Realising Dreams!

Sometimes I just think.

I think of the time I have wasted doing nothing at all.

Sitting here in my comfy office, when I look back at those critical years of my life which played an important role in deciding where I am today, I sometimes do regret the fact that things could have been better if I had put that little extra effort.Maybe I could have studied in a better institute, maybe I could have been a little less of a dreamer, maybe I could have been more career focussed like the kids of today, maybe I could have forseen the future a bit, but then again, this also makes me think that maybe its good that I didn't think much that time and let myself flow, maybe I would have become an old hag too soon if I had let those thoughts overshadow my wanderer life.

Its not that i was completely out of focus, like I mentioned earlier, I used to be quite a dreamer then. i would dream of living an extremely luxurious life, complete with a huge villa and a fancy car, a huge pool to dip in and unlimited food and wine in the cellar. I don't remember if I dreamt of being a movie star or something to dream of a life like that, but never I thought about what it takes to realise that dream.

Again I guess old age has made me a wee bit wiser and made me realise that behind every successful dream is a lot of hardwork and patience or maybe a rich dad. I have decided to take the hardwork and patience route. So far i have been successful in achieving a portion of the pie but determined to get the bigger chunk. Soon!

The other day, a very good friend of mine called up. Apparently owing to various reasons/circumstances, we didn't have chance to catch up with each other in months.Just five minutes into the conversation, of which four minutes were spent on ' How are you's? and Where have you been ? etc..' and the fifth minute she said, "You both have had enough share of fun now, and its time to become serious, when are you going to have a baby ?"
I swear I was bewildered but maybe her question was not un-natural. I am sure many want me to ask the question but they can't and she only spoke it out.
So anyways I started thinking of top 3 things we have to do before a baby is born:-
1. A trip to Goa - The number one on the list. Should have gone there before but well, its never too late, have to plan out something this year.
2. An international holiday trip - We never went anywhere outside India together, its always been either him or me and that too for work. Maybe this can be postponed for a while and can be achieved even after we have a baby. But neverthless, its good to keep it on my To-do list.
3. I have always dreamt of sky diving, though Mr. Hubby is not keen on the idea of getting killed via free-fall. Wish he can agree on Bungee-Jumping at least or White water rafting in Rishikesh... Ok, I don't intend to get myself killed but really want to live life.
I just re-read my To-do list. My expectations are realistic but may take more than a year to fulfill so I guess I maynot have time to live all my dreams but someone once rightly said,'We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving. And we all have some power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing'.
So I will Keep Believing!! and Keep Dreaming!!
