**FIVE GIFTS: MY LAST WISH**
Five gifts that I would love to receive but never did:
**FLYING LESSONS**
I have always badly wanted to fly an airplane all by myself. The planes I want to learn how to fly are
(a) **Micro Light** airplanes which do not require any DGCA approvals or clearances.
(b) Helicopters: Small two seater choppers.
I took a hard look at some of the flying schools in India, but money and time were both severe constraints.
I have flown many sorties in both the microlights and choppers as a passenger and remember every minute of the thrills of flying in these planes. When I see Microlight flying programs on the** National Geographic** or the **Discovery channels **, my heart elates and soars skywards. I would also like to mix up flying with **aerial photography. **
Wish some one could sponsor my flying lessons and gift me a Micro Light plane.
**LIFE MEMBERSHIP TO THE GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB AT SAHARA CITY**
The **Sahara City** built over some 20 square miles or more, close to Lonavala, is a man made marvel worth a visit. This place is *out of bounds for casual visitors*. You need to know the likes of **Kapil Dev, Amitabh Bachhan or Ashwariya Rai, ** just to get an entry. When I went there I did not know that such was the case.
I managed to steam roll my way into this exclusive City holding aloft my retired *Armed Forces* identity card and threw some big names here and there, got aggressive and drove in.
This city is for the **SUPER RICH**. A plot of land with a Villa comes for some Rs 2 to 5 crores.
They have built an **exclusive 18’hole’ Golf Course here**. Bermuda grass fairways, fully flood lit for day and night play, a class driving range and a super Club House makes this a truly **world class Golf and Country Club.**
Membership is just not available to ordinary folks like me. It is rumored that the American **PGA **(Professional Golf Association) Tour Officials have agreed to host a tournament here and bring in the likes of **Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Ernie Els ** to play this year.
A life membership to this exclusive Golf Club and Country Club is a dream gift.
**A DOG**
*Golden Retriever, German Shepherd or Labrador. Pedigree, Class A, certified by the Kennel club of India. *Properly trained to do tricks and win prizes at the Dog Shows. Some of my friends have super dogs, that cost them 30 k or more. I have always envied these guys. Dogs are man’s best friend not for nothing. They cost more than humans to maintain on a day to day basis.
Has anyone here been gifted a dog?
**A CLONE**
Human Cloning has gone far enough. There was a newspaper item that the first human clone is on the way.
But clones come as a separate entity quite independent from the original. They will live side by side as two individuals. Nothing great or of any value.
What fires my imagination is a human clone of myself, with *my brain duplicated into the clone’s brain with all the information of my brain ingrained to the last byte into the clones brain.* Something like a CD RW, read from here write out here technology. I simply cast off my old body and move into a new one. The whole thing must be like akin to rebirth.
Will it be easy for a 53-year-old man to live in a new body just a day old? What will happen 5/10/15/20 years down the line? What sort of psychosomatic problems will I suffer? Can such a human being adapt to society? What super advantages will I have over others of my age? I have no answers.
This technology could count as a super gift for me when it arrives.
**LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST**
To be gifted **Star Writer** status on MouthShut!
**Just you wait Henry Higgings!**
