Now,if had Sabrina’s fingers what would I do? Umm, let’s see where to begin. Ha! First and foremost I’d convert Sabrina’s broom to a flying bullet on which I could whisk off to any place. Whenever I’m hungry, I’d just snap my fingers and stuff from my favorite restaurants would be delivered at my doorstep. I’m sick of people telling me “Sorry madam, we do not deliver in that area.” Or “Sorry madam, you must order for atleast Rs400 for door delivery”. Imagine having “Pav-bhaaji” delivered at 99 Vasantha nagar directly from Mumbai and imagine if I could poof off whatever tasty stuff Dhir cooks… Ah! What a blissful thought. With those magic fingers I could get my clothes to expand to my size without having to buy new ones, or say if I like a tee and want it in a specific color I could do that too. Wow this is exciting! I could magic the book I read to loft in the air and get it to flick the pages when I’m done reading. Saves me a lot of neck and finger trouble. And oh, I could magic tickets for any concert, match or movie too… Umm I think I’m getting a little ambitious here. But what the hell, it is my imagination at work here.
A wishing well, alladin’s lamp ,cinderella’s slippers are all a part of the childhood fantasy where you dream of whipping up a lovely silk gown like that of snow-white or probably stack up all those frisbee collectibles from bournvita to beat your neighbor kid. The kid in me might have gone, but the adult still wishes for Sabrina’s fingers, if only I could have them!
