Dreams gone wrong


This is a post for Blogeshwar : "Ishwar of blogs" as they put it.

They say dream is a wish your heart makes. So how can dreams go wrong? Oh yes! They can. Because nobody said that we get everything what our heart wishes for. That is life for you --- unpredictable and unfair. So when a teenage boy runs away from his unnamed, unknown village, with the dream of making it big in the film industry and ends up being nothing but a spot boy... the dreams go wrong. Or maybe when a young girl with the dream and a passion to dance,is stuck in a cubicle working for an MNC,the dream has definitely gone wrong.

Parents want to complete their dreams through their children, not realizing that the child may have different ambitions. We are often suggested to drop a seemingly impossible dream and get back to life because, really, how many of us actually get what we want? Aren't we all somewhere caught in a whirlwind?

And it hurts. It hurts to see your dreams mingle into oblivion and one day realizing out of the blue, that you haven't given it a single thought, while once, that was all your mind could think of.

But, wait. According to APJ Abdul Kalam , real dreams do not let u sleep in the night. They keep you awake. Burning with passion. For a few lucky ones, they are not merely a wish from their heart. They are the reasons for their life. Because truly people who live their dreams are the people who LIVE and not just exist.

So when we claim that our dreams have gone wrong , while we were busy being consumed by life , they are probably waiting for us. Maybe dreams don't go wrong, they just remain unfulfilled. It needs a little more persuasion, a Little more passion, loads of patience and some more determination to lead a life of your dreams. But dreams are not meant to go wrong. They are meant to be fulfilled, to be fought for ...to be achieved. Because dreams do come true! :)

Tagged!! For the first time!

So this is my first mini step in the blogger community. I know bloggers tag one another, but I have been tagged for the first time by "Me"

Here are the rules :

1.You must post the rules.
2.Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post & then create 11 new questions to ask the people you’ve tagged.
3.Tag 11 people and link to them on your post.
4.Let them know you’ve tagged them.

As far as tagging 11 other people goes, I might have to go to random people's blogs and tag them because I really dont know many bloggers. But for the answer to the questions.. Here I go!

1) If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Undoubtedly teleportation. I could go back , visit mom in bhopal whenever I feel like or go to Ireland and attend the ongoing St.Patrick's day. I would go to Paris and have an authentic pizza and then finish my day beside a beautiful beach at Miami! How about that!! :)



2) What was your favorite childhood television program?

Like everyone, it was Tom and Jerry. I also have faint memories of "Byomkesh Bakshi". :)



3) Have / had any celebrity crushes ?

John Abraham, John Abraham and John Abraham!!!!!! (Siiiiigggghhhhhhh)



4) If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Uff!! The toughest of all! My dream is to travel the world. So picking one place is super difficult. But if it has to be just one place then i guess Venice ... With all that I have seen about it in pictures and on TV, I still have to see a more beautiful place than that!



5) Name 1 thing you miss about being a child.

School!!!! Although I was never in love with my school, I miss my school days. Miss those lunch breaks, hanging around the corridors, prayer services, pretending to study and sometimes actually studying!! :)

6) Name the one comic/book character that you loved the most and why?

Pinky!!! I don't know how many of you really know but Pinky, Raman, Chacha Choudhary were some comic characters we small city people have read, loved and grown up with. Pinky was the female version of Dennis the menace. She always had the brightest smiles on her face. I always wanted to be whacky and naughty like her! I totally loved her!



7) What is the one thing that you are dying to try but haven’t had a chance to do so yet ?

I will be repetitive here but I am dying to travel around the world and I hope I'm going to go out there very soon!! :)



8) Do you have a role model – someone you want to emulate? Whom do you admire the most?

Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar - I don't play cricket and I am not really a cricket crazy Indian ... but I have always admired the down to earth nature and cool headedness of these guys.




















9) What do others make of you?

That I am a super duper talkative and that I am a little mad :D :D (Wont say they are totally wrong !! :) )




10) Have you ever gotten into a fight or punched someone ?

I have got into a few verbal altercations ... Punched only my sister :)


11) For Girls – If you woke up tomorrow to find out youif are Brad Pitt, what would be the first thing you’d say upon looking in the mirror?

I am looking so old in moneyball!! :P :P (Sorry!! I am not much of a Brad Pitt fan :D )
