DREAMS AND GOALS IN LIFE—Part -A
Dear friends,
Its been a while that I wrote to all of you, and as for my self– I chided myself for being so lazy.
Back ground:::::
I started blogging some 4 years ago, on a topic very close to my chest:
THIS IS LIFE
I wrote a sum total of 24 episodes and dipped my thoughts into various facets of life, be it Life or Living; Life & Living, the Need of the hour then,—in yester years, & Now, the various precarious conditions as we face, the Good the bad & The ugly.
I also wrote that we are what we are- a lot because of how we think, what we do, and a lot because we let the emotions over ride our acts n our behavior.
Then I thought, for all that I am worth, my friends and those who read my blogs, should know who am I , what am I!!
So I began a series of “ Me- & Myself”, I wrote about myself after every four episodes on LIFE.
Along with writing my blogs on life– , my josh as a cook, ( cooking innovative recipes/ grand mother’s recipes with a new twist’, took the better of me.
So I started writing about “ BON APETIT”
( Khaney ka LUTTAF Utthaow)
I wrote and published some 40/50 recipes.
I made pictorials of all the ingredients I took with approximate measurements, what to do n how and then linked it all up with a short video, on the INSTA GRAM>
Later I was advised to add on to the YOU TUBE as well. I’m a beginner, I just take advice and start following. I make a lot of mistakes, but then , as long as I can convey what I’m writing and speaking, I guess it will be read and may be followed.
Over and around this time, I also realized that I had been climbing up the wrong branch of the big banyan tree –“THIS IS LIFE”.
So , I decided to now plunge into the COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE.
And once I began , I saw that I had opened a pandora’s box.
Out came some thirty odd episodes on COMPLEXITIES.
And then this BIG LULL—–
I forgot about my blogs, my recipe writing, my cookery videos….
My husband’s brief illness, his surgery, and after care took precedence, and I laid off my mind onto more presenting, prevailing requirements that needed more attention.
Now that things are under control, I wish to get back to my writing and your reading.
So this one — is again on” This IS LIFE _ Episode 25”.. in continuation with the previous 24.
Here , I’m going to dabble on DREAMS & GOALS IN LIFE..
This one, and may be another two, will be on the same topic.
I will number them as “A/B/ C” ..in that order.
Yes, Now that I have started MONOLOGUES/ SOLO PODCASTS what ever u deem fit to label them as, I will keep publishing them along side / may be a day or two later to the published articles.
Please read if u like reading. Please see if you like my MONOLOGUES, but do write back.
I’m no expert, no connoisseur, and would appreciate your feed backs.
Now ……………Ke sara sara …coming out next with the part A– monologue in a couple of days.
Now let me tell u a story:
A child was born.
He was named ISSAC.
He was an ordinary man; but he had extra ordinary dreams.
He pressed on regard less…. he fought with himself, he fought with the world.
When the APPLE fell on his head…he was peturbed, he was anguished…he could not get an answer that could sort out the tension in his brain.
He just wanted an answer ..
WHY ????
He wanted to know :: WHY DOES EVERY THING FALL DOWN?????
Why does it not go in the opposite direction????
People thought he was CRAZY, the world called him INSANE…But one day…
He was accepted-
He was acknowledged,-
The world finally declared him as the FAMOUS SCIENTIST without whom we would not have had so many books on Physics!!!!.
Have u guessed who the famous scientist was——ISSAC NEWTON!!!!!
( theory on acceleration due to gravity)
Lets turn the pages of HISTORY, Lets unfurl the hidden stories, Lets see , how we got such facilities like Electricity/ Telephone/ Railway engines, the Aeroplanes……
They fought with their EMOTIONS,
They struggled with their JOBS,
They over came some HURDLES
They even accepted some FAILURES,….but –
They burnt the MIDNIGHT OILS–
They pressed on REGARDLESS——,
…because..
They were focused- like a man POSSESED !!!!
And because they prevailed, because they persisted…they struck SUCCESS–!!!!!
They were Rewarded one day…
Their Dreams became a reality…..
If the WRIGHT BROTHERS had not dreamt of flying—there would be no aeroplanes /helicopters even today.
Had THOMAS EDISON not invented the BULB, we till date would have been probably living in total darkness even now !!!
If GREY HAM BELL had not invented the telephone—-Can u ever imagine a day without a phone…..And who gave us the telephone after years n years of struggle….
Sir Gray ham BELL..!!!!
And he was adjudged as the best ORATOR of the world!!!
If R.L. STEVENSON had not invented the steam engine, we would still be moving around in BULLOCK -CARTS !!!
Be it….The Wright brothers/ Edison/Grey Ham Bell/ or Stevenson—They were all ordinary men with EXTRA ORDINARY DREAMS.!!!!
Aap soch rahey hongey—Yeh kauna sa subject hai ????
Dreams- to sab letey hain…..aaisee khaas baat kya hai??
Infact, jab se Insaan paiida hua hai—tab se Sotey waqt- woh Sapne he to leta rehta hai…
Phir khaas baat kya hui????
Doston—kabhii kabhii sapne itney ajeeb hotey hain…..Itne bhayanak hotey hain ki aadmi uthney ke baad unhey pakadney ki koshish karta rehta hai…
Aksar unka matlab nahi nikaal pata, aur ussi koshish me poora din kharaab kar deta hai.
Adhiktar- utth- tey he hum sapna bhool bhi jatey hain !!!
Adhiktar- Sapne ka taluk actual zindagi se kosown– dooor hota hai…..
Some of the dreams may be very silly, very weird and may also be totally out of context.
It is not such dreams that I am going to talk to u about.
DREAMS ka ek alag pahloo bhi hota hai….
DAY DREAMING—din mein sapne –khullay aankhon se dekhna…..
To fir —Day DREAMING kya hoti hai??
???kuch eg:
1)AAp sadak par- bus mein baithey huey hain, aur safar kar rahey hain—
-Sar sar-aatee hui ek MERC…wahan se nikaltee hai…—
2)-Bahut badiya ek ghar aap ko dikhtaa hai….
3)-Aap ek 5 star hotel ke samne se nikaltey hain….
Kabhii envy..to kabhii jealousy, kabhi admiration se aap un jaaney aaney unmein–…uthney baiithney… rehney walon ke bare mein sochney lagtey hain…..
Kaash mein— wah mera HOTEL hota…..
Kaash- – – who– MERC meri hotii…
Kaash- – – who– ghar bhi mera hota…..
Haaiieyy– yeh ne thii meri taqdeer!!!!
Jaise , jis bus mein hum baithe hain—us 5 star hotel ko peechey chod deetey hain–.
Merc gadii aankhon se ojhal ho jatee hai,— Aaleeshaan bangla kaheen duur peechey gum ho jata hai….ek lambii saans lekar humm bhi PRESENT TENSE -mein laut aaatey hain!!!
YAHEE HAI NA, EK Normal Reaction ek normal bandey ka…..!!!!
———–
Why talk of the famous people of the past—lets talk of the present
Lets talk of today……
We have the greatest example in front of us—-
A small wee little boy from RAMESHWARAM, along the western coast of the country went to school.
He was a small little boy who nurtured a very big dream. A dream that he wanted to become a very big man some day.
He kept his dreams IN THE FRONT OF HIS MIND.
He focussed himself on his DREAMS
He made some TARGETS.. and set some GOALS.
He laboured hard in what ever field he worked and slowly and steadily his efforts paid off… He rose from strength to strength. From bring head of one institution to another. He was APPRECIATED and REWARDED where ever he went.
And guess what ???
He rose to sit on the Top most chair of our COUNTRY.
He lived in the most beautifully Archi textured building of the nation…with the most prestigious appointment……
HE is none other than—HIS EXCELLENCY___ THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA
SHRI .A.P.J. KALAM !!
And today we have a chai wala as the PM Of our country
Still going strong as one of the strongest men of the world today!!!
LIKE THIS , There are many a cases today which are noteworthy , and very very praise worthy.
But Dreams are dreams—and they are of many a type, many a kind, with so many classifications and various characteristics they come with.
I will discuss them in my next episode.
So please watch out for it.
See you, soon
Love you all loads!!!
