When I was small (not as per height, coz that way I won’t be able to call myself big at all) I mean when I was somewhere in 5th grade, I dreamt of becoming a mathematician and that too a renowned one, for whom solving problems would be nothing but a cakewalk! Okay let me tell you a small secret here, I suck at this subject like anything, but then, a dream is a dream!
After a year or two, I found myself addicted to the space and decided to become an Astronomer right away. My sole focus then was getting into NASA, some way or the other. I used to surf all similar internet sites, watch space news, read innumerous papers and magazines and gather as much information as possible. Even dared to ask for a branded telescope as my next birthday gift, embarrassingly, got slapped for the same. My second not-so-successful-dream-story.
Moving on,
I am in Tenth grade, things are no more casual now and it’s high time I make up my mind for ‘What next’. And So I did. I am going to be a Dermatologist. Yes. This one. After all, I love my skin; wanna make it better, and who knows I end up possessing the best skin in the world by learning the same. So dramatic, I know. Bah, yet again, this third dream shattered when I was exposed to the harsh reality of taking med and studying like an idiot in order to be one. Probably, was too lazy to do that.
The following things crossed my mind too:
A Singer, but I almost scared myself to death with my first pathetic attempt!
A Chef, but even the cow refused to taste that delicious maggi made by me!
A musician, but banged the guitar so bad that the strings broke loose on the first go itself!
Phew, they were some of the stories of my triumphs! ;)

Finally ended up with Non-medical. Henceforth, took engineering as a career, studied Electronics for four years. Not able to understand even the basics properly till date, but never mind!
Know what, while all this time of this and that, one thing remain untouched, my love for Literature and Writing. It has that element which is more than enough to make me happy, soothing me, it’s something I can hold onto and most importantly, it gives me the power to dream! Again and again!
As someone has rightly quoted , "Dreams are the touchstones of our character"
