This is a great question that I believe everyone should ask oneself. It really made me think what would happen if I get stranded on an Island or on a deserted Island! In addition, it made me want to know what my closed ones and friends think. So I twisted the question a little bit and asked my friends and closed ones “What’s the one thing you couldn’t live without if you were shipwrecked on
Well off-course the obvious and smart-ass answer was Oxygen. As expected, I got alot of creative answers as well!!
Here’s what they had to say!
Music player – Swati Sachar
Mobile – Priyanka Mukherjee, Minal Waghmare along with my Mother in Law
Internet – Lokesh Mundra
Willingness to live – Kunal Mehta
Probably it would be, Cuppuccino – Indrojeet Bannerjee
I think I will have my family photo with me; it will encourage me to live and find a way out of the Island. –Shraddha Chatterjee (But her first thought was lipstick though) (Her first answer really reflected on me!!)
Drinking Water – Pallabi Bose
A Knife – My Husband Salil Chatterjee
My Father in Law asked for a Mirror!!
There were other who said books family, pets, TV, cars, chargers, laptop etc etc.
As Peter Walsh quoted
People hold onto stuff like their
kids old clothing as a way of holding their past. Or they keep things they might need someday as a way to control the future.
On a lighter side, I would like to say that if I were shipwrecked on an island and the one thing that I couldn’t live without is my specs because I am half blind and losing my specs is something which I would not like to live without. It is my basic need (I hope all chashmish’s will agree with me). On the other hand, being a woman, and supposedly stranded, has been always a concern for me that how women have survived their menstruation during stone age??? What do you think? I googled it and got some really weird and factual answers.

Very interesting!!
So cute you have the insight ….
I would just take my Toothbrush and paste ..:)
I like how you made it such a fun read. I agree I would take my son with me so that would be motivation to get out of there and he would be entertaining company too
Well if I happen to be stranded on an island , I guess a family photo will keep my spirits high to survive the odds.Your story was good read.
The person who answered family photo is sorted in terms of motivation. I really wonder why nobody answered food and water though!
I cant even live in an isolated place…and I want many things like water, food, my son, internet. Even I cant live without talking with someone… and I cant stay alone without my son.
You have tantalised many cords in this funny question. Let me guess, I can’t survive for long on an island as have huge fish allergy and I am guessing, this island will not have much of vegetation. Lol.
About the last part, you got me intrigued for information. Googling out.
Being alone in an isolated places is just equal to death, for me!! That too without literally anything!!!
What a fun read it was. I can so understand your specs bit because my elder sister is the same. Now my brain is running with million thoughts as what would I take …lol
NOw even I am intrigued about the last part. Please share your findings on that:) . On the whole a lovely read, kept thinking in my mind what are the things I cant live without…seems list is long:)
Great One. Even I am half bling and would prefer my specs as manintaing contact lens would be tough.
i dont think i can live without my kids, cant really imagine a world where they are absent, also i vote for food, water, love and compassion . thoughtful post indeed,
AAhh a scary thought to be honest of being stranded. I have always feared being left all alone..
I am not the person who can live alone I would always love to be with my family my kid my husband.. most of all is the main things I want in my life, any all comes after that.. nice post
this is very interesting – I am not sure if i can stay without my son or phone or lipsticks!
Hmmm. I so can’t chose just one thing..i ges too used to having so much we lose value.. interesting thoughts about women in the old age..am gonna google it too.
