How many of you have a First-List - The First Job, The First Bike, The First House, The First Kiss...You get the drift? ;) I have a mental "To-Do" list, which I like to "Mark as Done" with a punch in the air, as and when I reach there ;)
Some of my firsts have been highly fulfilling..like my laptop, which left me on cloud nineteen, or my first big splurge - 10k of hard-earned money on a cellphone..I still remember the feeling when I gingerly gave my card for swiping, wondering whether it was worth it :)Some of them were long overdue, like my bike. Though bought by my dad it was still my first :P
Nevertheless, I celebrate every small acquisition in my long list of "must-haves" which I have been listing since college days. Some items on the list have been re-prioritised, some new items have gatecrashed and some items have been obfuscated.
And I remember each of these Firsts - The Offer Letter - which was like a million prayers answered..The first big splurge - with the fear of repayment.. The first salary (which was joyfully spent on roadside chat for a whole month ;))..The ride from the bike showroom to campus..The wide-eyed stare into the shining blackness of the laptop screen..The awe at the digital camera, which is mostly hanging around my neck when am out ;)..The first of those innumerable whoops of joy at something finally working out and now to add to this list is -"My first trip to my dream destination : Australia :D "
Hope this list goes to grow and I get to strike entries off my list :P
