What would make me happy?

Sandeep my friend, sometimes guru and usually thought provoker, asked me this, forwarding a query by Dandin. All people concerned are thoughtful types on weekends and so this is a pretty decent conversation and bonding opener.
And while I thought of many possible answers, I didn't give one. It wasn't required at the time. But I guess it is important to have a list of things that would make me happy. However, temporary.
So here goes:
1. To have a series written as successful as the Bartimaeus trilogy if not Harry Potter
2. To have all my close friends close by and alive and full of jokes
3. To have the love of a woman, one woman, who I love back- fiercely, possessively, completely
4. To have many other women want me
5. To have more money than I can spend in this life
6. To have visited at least a hundred cities

That's it. I hope it doesn't condemn me to unhappiness. And the numbers don't indicate priority (that changes daily), just order of thinking.
