Dreams!

Great dreams….New heights….a stifled cry and then a loud shout….and we know that the balloon seller’s daughter has secured perhaps the first rank in AIPMT. That’s how it is! Yes….from the remotest villages come the biggest dreams, high hopes and faith….till the end. It’s no denying to the fact that they toil hard by the day on hard lands and at night they read by the light of the neighbor’s lamp. Yet….yet they dream and dare to run. For them it all starts with the dreams, and then they chase those dreams and turn them into reality. Such children are the need of the hour. They give up everything to get to their destination. And we…despite having everything sit back and mouth “impossible!”We dream but never chase our dreams, we think but never act upon our thoughts, we see but never believe our eyes and we walk but never dare to run…!! To achieve big, one must always dream big. There’s a saying which goes like this- “Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there's a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.” I was talking to one of my friends on this topic when she said “I don’t have a dream now, because every time I dream, my dream gets shattered into a thousand pieces…That hurts!” I know it’s easy to gather the pieces of some delicate thing as a lamp and replace it with a new one, but gathering the pieces of shattered dream can never be easy. It’s true that we might try hard to gather the pieces of shattered dream but some pieces never reach us and keep pricking our heart and conscience and reminding us that the dream was once our life…But that’s how life is! Life is all about standing up each time you fall, feeling better than you ever were! So, dream big…even if you fail…You have another chance and another and yet another...
