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.

:-). No work, thatz why.

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...

Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr | Book Review

The fragrance of old and new books- you ask any book lover and this stands apart as one of their indulgences. Cloud Cuckoo land is a story that celebrates the love for books and gives you a whiff of this fragrance, through words.  Set in three timelines and places (15th Century-Constantinople, 2020 - Idaho and in a certain unspecified near future timeframe in an interstellar ship), the book is a clever compilation of narratives from 5 protagonists whose destinies are interlinked to help uplift the destiny of a lost ancient text while the text in many ways becomes their beacon of hope to make progress in life and to march onwards. In a beautiful symbiotic relationship, the book saves them as much as they help resurrect the book. With his clever writing style, Anthony Doerr makes the reader work towards building that narrative  much like a jigsaw puzzle and that's part of the thrill of reading this book. Chapters are small yet very detailed in presentation, which gives the impre...

Return to Love

Last weekend, we(me and my roomies) went out shopping. The four of us had set out to buy sarees to wear for our roomie's wedding. We all were on a shopping spree and bought many good things and got all that we wanted and much more, of course, and by the end of the day we were contented with the result of our great shopping day. We decided that good shopping is the most refreshin exercise and sport. Take home was about 10 covers of stuff and a slight heart ache for me. No, you guessed it wrong.It was not my thin wallet that caused the heart ache. It was love. Sipping the bitter musambi juice at the end of the full day exercise, my mind was working on a lost love, a bittersweet feeling. Friends, towards the end of the shopping day, I fell in love and lost it before I realized it. The subject of my love: a very ethnic looking salwar suit. It was the perfect color combination of red and blue and had an "earth-look" ( can't define what I mean, sorry) to it and the most...
