Three Wishes

Imagine this: "God or someone with supreme power suddenly appears in front of you happy to grant you three wishes. However the three wishes have to be realistic, nothing abstract. What I mean is, you can ask for lots and lots of money but you cannot ask for Happiness. But wait there is one more constraint!!! Mr God is in real hurry and you just have a few seconds to make the wishes. So what would be your three wishes???"
Have you already thought of the wishes??? I have often given this "case study" to my friends and now I present the same to you all my dear readers. I know the case study is old, something you have heard of, in those innumerable folk tales, and the mythological stories. But what intrigues me to think is the fact that individuals has so much to demand, so much greed, so much wants in their life what exactly would the lucky fellow ask. I have put the constraint of asking for realistic things, and less time to think, just to make things more intriguing. Perhaps Maslow's hierarchy of needs would be perfectly reflected in the wishes the person makes. Let me not get into the prediction game of what the demands would be across socio-economic classes. Rather let me write in my wants. Of course the constraint of time does not apply to me, for I have spent so much time thinking on this matter and anticipating someday somebody powerful would be granting me such wishes.
Remember Goopi Bagha, the eternal Upendrakishore characters, immortalized by Satyajit Ray (Well the "long" description is for the non bengali readers who would like to know more on them)?? Somehow I see myself making almost similar wishes as they made (to the king of ghosts: for further referral). Let me list:
1) Perennial supply of good food and clothes
2) Ability to move from place to place in a flash (Teleporting)
3) Great musical skill: To mesmerize people with their singing and instrumental abilities.
Let me tell you these characters in the story/movie are poor. So the writer: Upendrakishore certainly did follow Maslow's principal in a different sense. Look at the order the first want is basic need, then comes desire and last comes creativity. It is perfect. He never read about Maslow. This shows that Indians don't need American bookish principles to understand humans, the principles are already embedded in the thinking of the Indian people. Well for me I would make the last two wishes. And the third wish would be to wipe out all kinds of viruses from the society. I got a little figurative over here. Well I would ask him to remove all bad elements from the society. And if I am allowed to be a little abstract I would ask him to remove all those chemical imbalances, hormones from the human body that make people selfish, hypocrite, & greedy. (Perhaps that would help God from not making any more of these three wishes, for people would not have any thing to ask).
So my dear friends delve deep on your three wishes, who knows if someday the situation happens to you, you must have your wishes ready, for the time constraint would be there and you only have three wishes to pave your way to bliss. :)
