Dreams, something that not many of us would disclose publicaly…atleast if we do that…we will be amongst a circle of close friends. I always thought these things are really ..really very personal..and still I think the same.
When people within the family, friends ask me what are your dreams, what would u like to do in life or similar questions, questions that would require me to analyse the distant and also the not so distant future to come to a concrete answer. I usually end up blank…that does not mean I don’t have anything to say….but then the similar funda I think its so personal….people might want to do weird things, huge things, silliest of the things, not so important, trivial things in life…which might just appear kind a funny. And at least I can not take somebody laughing at things like this….Boss that’s the way I think I did not ask you to inquire me about myself…you did it on your own ….can I at least have the liberty to think, do and dream the way I like howsoever weird it may be.
This is the way I am, it is interesting to meet the people who think exactly the opposite of what you think. These kinds are passionate about their dreams, they have set a target. They work hard focused in that direction, lunatic they might appear , when they talk about their dreams with passion. Dreams that at least a normal guy like me would shun even in my dreams. Having a company , dining with Bill gates, being the richest person on this earth, to have a fleet of the finest cars Ferrari, jaguar, Mercedes and etc etc .Today they are with me probably its my weakness to go ahead to strife that makes these things look beyond mine and their reach.
“Acceptance gives you satisfaction, the ability to adapt to the existing scenario, on the contrary it also kills the desire to struggle for a better….deal (you can say deal, coz decisions are no different in life as in business…we always want profit).”
There are various schools of thought….some say Dream, Desire, take risks, go ahead make an effort…in the end you will surely win, if not literally at least in your heart you know that the effort you put in has given you something to keep for a life time, experience.
The others say, be satisfied with what you have, leave it to destiny even if you don’t get what you want there is destiny to blame, and if you get something it is your effort. They are the safe players, they don’t take much risks, superficially they look a lot happier than the earlier ones, they might not rise fast ,slow they might look at least they keep walking.
Are you able to decide which of these categories do you belong, coz the earlier ones would need to wake up to dream and the others would have to sleep to not to dream.

thats why i always praisedrajeev kaalu for going so public with his dreams..he had the guts to face 1000 odd ppl and look into each one's eyes to tell his dreams..
aand above all i think we all fall in the first category of ppl though we arent no where achieving them yet';-)
sorry naam likhna bhool gaya..but u must hv got frm my tone.
hmm.. what if someone is interested in knowing the other person? dont dreams tell a lot about our beliefs,paradigms and principles? how about those situations?
just wondering whether it's the "liberty to think, do and dream the way I like howsoever weird it may be" or the fear of ridicule and falling apart that stops us in sharing the ones that are sane enough to be made vocal when asked by people who are close to us or interested in being close to us...
and ofcourse then there are intimate ones that are very personal to be shared anyone save one's soulmate or may be with inner self only..
yes it hurts when people laugh.. immense!! but then people would laugh anyway...may be the faith is dwindled too at times.. but is a dream a dream enough if it's not subject to checkpoints? may be this is the first one of them or the first among the equals..
May be the idea is not in never sharing but in practicing silence and serenity when laughed at and maintaining the pace.. despite the outcome..
My opinion.. may be wrong..
Cheers!!
