Wishlists!

Dear you-

On account of my teenage ending in about 11 days from now, my best friend recently emailed me asking for 'a list of your ten favorite things in the world.' The mail said 'They can be across categories and absolutely unconnected, but they should be your absolute favorite things..'

I gave it a lot of thought. I mean, it's tough to decide. However, after a little brainstorming I did send an email. While I looked at the mail again, I figured it had a lot of 'me' in it. Thought I'd very well share it with you. Here goes -

********************************************

Hey!
I'm guessing you'll hate me for this. However, there are two lists. One that consists of only inanimate objects or concepts like, I assume, you wanted the listed to be. However, the other list includes inanimate objects, abstract feelings and living beings too. So here we go -

The list of my absolutely favourite things
1) Time with you
2) Rahman
3) My black Labrador Snoopy that my dad's given away to somebody else
4) Books and Movies. A very limited set would be - 'To kill a mockingbird'(the book), 'Shawshank Redemption'(the movie) and 'Anbe Sivam'
5) Abhi and Shilpa and many others who've been really sweet to me. Touchwood!
6) Hugs
7) A cuddle buddy (A living being, not a teddy bear!)
8) Good food and good company together
9) Demystifying human thought and finding the meaning of consciousness

I think we'll leave one slot in the list cuz there might be many things that can vie for this slot and finishing this list might not give them the value they deserve.

List of inanimate objects or concepts that I fancy
1) A breakfast buffet with good company
2) A working mobile in your possession so we could chat slightly more often.
3) A nice chatty letter from positively anyone
4) Roller skates
5) Any book that is a good guide for making a movie or making coffee
6) A speaker set
7) A bean bag or a hammock to tie in my room
8) A bar fridge or a USB cup warmer
9) A good swiss knife

And then we have the most important thing - any surprise from you. I mean, hey, the clothes you gave me back then, I wore them out and stopped wearing 'em cuz I had outgrown them too much. So, my good friend, anything from you should be my absolutely favourite thing ever. You knew that, didn't you?

Love,
Prathyush P.

The lists are of course not exhaustive nor accurate as is the case with most lists with non-quantifiable parameters. But then, I enjoyed writing them.
