How long can a dreamer live????

Being a dreamer is not an easy thing. He/she lives in a different plain all together. A world removed from what the senses can perceive. Beings in the so called real world most of the times fail to recognise the world of a dreamer. They are all bitten by the reality bug. The only dream that they may believe in will be that of APJ Abdul Kalam's ignited dreams. I call myself a dreamer because that's the only identity that makes me complete. Dreams are very much related to risk taking and adversities. I believe that – to dream is to think off the beaten track. To be a path finder and also a path finder. I am reminded of the vision statement of the Jesuits when they started India's first management institute. If I remember correctly it was – 'renewing the face of the earth'. A dream nurtured by one Jesuit father has become a success story called XLRI. To have a dream for me is like having hope – something to which I can cling on. What is life if don't have dreams. I am talking about dreams which are unbridled and spontaneous. I also would like to make it very clear that dreams for me are not materialistic – like buying an Audi car or owning a posh flat in Indira Nagar, Bangalore. My dreams are more 'down to earth'.

Interestingly I also have asked my friends and colleagues about their dreams and they came out with some lovely dreams

One of my Tamilian friends wants to get married to a girl from Kerala.
One of my Andhra friends wants to get married to a fair girl because he is afraid that getting married to an Indian may turn his progeny into dark skinned beings.

Now talking about my dreams...

The first one is related to a person with whom I had spent a considerable amount of time – it is not just ordinary time I would like to call it 'quality time'. The person was my dream and still is.

The second dream is to do with my higher studies. As usual I got a dream topic. Everybody seems to criticise the very thought of it, but not me and the ones who love me.

The third is an extension of the third dream – a kind of fulfilling the practical side of the theory.

As I write this blog – I declare that I am born into this world only to accomplish these three dreams. I don't have any other dreams because I don't have any other life –

ONE LIFE / THREE DREAMS.
