Remember, dreams do come true..





DisneyLand must have been a dream come true to many people.

But when I stepped in, I felt that this was a stale dream which was coming true. I would hav enjoyed it so much more if I had gone there as a child. There was but another dream which was coming true, which I enjoyed nevertheless-Going places with my friends. We had a perfect holiday, going wild in the roller coasters and having fun roaming about, but Disneyland left me thinking that night and the days after . What is the meaning of a dream coming true when it is not the right time or when the right time was long gone.? What is the meaning of working to make your dreams come true if it could just change any moment or gradually over a period of time and then you come to know that all you have planned for wasnt worth all the trouble and was afterall just a silly dream?

While looking up at Disney's castle in the wild colors and artificial drops of fire in the sky with the soothing music and the luring voice tellin me that yes dreams do come true, I felt purely happy. As much as I enjoyed it, I felt a bitterness creeping up about dreams coming true.But this one visit definitely left me with another dream..of visiting the place with my kids. and of seeing them beam with happiness and of being happy about making their dreams come true at the right time. but then, I can't dream my child's dream, can I?

No.
Your child will be another human being with her own free will.

What if she prefers a day of unplanned play in mud to a fully planned disneyworld.

Corporate Kshetra

Corporate Kshetra is a corporate satire written in the form of a multi-part series. The characters and the stories from the epic Mahabharat  are transformed and fitted into the corporate world to continue to give valuable lessons but mostly to tickle my artistic bones. Part 1:  https://deepthig.blogspot.com/2023/02/corporate-kshetra-part-1.html Part 2:  https://deepthig.blogspot.com/2023/11/corporate-kshetra-episode-2.html Part 3: Taking shape Part 4: Inception Disclaimer: This is a work of pure fiction and a figment of my imagination. Any resemblance to anyone you know is a figment of yours. Acknowledgement: And yes, very much inspired by  " The Great Indian Novel" by Shashi Tharoor which I read almost 2 decades ago  and  " The Difficulty of Being Good " by Gurcharan Das   which I read a year ago and The Mahabharat TV series on Doordarshan which I watched 30 years ago and re-watched during  Covid Lockdown.

Meeting Rhett Butler.

Talked to a friend after a long time and he reminded me about an old crush of mine. I had a big crush on Rhett Butler, was head over heels for him after reading Gone with the Wind. His personality and the perfect romantic picture his masculine presence in the novel, imprinted on my mind, had blown me off my feet . As much as I hated Scarlett O ‘Hara, for her snobbishness, I liked her for her spirit. But I kept feeling that it should not have been her who should have been with Rhett!!! I hated it that a snob like Scarlett got all his attention. My crush on Rhet Butler would have been probably like Scarlett’s feeling for Ashley. (When she finally could have won Ashley, she realized that she is no more attracted to him.) Looking back, I realize how silly a feeling it was because I have come to realize that a Rhet Butler really does not exist, for his very existence will spoil his magnetism. Rhett Butler is like that complicated yet beautiful song which I had imagined myself sing a
