the most obvious one ,  his  walkman  +  mixtapes .   he’s had them for years ,  they’ve even been enhanced slightly to last longer than the average walkman ,  especially as conditions out in space seem to have a faster degrading effect on his music .   at some point the mixtapes +  walkman will stop working ,  and at some point Peter will  let  them ,  because there’s a certain aspect of symbolism behind allowing something to pass naturally out of your grasp .   he’s not at that level yet ,  though ,  because both the objects and the music remind him so strongly of his mother .

the Milano .   he learnt how to fly the ship when he was 11 years old ,  and developed a certain fondness towards it .  it was almost as if the spacecraft and Peter had a spiritual connection ,  somehow   ---   where confidence soared behind the controls of the Milano ,  and it seemed to become a part of him so seamlessly .  but most importantly ,  he’s super attached to the ship because it’s the closest thing he has to a home .   it’s like his house ,  his personal abode ,  when he’s drifting through the universe .  it’s familiar ,  welcoming ,  advanced and unbelievably powerful .  he loves the Milano for sheltering him through all these years   ---   they’ve practically grown up together .

his small shrine ,  in the corner of the Milano ,  which consists of  :  a picture of Lord Ganesha ,  a Vishnu murti  (  around the size of his palm  ) ,  and a smaller image of Hanuman ,  as well as two or three candles .   it’s the only connection he has to home ,  his religion ,  and while he isn’t as religious as perhaps the rest of the Quill family were ,  he tries his best when he remembers .   most of these items are covered after prayer ,  so as not to be thrown around everywhere when he’s flying recklessly .

his backpack ,  the one he was wearing as a kid when he was kidnapped .   containing :  a pencil case ,  a notebook ,  the present his mother gave him ,  and a small magic 8 - ball  (  that doesn’t even work anymore  ) .  reminders of his last day on earth ,  reminders of his childhood .  he doesn’t want to lose them .   the notebook has Praveen Quill written on the front page   ---   in both English and Gujarati ,  courtesy of his mom .

the photograph of David Hasslehoff .  Peter will be the first to admit he doesn’t know why he still has it .  he’s come close to throwing it away several times ,  but every time it ends up back in his pocket .   perhaps there’s a small part of him that still believes that his dad isn’t all - bad ,  somehow .    like he really is out there ,  an awesome intergalactic Hasslehoff ,  saving lives and being a hero   ---   and this is why he wasn’t around for Peter or Mallika .
