My student life is now breathing its last few weeks’ breath. Estimating that I do start (or continue) a career that will leave me with surplus cash to spend, I am waiting to buy some items that I have until now been drooling at on my computer screen. Some are fairly basic while others are a bit…um.. exotic.These include ( but not limited to)
• An Ipad alternative
• A cell phone (hopefully touch-based)
• bike
• Tennis Racquet
• Some domain names (if things pan out well)
• Books (lots and lots of them. I have a separate wishlist for this category)
• A Stock portfolio ( for recreational and educational purposes 
)
The first on the list is something that is becoming more of a necessity for me. I have found it extremely difficult to carry along a laptop whenever I want to read some interesting stuff. And having a laptop also constrains me with the posture. And then there is also the matter of my eyes which become watery if I stare at the monitor for a long time. Since I spend a lot of time reading, it becomes a helluva problem. And Ipad though quite attractive to look at, is heavily priced. Therefore an ipad alternative. A cell-phone- well, it is 4 LONG YEARS since I bought a new cell phone and the market has changed topsy-turvy during that time.
I have been playing some decent tennis here and assuming that I get enough time and friends to continue this hobby, a nice tennis racquet is in the offing. Other items have been on my wish list for god knows how long. I had suspended them to save for my studies here. Now that my studies are done (regretfully) , I will be able to splurge on these things…. Only time can tell. But one thing is for sure…. The countdown has begun!!!!
