Dreams (Really) Unlimited!

It has really been a long while since I wrote. The thoughts have been itching to be put into writing all these months! Just that they did not get an opportunity to be expressed. Anways, I guess it has more to do with procrastination than with anything else!

All this while, this aura, this feeling of hope, this feeling of enthusiasm all around in my India (you just cannot ignore it), have left me wondering. Anywhere you go, you can find people, especially those of your and my age, thinking, dreaming, planning and aiming for the big things in life - really amazing! And the whole feeling is so infectious. Just takes five minutes of interaction and the brain goes ga-ga over so many ideas. It seems that innumerable opportunities exist for each one of us to book our places in the pages of history. And finally, it seems that we - "the young turks" - will realise the destiny of India, that of being a self-actualized nation (more on this in a later post!).

I just hope all this continues. I guess the key to all this is dreams. We all dream about lifestyles, about power, about wealth, about being self-sufficient, about responsibility, about splendour, about greatness, perhaps! And it is these dreams that guide us, that make us act. And its these small acts that will eventually take us where we all belong to. I just wish that we all keep dreaming. For, as Abdul Kalam has said, it is only when we dream, that we generate thoughts. And only when we generate thoughts that we act. And it is these actions, each small bit of them, that will take us to our rightful place.

And I am sure no philosophy, no culture, no religion at its core does limit us from dreaming big. Lifestyle choice by no means is in any conflict with any kind of spirituality. Our religions only guide us to have faith, to be good to mankind and nature in general. They only ask us to remember that we are not supreme, that something somewhere is more powerful - something that is responsible for our creation. Okk! So I believe there is a supreme power, I have faith, I am good to other fellow beings - but all this while I might as well spot opportunities, capitalize on them and earn millions and billions (the right way, truthfully) and thus, live lavishly and comfortably. It only is a matter of my choice and liking, isn't it? No conflict, no issues :)

Mahatma Gandhi (truly a great person) had himself said - If you think you can, you will. But if you think you can't, you wont. The strange thing is that a man acquires the ability to do a thing the moment he believes he can do it, even if he did not possess the ablity to do it before!

So keep dreaming, keep believing, keep doing. Be hungry, be happy :D
