Dream...to turn it into Reality!

Albert Einstein said: “Atleast once in a day allow yourself the freedom to think and DREAM for yourself "

Dream – such a calm word it is, a word with so many mysteries to unfold, wishes to fulfill and smiles to bring. A shining hope for success, a grappling fear of failure, dreams come in all forms. Sometimes they bring happiness in amounts countless to hold, other times they alert for a stormy cold. But still, YOU MUST DREAM, to have hopes and faith, to wait for something good to happen, to predict something right and wrong, Dreams show you the way, almost all the times.

Dream is like self-entertainment that our subconscious mind creates for our conscious mind. But when we take them too seriously, they are ought to become true.

I had a dream too, well, I have a dream too. I dream a lot actually, with open eyes most of the times. But the fact is...I believe in them a lot. I am a dreamer, a serious one.

I ONCE DREAMED ABOUT living on my own. I used to get frequent dreams of an unknown place, quiet, dark, cold, free and unique. I always remembered this dream whenever I got up from one. It was a fun filled entertainment time for me whenever I saw it. I was curious, I was excited, I was willing for my dream to come true someday. Well, dreams and reality never match 100%. My dreams had a fictional touch to them. There were angels and villains. There was sunlight and fog. There was warmth and chill. It was like a puzzle waiting to be unfolded. There were questions waiting to be answered. Each dream had a link, but each dream was unique. It all meant something in common, but it had a new rhythm to guide into. I saw new places, I saw myself walking on empty roads. I saw new people, and saw meeting new friends. But amidst all this, there was one thing common between the dreams and reality - I WAS VERY HAPPY.

It was a foggy dream like any other, hazy and translucent. But I enjoyed the feel, as if I was into it already.

This dream was a glimpse of my hope to live freely. I craved for freedom, to open my wings and fly like a bird. 

Today I am proud to say, I have lived my dream more than I felt it. I have lived every bit of it in a royal way and I cherish it still. This dream did come true. I got a chance to study abroad for six months. I got a chance to live and travel on my own. I was free, I was independent...I LIVED ACTUALLY!!!! There isn't an experience happier than that. All those mysteries, solved my doubts and I got answers to all of them. Well, if I get into more details, I can write a novel....But all I have given is a glimpse of a true experience which gave me a reason to discover myself. Today I have a reason to dream more, hope more and believe myself.

DREAMS COME TRUE, you must only have the courage and faith to SEE ONE, and Believe in it.

Loneliness v/s Freedom

Loneliness and Freedom – these two words are very much common, but still many of us tend to misunderstand them. Result - When we demand freedom, it becomes loneliness, and when it is loneliness, it slowly converts to freedom. Confused? Well, I thought so you would be, and I am here to ease out this confusion, by questioning, reasoning and trying to understand what exactly is LONELINESS? What exactly is FREEDOM?

To be true, I am no one to speak about Life. I haven't lived it myself...Yet! Its a process for each one of us. Its a learning at every stage. But remember - "Its never too late" attitude does not help every time  Sometimes, it is actually TOO LATE. Too Late to turn back and amend for everything. Too late to ask for forgiveness. Too late to rekindle and too late to speak out. 

Enjoying Loneliness and getting used to it, is termed proudly as freedom by many of us. While we usually make the worst mistake by opting for freedom and end up being damn lonely. It’s a cycle you see. If man had to be happy alone, without responsibly of any kind, God wouldn't hare created Adam with Eve.

 We always keep our ego, choices, and so many issues making small things just too much big, that they become difficult to perceive and handle at the same time. Small issues seem so so big that our own life starts to seem too small. We rate our priorities as per the comfort levels. We rate people, friends, loved one as per our adjustments. Priorities of less important things are more, and all but life, living is so less important. But what if it comes to end at certain point of time? I mean, what if someone close to you is on the verge to become far from you forever. When we are on the edge of loosing something precious, suddenly our ego gives way to everything, suddenly those so called big issues seem so small and suddenly LIFE becomes the most important factor of existence. Suddenly strength conquers our soul and we tend to do just anything for having it closest to us.

Now this was a philosophical concept. How can we actually apply or how much is it valid in the life of every individual. Well, don’t be surprised, but each one of you out there, including me, is a part of this strange cycle called REALIZATION of Life where we slowly confuse between freedom and loneliness and end up suffering from both.

We all are Involved in our busy schedules everyday. So many problems we have to face. In concentrating for one, we neglect the other. Or even if we plan to give time to everyone, we ought to fail, and then comes the biggest, dangerous but most common question: WHEN DO I GIVE TIME TO MYSELF? Well, now will you call that a Right to freedom? Well, in the beginning it is surely a feel of freedom, because the so called Extra things have lessened in your life. But..this is what leads to Loneliness. Thinking about you isn't a problem. We all do that. But the way of thinking, the approach, and the nature of dropping important things from your life aside, is what makes you alone forever.

Life is too short to keep changing relations in your life. For living and achieving one, we give up the other. But why don’t we realize the loss. We humans have started to accept just whatever comes our way, we get used to everything so fast, we have started to find life in easy adjustments and so called reasons to enjoy life. That means, whatever we do, or whomsoever we are with, that all doesn't add life to you. In the end you are important to your own self and nothing else matters?

But, in all this just imagine that suddenly the ones you neglected, for some ego issues, anger, or anything, suddenly goes away from your life. Gone never to come back. Its after that, that we realize  why the hell did we neglect? But whats the use? That person cannot hear you anymore, but then, your loneliness creeps in and takes place quietly of freedom. Why can't we value someone while they are around us is something hardly anyone of us understands actually. 

Last but not the least - Freedom can be felt with countless relations in your life too. Its the way you are with them - Not they with you that makes the Sense of freedom achievable  Loneliness is what you make of the betrayed feelings and negativity inside you over powering your egos and giving way to less prior things. 

Hope this little lengthy article helps you value the neglected...find the freedom in yourself and around and add a little positivism in the way you prioritize things and people in your life.

The best judge is Your Heart. The best Critic is your Mind. And I guess each one of has these both!!

People are like....MATERIALS

Wikipedia says :
"Material is anything made of matter, constituted of one or more substances. Sometimes the term "material" is used more narrowly to refer to substances or components with certain physical properties that are used as inputs to production or manufacturing."


I would say, we humans also are different types of materials. We are either Raw or Finished. We are seldom rough, other times smooth. We are tough or flow easily. But we all are materials. Every material has a different property and the objects or say crafts produced from it have properties dependent on their raw material. Every human being has unique properties like a material has. Some tend to be reactive, some tend to be calm. Some tend to form masterpieces, others are found in abundance everywhere.

People like water flow smoothly and take volume of any situation. They are very flexible, transparent, clear and dissolve just anything coming their way. They have no colour when in original stae. But they tend to take colour of the strong flavours absorbed by them. Sweetness and saltiness given by others, do not appear to disturb them in any way and they retain their clarity. Such people are important in each one of our lives, and form the essential part of society. They are very helpful to everyone.

People like Clay are very natural, enjoyable to play with and easily mould into any shape with the touch of other. If the touch is soft and full of love, they become amazing forms, unbeleivable to eyes. But if handled to just scramble aay, they become loose, sticky and useless and mix with the earth. With time they become stiff but somewhere gain cracks easily. Break them, and they are gone completely.

People like Stone are too hard to deal with. They have an unbreakable heart, we can say. Whatever may come, they aren't affected. You need to keep dripping like continuous water in order to change their nature or way of thinking. Their tough nature is either creative or turns fatal for others. But they can be carved into masterpieces if given a right direction and tools.

People like wood are soft and strong at the same time. If they can get carved into fine crafty stuff, they can also form amazing joinery for strong bonds to retain.

People like glass are brittle but transparent, honest, true. You can actually see through them. They never speak what they don’t want to. They are straight to the point, and say whatever comes their way in thoughts. They actually never lie. Sometimes they tend to form crystals and stay strong, other times so brittle, that they break to never-joining pieces. But the worst part is, these pieces don’t hurt them, but they hurt others to realize “wish they could join them again”

People like metal can be precious as well as fake, but they are very strong and slender. They can be beaten to a certain shape. Form mixed alloys, mixed nature. Not easy to deal with always.

People like paper can be amazing memories to keep but easy to tear away too. They are clear in original, but carefully save your feelings, secrets and ca be refereed back again and again. they can be colourful, they can be totally white. They can become amazing forms if crafted well and too fragile to handle if treated badly. You need to value their importance rightly.

People like rubber are very elastic and actually stretchable. They can retain almost any kind of shocks and nothing happens to them. They are soft, but tough.

People like plastic, have a total plastic life. They are artificial, but colourful. They can mold in just any shape and situation. They do not break easily either. They last long and know ow to maintain themselves. They are smooth and attractive.

Well, there are endless materials in this world, and now you can well relate yourself and others to some particular ones. I have just mentioned the ones I found noticeable in people with my experiences. Each one of you will have a unique one surely.

As the other materials are by products of the original…So are humans. That’s why everyone is unique in some or the other way.
And finally, some materials are incomplete without the others. Some dissolve with their own types, some find ones with exactly opposite properties and make a great bond. Some are best alone. We all have a vague idea as to the kind of designs and crafts possible with more than one materials. Some get carved, others inlaid, some need to be fastened and some fabricated. Some form flexible joints, others transform totally into something else.

But the gist of this theory is, each one of us has a unique identity somewhere, waiting to explore something new and make a name, make something which all including your own-self can admire. We must never give away our own properties for the sake of becoming something else, its nothing but a fake identity then.

Retain your Identity people, Be yourself, You may never know....there may be a precious stone hiding in you somewhere!!!

Maybe?

That night was cold, and the wind had a chill,

That sudden discourse, of the silent windmill,

A heart too lonely, a heart in pain,

Wanted to give up all and just go insane….

Maybe it was bad time, maybe out of control…

Maybe it was worst time, maybe a downfall

A stage of life, a shivering knife.

A deadly…coldly…straining strife.

To flaunt like a swan…to dream for the stars,

To dance in that rain, to wash all the scars,

Maybe it was a hope, maybe it wanted to elope;

Maybe it was a charm, maybe it wanted more.

Out of all those moments…those breathless memories…

A soul inside, never wanted to be lonely.

But when the end has to come, no one can control…

Hopes die…tears sigh, a body separated by the soul…

Maybe it will come back, maybe life will find its way

Maybe if its just a bad dream, maybe I will wake up one day.

Proud to be INSANE….

(Photo Credits: 19 year old, South Korean painter/illustrator Minjae Lee finds inspiration in the human face and abstract movement and colour.)

In the world of laws, when justice fails to play its role,

Boldly, bravely to ruin every innocent soul,

If I raise my voice, in deprived choice,

I would be proudly labelled as INSANE.

In a group of dudes, where the character is nude,

Publicly, socially, raised voices are rude,

If I calmly make a decision of my own,

I would be declared widely as INSANE.

In the journey of life, which (I think) belongs totally to me?

Willfully, proudly everyone makes it a public property,

If all I demand is for freedom to live,

I would be caged further for being INSANE.

Rights, choices, like fake voices,

Run throughout my system like numb noises

And all I am expected is to answer all this INSANITY?

Just to be further jailed as INSANE.

But I want to let go off that foggy truth

This creeps around me to give a saggy look

For innocence and care, love to spare…

All I get is an unending despair…

And demands don’t end, but just give pain

And make the mind go further INSANE

And if with every right move, I have to prove,

To get in full groove, just to get your expressions approved..

Then it better be, I remain like me…

And rule the world of INSANITY…

As no matter how much the purity rains…

I will always be labelled INSANE.
