wish…

What do you wish for, you know generally? Have any of your wishes come true?
No, I am not talking about a great family, husband, kids, health… No.
I am talking about a job, a dress, a car, a date, appreciation, a good grade… ( you get the drift)

Have you wished for something so badly, that when you see it coming true, it scares you badly and you just feel, just for a moment, it doesn’t come true NOW, but sometime later so that you could just hold on to the hope of that wish and work towards making that wish come true?

Wish generally means, a hope or desire for something, to acquire something…

Wish is defined as :

 

 

1. to want; desire; long for (usually fol. by an infinitive or a clause): I wish to travel. I wish that it were morning. 

 

 

2.to desire (a person or thing) to be (as specified): to wish the problem settled.

 

 

3.to entertain wishes, favorably or otherwise, for: to wish someone well; to wish someone ill.

 

 

4.to bid, as in greeting or leave-taking: to wish someone a good morning.

 

 

5.to request or charge: I wish him to come.

 

Is  that how you would define it too?
Is a wish, a hope? Some kind of faith that you hold on to  or work towards?
What do you think?
Please do share your thoughts…  :)
Thank you!

    yep! But my wishes are mostly foolproof :) Say if I wish for a certain grade, somewhere at the back of my mind I know I am gonna getting that grade, so the wish is just making sure I dont get something below it.
    Sounds confusing? Sorry!
    :(

      :D
      G, I totally get what you are saying!! I have done that so many times, and still felt thrilled when I get whatever I have wroked for!! :) :)

  2. 2009 November 19

    I can not define it but yes my wishes have come true many a times!!!

    One got true yesterday only!!! Guess am plain lucky *touchwood* :)

    sigh only if all wishes come true the world would be a different place my dear

    but yes some wishes have surely come true I personally think and believe that there are always some wishes which come true and some dont and that is how a balance is created

    if all wishes were to come true then there would be no charm to it what say?

    • 2009 November 20

      I agree Monu. We do need some balance in the Wish department as well! ;)

      So nice to see you back here and commenting!
      Welcome back!! {{{hugs}}}

    yupe..wishes for me are the wants / needs that i wanna see come true…but just wishing / hoping won’t help now, will it? :D …we need to work for it along with wishing for it :D

    • 2009 November 20

      totally!
      Simply wishing and keeping quiet won’t work at all! :D :D

    6th!!
    Nice post, Pix. Made me think a lot.
    Sometimes, I wish for something, but like you said, I also wish it does not come true immediately. So that way, I have something to aspire for!

    • 2009 November 20

      Pallu, is 6th the new 1st?!! :P :P

      Yea.. I know what you mean :)

  7. 2009 November 20

    My wishes almost never come true! :(

    Agree with titaxy,you have to strive for it! :D

    Now am waiting for the genie to grant me three wishes :mrgreen:

    • 2009 November 20

      Ah! the genie and the 3 wishes!! Me too waiting for a day like that!! :P

  8. 2009 November 20

    My wishes have mostly come true, except for one major one ;) There is always sweetness in anticipating.

  9. 2009 November 20

    Wishes… well.. its twisted for me … things turns out the opposite way for a while just to taunt me and then when i think of asking it to take a hike, it falls in line :D … almost predictable now :)

    • 2009 November 20

      :roll:

      You told your wish to take a hike?!! :P
      Only you could say something like taht and make sure the wish comes true!!! :twisted:

  11. 2009 November 20

    A wish is sometimes a regret in disguise. Did you know that?

  12. 2009 November 20

    For me, wishes are temporary desires… some come true.. some dont… but u shud never stop wishing! :)

    to wish for something and see it realise is what most of us desire. your post has brought back Harivanshrai Bachan’s quote “agar mann ka ho to acha hai, aur agare mann ki na ho to aur bhi acha hai ” this says it all …if our wishes don’t come true there is something even more beautiful waiting around the corner.. such is life :)

    • 2009 November 20

      That was profound :)
      Yes, I agree on that when you say “there is always something better waiting for us”

      • 2009 November 20

        hey both your DPs look similar. Don’t they?

  15. 2009 November 20

    They say be sure what you ask/wish for, because they might come true. The process of having anything in life starts with a simple wish :)

    During my shift from Hyd to Chennai, I’ve become a half-gyani !!! :lol:

    Whenever I wish that something shld happen, I dont ponder on it for long. The more longer you think about it, it becomes difficult to accept defeat or disappointment.

    Wish for it. Leave it at that stage. But dont stop working for that wish to come true. Sounds confusing ?????? Your focus shld be on working on making that wish come true rather than simply wishing every second for a miracle to happen. Is that better ?????

    I use wishes like facts too. I wish for something then try to work to reach it. Except when I’m being too unreasonable! Or lazy! Which is quite often:(

  18. 2009 November 20

    Making a wish involves hope, imagination and even courage to make those dreams a reality.

  19. 2009 November 21

    Why would you wish for something and then worry about it coming true?

    Never happened to me but it is an interesting possibility….

    I’ll have to think some more about this.

    Right now, just marking my attendance here! :D

  20. 2009 November 21

    I have way too many wishes… so I guess the Gods wont listen to me… I m toooo greedy ! :|

    • 2009 November 21

      He aint capable enough to fulfill my wishes !! :P

        which ones? the Angelina Jolie and Katrina Kaif ones? ;)

  21. 2009 November 21

    Wish for sure is always something u feel u do not have… and then u thought it’s best for u to have it… Personally for me I have never known what i actually want.. and hence i dont know whether my wishes have come true :P

    is wish and hope are 2 diff. things???

    sometimes I wish and sometimes it becomes true too…

  23. 2009 November 23

    Most of the time i forget what i wished for and when i get it than i rememeber that i wished for it.

  24. 2009 November 25

    Well, they say ‘if wishes were horses, beggars would ride’, not that I have anything against beggars, to each his own. To think about it, my wishes are normally one day kinda things, like I wish in the morning that I get time in the evening to try out that new recipe. Or I wish I could wind up the grocery shopping today and not drag it until the weekend. Quite mundane actually, sort of wishing in black and white, no fancy colors here. And I get a kick if they come true!!
