You rub this magnificent lamp, and the Genie comes out and bows to you asking for your wish.Are you ready with your wish?

Hello my friend, the way I am feeling at the moment this is going to make me sound shallow but hey why not, if you don't ask you don't get, I would ask the Genie to make me look beautiful, give me a beautiful face that can be admired instead of a turn off. I know beauty doesn't last but at least let me feel what it's like to be beautiful on the outside for a little while that would be my wish, selfish and shallow yes but hey I can dream can't I, and at least I am honest with my wish.

I truly wished I believe that. But coming from someone who has chronic low self esteem, and low worth to me beauty is everything, I haven't got it and I wish I had. But thank you anyhow ;0)

Well I hope I could now find that Aladins lamp. But wait even by while just imagining I could not resolve which of my many wishes should come first. That Aladin lamp will most likely give me problem! Maybe if the Aladin Lamp will not limit the wishes then the better. At any rate, given the chance to give my first wish, then perhaps it would be this: That we all go back to the original garden of Eden where men would live righteously and none knows even one sin! That I'm sure would solve all the problems and no need to wish for more.

Hi Bala, Guess if that happened to me the first thing I would say is 'let me think on it' then do my utmost best not to wish for anything unless my wasted wish gets granted instead of the one I really would want..think first on my list would be to get rid of all my debts,,lol yet there again if my first wish was to have enough money to live comfortably then that may cover it so would derinitley have to think wisely on that one..LoLo

It makes me remember the wish of a 60 year old man asking to have a wife who is 40 years younger than him. The Genie obliged readily and made him 100 years old. Fair isn’t it?

My wish would be that I had my grandmother back but in good health. I would wish for my children to have wonderful lives and that I had my health so I would be around to see it.

My first wish would be good health for everyone. My second wish would be that there would be poverty stricken people and everyone would be somewhat wealthy. My third wish would be that there is no one who feels unloved. The three most important things in life are health, wealth, and love! Live everyday as if it's your last and never be afraid to help others and you would want to be helped!

Nothing would please me more but I very much doubt it would happen, at least in our lifetime, Bala. People are too set in their modern ways. It's good to see you, too. I've missed all my friends here, but there were things to be dealt with. :)

Wow, that would be great if the genie comes out! well, first I'll wish to multiply the lamps like the response above. I'll wish that too, and then I'll wish so many things not only for myself but also for the world. But if ever the genie said that I have only one wish to be granted, maybe I'll wish I'm in Lady Gaga's position of fame and wealth.

Hey balasri! If I had Aladins lamp I'm sure I would be able to come up with a few wishes! But, you didn't say how many! I would assume three, since that was always what Aladin would grant!lol I would wish for some money to make sure that I could live comfortably, but nothing outrageous! I would wish for good health and a long life for me and my Mom! And the third wish I would have to think about for awhile! So, I'd have to get back to you on that one!

I think I would like to ask for another aladin lamp just incase if this lamp expires or the validity gets over, in that way I can use more lamps to get all my wishes full filled.

Good idea.But I doubt very much whether we are going to have that much of wishes for so many lamps.We can get all our needs and cravings satisfied with a handful of wishes.

Your wishes are so noble that they will be fulfilled without the help of any magical lamp.Your wishes themselves are magical enough to bring all the happiness anything can can bring to this world.

Hi Balasri, For a fraction of a second it was fun thinking about it but later like all good dreams we are awake and fun or magical things get vanished, I think everyone here would want a few wishes granted with or without the Aladin lamp. If we pray to god hopefully few practical ones will be full filled and the rest we can dream about it only daily basis, if I had the lamp there are few more things I would ask for, besides my personal greeds, and that is, no war or terrorism, no poverty, everyone deserves to life a reasonable life, we really need these wishes to be full filled. Take Care & God Bless

I think it would be nice to have enough money in my pocket for anything I need whenever I need it. I don't need a billion dollars in the bank, but money for the things i need on a daily basis would be nice. If I want a mocha latte for $4.19, it would be nice to have $4.19 in my pocket. If I want to buy something for $10,000 dollars, then I should have $10,000 in my pocket. That would be great! No taxes!

I would love to give Aladdin’s lamp a bit of a rub and I wouldn’t mind checking out his cave either! If I had three wishes I would wish for health, wealth and a cure of all incurable diseases in the world. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live to a ripe old age with excellent health? To have wealth one can help so many not just one’s self. To have a cure for all critical illnesses out there would see an end for so many...If it was only one wish I would go for number three.

Let's just say that if this fantasy will be a reality, I'll wish excellent health for my whole family throughout our entire lifetime. The situation that usually make me panicky is when one of my children or any member of the family becomes ill. Maybe I acquired this paranoia from a childhood experience when my father who was very physically fit suddenly became so ill and he was never able to regain his former strength and physical fitness.
