Childhood crazies and fancies

Or what I had and what I wanted for the effing love of the blessed life!
The first thing I remember craving so much that it almost made me want to curl up into a ball was-dramatic(and  disappointing) pause- to be a Witch like Samantha from Bewitched (remember that show?).I tweak my lips and VOILA magic!I also adored this playhouse that her daughter had-all wooden and cozy with tiny furniture.Harry Potter was nowhere in the scene then -or  probably was and I hadn't read it then.I also LOVED Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie and her little room inside the bottle-it's decor in pink and gold with persian throw rugs,cushions and other ornate goodies.

Can we say BAh-LING!

Speaking of magical creatures,I've never had any special regard towards with unicorns.But fairies?That's something else.I had a rather weird obsession with  Tinkerbell.I believed in Tink,oh I did and there's this line from Peter Pan that's my absolute favourite-"There ought to be one fairy for every boy and girl."

"Ought to be? Isn't there?"

"No. You see children know such a lot now, they soon don't believe in fairies, and every time a child says, 'I don't believe in fairies,' there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead."

I wanted a fairy of my own-not just any fairy,I wanted Tinker bell.

And oddly enough,I never prayed so that I could be a witch or have Tink spread some happy sparkles around me-I meditated(every day for 2 mins in my fluffy blue flannel bath gown).I guess being born in India does that to you- you inadvertently gravitate towards spirituality.

Among other fun things I remember longing for a tent in the jungle with a little gas lamp-hunched over a book,a sleeping bag lying in wait and fireflies forming a dome around the peak of the tent.And again,not just any tent- somewhat of a desert tent.My world is rather surreal- immensely real to me but may not be on the same perception of accepted standards of reality-and instead of being worried,I've always reveled in that.

something similar,except smaller and none of those chairs and tables  rubbish.

I'll also take the one in the movie The Holiday
