Dreamz Unlimited...
Well, who does not dream??? School days, we want to get good marks, get the group of our choice, get into a good college. When in college, we dream of joining a reputed firm, good salary :-). For some, it is about writing GRE/CAT - going abroad for higher education. Once we start working, we want to climb up the corporate ladder, big fat pay packages, buy a car, house, start a company/business etc etc. We then dream of getting married to someone who is compatible, same wavelength, nice family, and satisfying numerous other criteria. If we get caught in the love web, we want to marry the person we love and wish our parents would agree. Then we need to save for future - for our kids - education, marriage etc etc. As we grow older, we wish our kids would do well in college, get a good job, marry, settle down and he happy. Then it is time for grand children.
Our life in essence is made of these small and big desires - probably that is what makes us going and makes life interesting. As R~ says, it is probably not about buying a house in Jayanagar bangalore and setting down, there is something more to it, but until we find that out, these little wishes definitely give us something to look forward to and plan our present for the future. There is definitely a joy in having these small goals and trying to move towards it. It could be the desire to learn guitar, pottery, glass painting or it could be as big as starting a firm, bungee jumping ( well, s~ wants to do it some day! sigh! I am worried now itself) - we accomplish only what we dream!
OK, so much for a saturday afternoon, I guess, i will just go ahead and dream of what I could do once S~ comes back from delhi - watch a movie perhaps or maybe cook something real nice and stay at home. But u know the problem if u r married - we are two peas in a pod and you just cant dream alone - what if i dream of going to a movie and he just wants to be at home and watch some cricket match (God! do they play cricket 364 days a year???). So, i guess i will drop the dreams for now and just take a nap. zzzzzzzz.... ¶ 1:03 PM
