The next 5 years....

Yesterday night as usual, Jhango and I had nothing better to do except kill time drinking tea in Food King. The discussion as usual veered from his marriage, girlfriends etc to some more philosophical topics like "What do we want in life?"
To a simple and innocuous question like this I had no answer! Lest I forget, let me enumerate what was my response to the questions.
1. I want lots of money
2. A very good personal life. Despite all constraints , my father managed to keep the family so bonded and close. He devoted lots of time for us and literally held our hands through our entire life. The detachment has started setting in but I still feel connected and grateful. I will definitely not like a career focused life where I don't have time for my family.
3. I want recognition for my professional success.
4. Life is said to be lived in few moments. To have those prized moments, one needs to have experience new things, new emotions and live different lives at the same time. I want to be a banker, be an academician, work for an NGO, be an entrepreneur and what not. And for that I want some independence and an individual who genuinely believes in me.
5. I want to be seen as a person who is not seen as someone who wasted hist talents and underachieved as most of my friends think it's true.
