If there were an award for the best dreamer or a paegent Miss Dreamer, I can assure you that I would have won. There is not a single night when I don't dream. And I am a bit of a day-dreamer too (Understatement, I beg your pardon). Now, when I say dreams, I extend the word's jurisdiction to all aspects of it. I could go on and on talking about my dreams, in fact I could start another blog just for a daily narrative of my dreams. But I wish to make a bigger and more pressing point here. That is in relation to our dreams, our desires and our ambitions.
Now, there are two ways of looking at it. The first kind of people follow a very cautious and seemingly practical approach. The second kind understand the complete truth, because they have kept their minds open. Open in order to grab the real meaning of all our endeavours. The first kind either dream but push their dreams away or they don't dare to dream. The second kind see that there is a certainty to only one thing in this universe, and by recognising that they have the advantage of additional impetus and zeal. And so they dream a bit more and bit often.
But what is the right way of looking at it? I am absolutely certain that there is not any. To be a chef in the world's best restaurant is a dream to one. To be a chef to one's own children alone is a dream to another. Now, would you even call it a dream? Yes, why not? Maybe it does not require all the self-hype as we create for ourselves and our dreams, but if it gives happiness and willingness to continue, it is basically a dream come true. Some of us think that a worthy life is one that has done something "great". I, too,belonged to that class of people. And we think that the others are aimless, ambitionless and wasted. Now, I realise that I don't really have the right to cast people as a particular unworthy kind. Maybe I look like a stupid fellow chasing apparently unreachable goals to them. And then, they are not wrong. The point is, nobody is really right or wrong in deciding how to live or dream.
It is our own act, you see. All the world is a stage and the men and women merely players. Yes, we are players. And as we step onto this beautiful planet, we bring with us the inviolable right to play our own game. Right to define our own act. Some of us prefer to be the protagonists, some the antagonists, some the background artists and so on and so forth. But I am sure you will all agree that the role of each one is paramount. Without any, this play is incomplete.
Some people tell me that the few posts in my blog are negative about my country(though most are meant to be generalised). But I don't see any harm in accepting the truth. In fact, I criticise only because I care. I observe because I know that I, like everyone else, have the power to change the world. I dream big. I want to make my act grand. But then it's my choice - not right, not wrong, just mine. Just my dream.
You chase yours.
You act well.
You live well.
Make Your Dent.
