Its Christmas time and last weekend I went to buy presents
for my boys. Early on in life I had shared with them that I am the Santa Claus
who keeps the gift under the X-mas tree we have at home. They were giving me
hints for last few days regards what they want, checking if I had bought the
gifts and making sure they would get it when they wake up on the X-mas day.
During all this I asked myself, if Santa came and asked me for my gift, what
would I want? After all the kid in all of us will like to get gifts and be
surprised. This question led me to think
of a list of probable gifts I will like from Santa. I am sharing the same with
you below in no particular order.
1)
I will to like to have a magic potion (much like
the Druid's in Asterix) to remain in shape. Imagine taking a spoonful every night
and all the fat & carbs are neutralized, love handles gone and I wake up in
perfect shape and healthy. All this for healthy body healthy mind connection,
good looks and great body will be incidental you see
2)
I will ask for a supply of all the bestseller
books for the year. It will be amazing to have them delivered and not search
the numerous lists that come out at the end of the year and confuse the hell
out of everyone. This clearly satiates the reader in me and not to even mention
that I will have an enviable collection of the year
3)
I will like to know the people who genuinely
feel for me. They do not necessarily have to be my friends but at least I will
know where I stand with them and know that they will keep me honest, and
contribute in my journey. It will help me focus in my relationships and not be
blind sighted. Imagine writing a name on a paper and a true analysis appears
for you to read and understand if it’s worth investing emotionally or not
4)
Santa should help me understand what happens to
the money I pay as taxes. Every time I step out of house I am taxed be it in
form of road tax, income tax, VAT, service tax, surcharges list goes on and I
am still counting. I need to know what happens to the money, who is using it
and for what. Also if I can get a say in whether I agree on the usage or not,
after all it’s my money dude!
5)
I really want Santa to lend me his Sleigh for a
week in the year. I can then take my family and friends around the world, where
ever we want to go and see all the beautiful places. I am sure we can use an
eco friendly means of transport contributing to Go Green initiative ( not to
mention that it will come free)
While I dream of my list and wait
for my Santa, Wish you and family a Great X-mas and a wonderful 2013.
