Follow your dreams...


There is a famous saying "Never part with your dreams. When they're gone, you might still exist, but you cease to live."

How true is that...dreams give you a reason to live, dreams give you strength to venture into the unknown, and dreams give you understanding of your inner self. It all starts with a rough thought, then with time you begin to sharpen your thought and carve into a framework. From that point you actually begin to follow your dream. At first, you think about it for few minutes in a day...and it grows on further. Now you begin to notice things associated with your dream randomly, may be in a newspaper heading, some hoarding, or in a casual conversation with someone, it just appears from somewhere! Then comes a stage when you start dreaming more intensely, but this time with your heart rather than your brain. This is the time when your dream becomes your passion. Day or night, in or out, lone or in crowd, all your senses are in-tune with just one thing....your passion!

At times you feel trapped, at times you feel you are traveling a path with no exit route, and you are swept by hazy winds of uncertainty. But hold on, this is the time when you should try your hardest. Remember the most important things while you are following your dreams are faith, patience and perseverance. No matter what, if you have faith and have the strength to hold your dream tight in your heart, you will eventually succeed. When you have ardent passion, failure is no option...you are bound to win.

Though it seems that things are not in our favour, but actually things are getting manifested at their own pace. Take actions when required, but do not try to push too hard. Just have faith and enjoy the journey to your dream, be receptive and focus on your passion. Once you believe that the thing you crave is already yours, it actually becomes yours! That's how it works....and works for all the same way without exceptions. Stay positive as much as you can, think, speak, and act as if you are already living your dream. Start believing in miracles, and trust me they do occur when you are following your dreams with deep desire.

Once your dream becomes the reality, do not stop! Dream again, this time even bigger! Be even more passionate, the more energy you put in...greater the results you will see. Live your life with purpose and passion. And remember, don't just dream...rather follow your dreams! Happy living :)

Weekend bliss - A Saturday!

After a hectic working week...exhausted from work and long hours of commuting, 'a weekend' gives a sigh of relief. Gone are the days when we used to get two months vacation in school and college, now 'two days' of weekend are cherished more than those two months vacation. The fun begins from Friday itself...I enjoy with my cab mates all the way to office, and there awaits more fun-filled moments with my colleagues. Everyone is in cheerful mood, work takes a backseat and paves the way for faces sparkling with joy! At lunch time, we plan to move out (oh...how much time we take to decide where to go) and enjoy a happy meal together. Post lunch, we all try to wind up our work and just wait for the clock to strike 5. Some more masti and jokes...and it's time to go!!!


Now back in cab, I hope for a plan to materialize...so that I can go somewhere (may be a movie?)with my favourite buddy. Ahh..but it's Friday, he has some other plans, so he takes a different route...and I end up having a boring ride! Anyways...I go home, spend some time with my family at Friday's special menu, and then start planning for the weekend! I make few calls and see if some plan works out (although most of the successful outings are unplanned!). A look at the clock, it's just 10! Should I sleep? (may be...I'm tired and then I have to stick to my routine of getting up at 5 in the morning). Still...it's Friday, so I can stay awake for a little more time. Now, I either turn on my laptop or get on to read some good book (yeah...I love reading...and have quite a few unread or half read books in my shelf). Well...I'm even more tired now, so lights OFF and here I go to sleep....zzzzzz


Good morning....it's lovely Saturday! My day starts with my routine exercises and stuff, and I'm geared up for an exciting day. After having my breakfast, I am again on my phone...making plans! Whom should I move out with today? college group...old office friends...or that favourite buddy of mine? A call...and a two...and three...(it takes too many calls to plan a group meet!) But finally...plan is made, but which place? Old favourite CP! Noooo...it's so hot! Ok...then some mall in Rajouri...or a long ride to Gurgaon? Someone suggests...let's meet in evening in CP...ok done! Well...I hate summers for this...now what to do at home this afternoon! watch TV....naa...too boring! laptop...tired to it! books...always great but feel like sleeping after a while. Ok...a mix of all...some surfing...some reading...and finally lots of sleeping...or rather just lazing around! Finally...it's evening...let's move out. Taking a metro ride to CP (metro is surely one of the best things in Delhi!)...my station is a terminating one...so getting a seat is not an issue, I enjoy the ride with my favourite music playing in my ears (I love my MotoRokr E8!) or having that non-sensible but enjoyable chat if travelling with my friends. In around 45 minutes, we reach CP...buzzing with people...but still this place has a unique charm! As usual...we are hungry, and now begins our search for some new place (although we try our level best...but generally end up being in same pizza hut, CCD, or barista). After stuffing our bellies, we just stroll around the inner circle...may be some shopping or just window shopping. Moving to central park...or wherever, I just wanna forget office, and have all fun and frolic! All done...nothing else comes to our mind...so now it's time to move back home.


Hey...it's not that late! I can go out for a movie or dinner with my buddy. But...he didn't call me, he might be busy...should I call? With such wavering thoughts throughout the metro ride...I reach my station. And here things turn my way! Before I reach home, I receive his call and we plan to go for a movie! Cool...I simply love these instant plans (although I was craving for this the whole day!) Enjoying the movie at PVR (movie wasn't that great...but still it was good fun)...and then having that late night dinner, amidst the silence of the night and refreshing cool breeze...driving is such an amzing thing! I always feel so great when I get to spend time with this wonderful friend of mine (I liked that group meet as well...but ideally I believe that "two is company, and three is crowd"!) Nevertheless...it was a perfect saturday! I reach home at 1 that night...I thanked God for giving me a day filled with amazing moments, and finally I surrender myself to the dreamy night!
