Feeling philosophic right now!

So what is it that you desire the most in life? Money? Power? Fame? Happiness? Good food? Great travel? Love? None of the earlier? All of the earlier? Something entirely different? ... Or wait, are you the sorts, like me, who just can't figure out what they want the most in life!

While I was trying to find an answer to this 'very philosophic' question the other day, I wondered how is it that so many people know it so naturally that they want 'a red coloured dress with a golden dupatta and copper-coloured peep-toes with it', whereas all I seem to know about my wanting is... 'I want clothes'! (Not to forget mentioning the fact that I don't think such detailed-to-the-T people do any better in looking pretty than I do!!!!)

Then I thought, may be, a simple way to decode a valid and justifiable answer for 'what do I desire most in life' would be in answering 'What is the one thing I could die or kill someone for?"... ummmm.. truth be told, there is a list of things (at least 10 that I can count in one breath right now) for which I could go to the extent of killing somebody. And, there is quite an exhaustive list things for which I could die!

Is there anybody, anybody at all, who lacks clarity on this subject like I do? Anybody who makes statements about what they desire, dream and wish for.. and then secretly wonder, 'what difference would all those things make to me anyway?'.

To me, it seems like I am a victim of ever-shifting internal goal posts! But man, it's alright... I shall tame my senses some day!

Introduction 101

I am definitely not a first time blogger, I just buried five of my previous blogs with over 500 posts combined. Hard as it was (especially to bid adios to my main blog of the past five years) I had been contemplating doing it, because I am in a new phase of my life and there's simply no need to carry skeletons, most of which don't make sense any more, along.

Well, the excitement level is top-of-the-chart today, because (I'm sure like most other active bloggers) I am can't stop thinking about how much joy and fun this new one's going to bring. I am listing out in my head what all I will write about, contemplating if photographs should be added or not, thinking if I am going to write fiction/philosophy/reality. But one thing's straight and sure - I intend to have lots of fun, and hence the "witty" in the blog url. Also, I am not going to stop myself from the "wild" child that I am.

However, it's hard to transport the over-a-dozen followers I had on my last blog, and since I don't want to connect the two, I am going to really have to start from scratch and find new blog-buddies, not to get them to comment on what I write, but to create an ecosystem that's attractive enough for me to want to come back to this space and read-write-think.

BTW, this morning I made a resolution to become absolutely non-judgemental about people. I used to be like that, but I don't know where I lost that skill. But, I am going to gain it back and I am going to become this pure soul with NO negative thoughts about anyone, at least not until they do me any physical harm. (It's gonna be terribly hard because I have flashes of people who I absolutely hate running through my head and I don't think there's anyway I can forgive them... But then, may be I should try forgetting!)
