I have dreams
I was sitting yesterday and thought... what are my dreams? What do I want out of life? What do I want to see in my future?
and then I thought I would put them down in my blog.
maybe my dreams are kinda typical. Everyone wants the same things...
well, in my dreams, I am happy. And I see myself as happy, not with money, but with life. I am doing something I enjoy (atleast to some amount). I make enough money to support myself, as well as my hobby of travelling. I have a soulmate who understands me, and I will spend time and effort making her happy too. I will have enough time leftover from my job to spend time doing things that I enjoy (i.e. it does not take up all my life).
wow.That's all the dreams I have for the future. I always thought they were bigger and more detailed.
people have often asked me where I would like to settle down. I have always claimed to like India. And I do. But the truth of the matter is, I don't really care. I like India for the excellent family support, the whole homely feel, and other small things that one enjoys there. The US is just... comforts, that I think I can make do without. In the end, it boils down to where life takes me. As Sean Connery says in "The Untouchables", (or something to this effect): ~Don't wait for it to happen. Don't even hope for it to happen. It will happen anyways. Just handle it when it happens.~
I have always put women on a certain pedestal. At least, women that I respect. But yesterday, that pedestal slipped down a few notches. Just a sad situation at a party.
Oh yes, I really need to work on poetry:-). Got so much encouragement from all you people.... maybe I should let loose some of the masterpieces from my childhood;)
"Twinkleless twinkleless little moon.
How I wonder what you croon
down below the galaxy so low
like an aeroplane going so slow
twinkleless twinkleless little moon
how I wonder what you croon"
Mwuahahahahaha

Hi Mohan,
Left the following limerick in Ur prev. post comment box. Since U did not read it, I have dragged it here.
Ur poetry is nice and crisp too,
It is a talent U should pursue.
So please write more
this vista explore
While U wait for a job,at Purdue.
That is a feeble attempt at a limerick:). But I liked Ur poetry.And enjoy leisure when U can, once U get a job it life will move to fast-forward.
dreams, even simple ones, need to be chased down.. keep on chasing!!

Hey Vidya!!
I did see your earlier post:-D. Just was too lazy to reply to it. And I am amazed that you liked my earlier piece. I myself found it so corny that I lost all inspiration to write any further;). But thanks though for appreciating it:).
As for leisure .... I think I believe in spending it doing something worthwhile like travelling, meeting people, learning something, building bonds... rather than gloomily waiting for time to move forward, which is what I am doing now. But yes, I am working on becoming more positive.. and soon, very soon, I will be out of this rut:)
Vandna
:) will do :)
