Dreams! Dont we all wish...

Dreams are beautiful. Dreams keep our flame burning. It could the reason for our survival. Just like the rest of you, even I have cherised desires that drive me to work harder to achieve them.
Personally, I feel life would be worthless, if we dont have any dream to achieve or fulfill.

Back as a child, I had this weird dream. I would find myself floating in the house. Like a helium balloon, I would drift from one corner of the house to another. It was scary, I have always been scared of heights and this dream tested my limits. 12 feet was enough to scare the hell out of me. But the feeling of floating gave me a sense of freedom that cannot be described in words. I prayed every night to have the same dream, because I enjoied the liberty to do my own thing. The closest I have come to flying is para-sailing in Langkawi. All by myself, way above beautiful clear blue waters, I can still recall. All I did was look up to the sky, said "THANK YOU JESUS!". It was an unforgettable adventure. Sandwiched between the blue waters and the blue skies, I was left speechless by the wonders of the creator. I was flying that day and to some extent, I fulfilled my dream.

Thanks to Vikram, I even have a video of my escape to heaven..






We all dream of a big house, a nice job, a fat pay package, a loving partner(:-P) and so on... These dreams dont really mean much do they. It is the stupid rat race that has resulted in our minds focussing for materialistic goals! Of course, even I have changed. Even I want a nice big house, ample of $$ to spend and unlimited happiness and success.

But one thing I know for sure, the feeling of fulfilling the 2 dreams will be different. If i get a house of my choice tomorrow, it will not bring me the satisfaction that I got up above the waters the other day in langkawi...

Dreams should be unadulterated, they should not be influenced by the rat race that we all are involved in. You and Me should not stop dreaming of floating like a balloon, because the day you will fulfill that dream, it will be a feeling of completeness!

Till next time, keep dreaming and dream different...
