"LET DREAMS BE DREAMS"



In another race to find answers to questions that have been pestering my brain since the last few blog posts..Here is another answer I got..These last few months I have had the most unanswerable questions popping up in my mind...rushing me inside-out...leaving me sad...unhappy with myself..Disgusted and wasted... (As usual)...
And then one night...when I was trying to sleep on my wet bed... (Wet with tearz... [: P]...!!)...just like many other nights...I was feeling lost...unwanted... (As usual)...2:00 A.M. …a scream...I sat up...it was all hush outside...and very-very noisy inside...a shuddery lull…I went out..Nothing...the squall...I realized...was from within...my conscience...was screaming to be heard...and I tried remembering...the last time I talked to myself...it was a long…long time…since I averted doing that..And now I couldn’t do it anymore...and so I surrendered and took heed of it..Curled up in my balcony...no stars, no street lights...the only thing I could hear was the rain drops meeting the ground...and forming ripples..I wondered how something so small...could create half-a-hundred ripples...flowing out from a point...circling on and on and on…
This is the way things are happening in my life...maybe something as small as a droplet...since neglected...has caused the ripples of unhappiness..But what is that little thing? Why can’t I undo it??..How much I wish the ‘backspace’ on my keyboard...worked in my life...i wish...i wish...I wish..!!..(Ok...let’s not talk of the things tat can’t happen)...so I sat pondering over the questions my conscience was putting up on me...
It asked me...the reason of being unhappy...when all that is happening in my life is only because of the decisions I MADE...why am I blaming the life to be unkind to me...when all the things I got are the ones I CHOSE..??And why am I sad when I had promised it... (Read conscience)...to be happy in wateva I get...thankful wen I get gud...and managing to pull myself off when bad comes in my way..!!Why am I complicating things now...when I loved simple..!!..And why am I losing strength when I knew since the beginning that the ways I chose...are not bcuz they are easygoing..(Actually they were never meant to be easygoing)..But because I feel-like passing them...awww!! I so miss the gurl inside me who wanted to live life in ‘slow-motion’...who wanted seconds to pass like hrz...just so that she can enjoy every moment..!!..And why now do I want to fast-forward my life?? (Silly!!)
The answer I managed out to all this was EXPECTATIONS...ones that I have from me...and those that my frnz...my family...and the world has...and just in the rush to finish all what they want from me...I’ve been heading for the hills since long now…I’m tired..Exhausted...and maybe I’ve missed myself somewhere in the hie...its just when dreams turn into expectations...that all gets bungled..!!When I was in grade 6...i dreamt of being a doctor...and now this is wat I expect from myself...wat my family expects of me. And all the running I’m doing is just to stand one-piece and victorious on their expectations..It is no longer a dream anymore...it’s a duty..!!..
Now what happens when dreams don’t come true??Do we cry over it..??No...We sleep again...have a new dream that night or maybe the same one...but what if expectations aren’t finished??...we feel busted...and wasted...
So what I can now conclude from all the thinking that night...I scribble it into a little not-a-poem…


“Let dreams be dreams,
Have a B-E-A-utiful dream each night...
And if the dream doesn’t come true, don’t worry,
Have a new dream tonight...

But in all this rush...and pace of life,
Don’t let your dreamz and expectations coincide...
Cuz then is when the going gets tough…
And that is when it HURTS INSIDE..!!..”

Sakshi Arora said...

The way i see it..(and i hope it makes you feel better)

The best situation in life is when the lines dividing your dreams and the expectations from you blur into nothingness. You work for one goal..while you slog to meet the expectations you are on your way of realizing your dream.
When you fulfill the expectations you start living your dream!

What more can you want from life...at least, unlike poor poor me, you didn't have to choose between your dream and your so-called duty(call it your parents' dream for you)!

Whatsay?

Prashant Sree said...

Hi Nikku,

Very impressive article. You have summarized the one of the essence of our life.,. Many of us like to rush past our present moments and then wonder how time passed by so soon. The thoughts you had meditated upon are very true in every way. Yes, Expectations builds up tremendous pressure and it is a litmus test of a person's character, how well he is to take on challenges. I loved this line:

“Let dreams be dreams,
Have a B-E-A-utiful dream each night...
And if the dream doesn’t come true, don’t worry,
Have a new dream tonight..."

A new dream everyday... Simply Superb.

The last 2 lines

"Cuz then is when the going gets tough…
And that is when it HURTS INSIDE..!!..”

Over a period of time when you start realizing and learn to cope up with your dreams and thoughts, the last line would get modified as :

"Cuz then is when the going gets tough…
That is when the tough gets going..."

I dont mean this only for rhetoric sake.,. It is the truth.

Drop in by my blog too. Would appreciate that. :)

Happy Writing !!

Cheers !!
