Street kids...

Like any other winter day in Delhi, it is foggy today too. And as I was on my way to the office, I saw some street kids. I saw one small girl. She was wearing a frilly lacy skirt and was dancing away, without a care in the world, by the roadside. I could see another girl in the bushes going about her morning rituals with a sad face(as it happens this way only in India, you can see many unwatchable things only on Indian roads). Maybe the dancing girl was trying to cheer her up. Then further on the road, a boy wrapped all over in a woollen shawl was playing with a bulldozer. He was driving it steering the wheel this way and that way. He was making engine sounds with his lips. Such is the life of street children. I guess they were having fun.

When I saw them, I thought they don’t even know what their future holds. They are living only in the moment, enjoying every moment. They are happy or looked happy whether their stomach is full or not, whether they are warm or not. Or do they? I mean enjoy their life? Are they happy? I hope so...

Dream or no dream...

Do you believe in dreams? Not the one you dream when you are awake. I am talking about dreams you see while you are sleeping. Do they carry any significance or is it God’s way of warning you of the approaching events? Or is it just the rerun of past events that happened in your life? If you dream of only good stuffs, then you wish it is God’s blessing. If the dream gives you sleepless nights, you hope it doesn’t overrun into your daytime.

Whenever I see a vivid dream, I check out its meaning at the site http://www.dreammoods.com/

Till now, I can relate to all the interpretations (of my dreams). I have noticed that I dream frequently of those things that I don’t let go or I can’t let go. It seems I am haunting myself. There must be a way to flush out all these useless stuffs/thoughts/dreams from my system. The only thing is I have no idea how to!

There are people who study dreams to make sense of them and achieve a better understanding of them. I can say I am also one of them (with the help of the above-mentioned site). As I go through the process of studying my dreams, I realize I get to know of its true meaning or what it implies only when the crucial time is over. Just as it happens in movies…the FBI or the police officers arrive only when the climax is over. I am not doing it to master at the subject but to get a better perspective of what is happening in my life.

Some people don’t dream at all. I don’t know how they feel. They must sleep like a log. I don’t envy them. If I were to choose between a dreamless sleep and a sleep full of dreams, I would always choose the later anytime…I love dreaming!

Repercussions...

Have you ever done something which you regret? Not at that moment but the day after or a week after or a month after! It seldom happens with me. I try hard and take decisions that should not bring repercussions. But being born a human being, you can’t help but make mistakes and regret sometimes. And the day I feel regret, it feels as if the whole world is against me. The feeling is worse when you are not in your own motherland.

Well, I don’t want to delve into this feeling. I want to forget it and start anew. I myself made the decision and I have suffered enough. From now on, I will think six times before making a decision and leave no room for regret. And I will be a thorough professional from now on…Better start now than regret double!
