Memory Of A Wish (Keshi)

I don't have a BEST friend. Simply because I don't compare my friends, measure their value and put them on a numbered list. To me it's not a fair thing to do cos I believe each and every friend is unique and has their own ability to make my life richer for being in it. Every friend is a BEST friend in their own special, incomparable ways. They are all equally beautiful flowers in my life. So I choose 'Favorite Childhood Memory' for this post.

When I was about 5yrs old I badly wanted a guitar (yes I was a music freak back then too). So it was Christmas time and I thought the only way I could get one was by asking Santa for it. With excited anticipation in my heart, I started writing a letter to Santa stating my desire to own a rock guitar and I was all of 5. I still remember what kind of letter I wrote: Dearest Santa, I badly need a guitar you know. I'm thinking of forming a band and I cant do that without instruments. So could you be really nice and bring me one from your home...shhhh don't tell anyone. I have been very good at school and at home so I think I deserve one. Thanks Santa! oh and I forgot to tell you...I think my sister needs a Piano...she was telling me the other day. Thank you and bye!

So on Christmas eve I was counting minutes for midnight to come, and when I could go to bed to wake up the next day to find a guitar under the tree. It was around 4pm 24th Dec, and I was playing outside when I saw my dad parking his car. He got out the car and was carrying big bags of stuff...and I saw the end of a guitar popping out of one bag!! That was the day I got to know that Santa was really your mum or dad haha! After that I never asked for any gifts from Santa - the big ol guy who made us believe he's real and ripped my parents off LOL! I was so happy that I got my guitar though ;-).



And my sister did get a piano too :).
