I have a dream in my eyes!!




"Do you wana play table tennis?", asked my friend as we were returning from the institute. "Sure", i gave a quick reply. As we started playing my friend said,"We enjoy playing so much. How great it would have been if we were in some sports institute. We would have been so much better at grades". I chuckled at the amusing thought. But then the train of thoughts began and i couldn't concentrate on the game anymore.Its funny but true that we can run from speaking, we can run from listening but we can't run from thoughts. They come to us like an uninvited guest and captivate our mind like a hijacker and stay in it till the time they want. There's no way out of thinking espl for me. As much as i was enjoying playing i kept thinking about the thing my friend said. "Quick question", I said,"What did you wana become when you were a kid? ". "A dancer or a sports person may be". But what she became is an Engineer. we kept talking..
"Why didn't you try to become one?"...
"I couldnt...i neither had the resources nor the support"...
"But you have it now.."
"Its too late now.. ", she said.
This is what my post is about. And what i call it is 'PASSION'. As a kid i always wanted to become a doctor..and i used to say "i'll become a muft doctor"..(one who wouldn't charge for treatment..)..cos i thought helping people was the best job one could get into...As i grew up i knew it was certainly my interest but not my passion.My passion was hidden in the antakshari's and group song games I used to play with friends. And one day i realised that all i wanted to do was to sing..I started singing in events..i joined the college band and was proud to be known by the other students as the lead singer of the band. I performed in front of hundreds of people not only in my institute but outside as well but my hunger to sing wasnt satisfied.Today, I am an engineer by degree but i have a dream...i have a dream that some day i will be singing in front of not hundreds but thousands of people.My passion is to sing..and stage is where i belong...
As a kid we all had thought of a future. some of us were able to realise their dreams and some of us werent. The question to ask is, how many of us are still trying to live for their passion?? Some people might say we have already lived so much of this life, we just cant leave this all just like that. True, but if you really have a passion isnt it worth giving a shot?? just dont let the dream in you die cos you couldn't do anything for it in the past. How can it be too late when all we have got is one life. How can we be happy doing something when we know our life is bound with something else. There's always a way to turn things right. Its never too late...I read somewhere, "God has sent us all with gifts..but some never open the pckages".. All i want to say is, open yours. Let the world know your talent. Let your heart be satisfied.
I am working on my passion..i might be moving slowly.. but i know i will be there.... soon. I won't let my passion die just like that..I owe it to myself..I will make my dream come true..will you ???

  8. sorry to comment,
    first of all congrats 4 writin n makin up a blog...
    well.. it gud tht u r writin... but thn
    it gets confusing..

    as in.. u didn't tell us wht abt ur muft doc thingy..
    u can still work on it.. passively!!

    thn.. u can take up singing professionally netym u want..
    but whts ur passion??
    to sing or to sing in front of a massive crowd??
    both r diff i guess..

    i'm sorry if its personal, but the point is.. ne writing real/fictions should be presented in such a way tht readers shld get the pleasure of both the writing, n the reading!!
    all the best.

  12. it is 'in fashion' to pursue your dreams but in reality many factors (read economical) contribute to the decision that we make and sometimes what you are passionate about may involve sacrifice from another person (who might be unwilling to make it and you can do absolutely nothing about it)...very people have the luxury to follow their dreams and even fewer people have the guts...kudos to you that you are among those rare people in the world...and yes i do believe in the saying that "it is better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all"

  13. @born idiot: well said... first of all, i would like to say that fashion changes every season but i dont think passion changes ever..secondly, it sure needs guts to take the risk..and sometimes it does involve sacrifice from others.but after the last quote in your comment i dont think i need to say anything more as it says everything i m trying to write about..i'll just requote it in the words that the softest pillow is a clear conscience that yes we are doing something for it... we should fear standing still not going slow and if u r steady and put a foot down on your decision i dont think any obstacle in the world can stop you from living your dream life... giving up is easy... holding on is what takes guts..

  14. First thing that came in to my mind was, SHE THINKS TOO MUCH... and next... its true that we all try hiding our laziness or lack of determination by saying, NOW ITS TOO LATE... One more thing, not all are blessed enough even to realize that they have a package yet to be opened. They are too busy with the routine stuff and the struggle for survival is the only thing they have... Yes, The Dark Side Of Life... ;) Anyways, Kinda Nice effort...!! Keep Writing. This too is one of your gifts i guess... You like thinking, and Best thing is that you can think... and Express too...!! Catch Ya... B H 3. ;)
