A Wish-List At Each Age: 20 Years Of Me
IdeaSmith, age 6
Dear Santa Claus,
Will you bring me a present too? I am not a Christian. But I say prayers in English in school and I know about Jesus Christ and Moses. I read about them in the Bible stories book. When I go home, I pray in Hindi or Tamil or Sanskrit and I also know about Murugan and Shiva and Rama. I read in Amar Chitra Katha.
Please bring me more books. Please make mummy like comics so she will let me read them.
Thank you.

Dear God,
Sometimes I think I must be mad. But you will take care of me if I am, won’t you?
I know I’ll never be pretty but I wish at least one person would think I was.

Dear Me,
You are my best friend…my only real friend. Thank you for holding on for so long.
This too shall pass and you will come out of it stronger. Just keep the faith.
Still, I wish someone understood.
IdeaSmith, age 21
Dear X,
Won’t you re-consider? Remember our old times?
Please remember…because I’ll die if you don’t. I don’t want to think of a life without you.
I never wanted anyone or anything as much as I want us.

Fate,
Once and for all, there will be no more mistakes. Never again, never EVER again will a man hurt you. This is the last of it.
He will pay.
There’s no hurry. Life is long enough for paybacks.
I want justice.
IdeaSmith, aged 26
This year I want to:
Eat healthy
Exercise
Take dancing lessons
Start the novel
Find love
Twenty years is a long enough time. From asking other people to make my dreams come true to fulfilling my wishes. There is a difference, though.
It is the difference between faith and confidence.
@ Brad: Actually nothing went as I wanted but it was a great year nevertheless. What do you know? I think I know what I want but life has grander plans for me!
A year has gone by…since this post. Did everything go as you wished to?
**I am just browsing through your posts**
“It is the difference between faith and confidence.”
So very true!
That was a gr8 post…
Lovely post..love the way u express urself..:)
I’ve know ideasmith aged 21, 24 and 26… I liked her at 21. I loved her at 24. I really respect the 26-year old. can’t wait to see te 28-year-old! I bet you’ll be my baby’s favourite aunt.
amazing poost!!Its lovely..
Merry Xmas!!:))
Amen!
Amazing! Menagerie at 26, agrees with Ideasmith at 26 completely.
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
Love u.
Loved all the posts in this blog. U seem to have written, alomst,exactly what runs through my mind. So couldn’t think of saying anything but ‘I Love You’.
I like IdeaSmith v24. She seems strong. But perhaps v26 is more resistant to the man-virus.
Great post. Think I’ll write a letter to santa, finally. Had this feeling he’d not read non-christian lists. 😉
good resolution…
(print acha aayega lolz!)
Trying to find love would probably be futile; Let it find you!
Happy Holidays!
awesome thought
its like one of those times when i feel “Damn why couldnt i think of this idea”
How can you find something if it does not exist?
faith with legs is confidence..all the best..may u actualize ur needs…
Love eh?
Ok, I am on my way!
“It is the difference between faith and confidence”…so true:)
