because just like you, they are imperfect. Just like you, they are struggling in their respective lives. Just like you, they are fighting their own battles. And just like you hated yourself, others are hating themselves too. Show some love to others, bring a smile on someone's face, if you can't help them at least support them. This might not solve their problem but they'll be happy that they aren't alone. 

I wish everyone loved their lives. If you love yourself and people around you you will ultimately love your life. After all life is not that bad, all it needs is a little love, little struggle and lots of patience. Love your life and it will definitely love you back, may be not today but eventually it will. Whatever you do, be it your job; your hobbies or simply living your life, just do it with all your heart and you'll love it. 

Smile, appreciate and spread love, its the only thing that makes life worth living.. :)
