In reply to pravinchavre. I think only a few make it a point to Pravin. I do agree that some have more opportunities on their platter but not all of them use them well either. It does take that call from within to make it work :) Oh really?! that's something we share in common then :). Cool! I have always dreamt of bowling though, not very much a batsman!

The reality is that only a few are able to chase their childhood dreams. I guess many were deliberately directed to other aspirations rather than the things they most loved.

I too loved playing cricket, I played very well but I never thought in my childhood to play on a bigger platform. But somewhere, I remember, I used to dream to play professional cricket.

In reply to preethiprasan. So true Preethi, somewhere somehow the child in us loses its presence, you've mentioned it so beautifully :). I guess we all are lucky enough, just that sometimes we might have to work really hard to bring that child out. Poor fellow he has been subdued for a long time now :)

dream your dreams…live the reality…chase your dreams…make it a reality. possible? somewhere somehow the child in us loses its presence as we seriously pursue the rut that life has become. We need to rediscover the child in us. But is everyone lucky enough to do that? good one :)

i don’t know since i read this, i am thinking what was or were my childhood dreams, but to be honest i can’t think of any right now … maybe i had none or maybe i was a very realistic kind of a child from the age my memory cell started functioning , who probably never believed in dreaming whatsoever… i probably knew its going to be a waste of time and it will not be coming true or maybe what people call dream i know it as thinking…and i do think a lot… i think of being the best actor,writer player and anything good in that i want to be the best .. someday i think of being the most romantic person on the earth making all the flowers jealous and they asking me for a tip on how to be such romantic,fanciful and what not…. so i also do some serious thinking after all.ha ha ha.

I really love to live with my childhood dreams…they were crazy indeed ..but they had that innocence and fun of a happy mind. I wish I could relive my childhood dreams … :-)

Nicely written Vinay..

In reply to Sakshi Nanda.

He he, so true Sakshi. It was a lot more fun living in the smaller space, no wonder growing up sucks :D .

I guess as we grow up, it is always one thing or the other that keeps making us think and most times extremely unnecessary things! Probably that’s all the more reason why we should try finding that stupid self. Helps to simplify life a bit :)

Thank you for your thoughts Sakshi, pleasure to hear from you.

Cheers,
V+

In reply to Namrata Kumari. Thank you Namrata :). I think you're doing your fair share, you do write consistently on your blog, and poetry is a fair form writing. About music, well I am not sure, I haven't heard you, so.... ;). But I guess we all have a fragment of that somewhere, it is just about touching base with it :)

This is a fabulous post, Vinay. :) I am actually not living my childhood dreams which was to study literature and be a poet and to learn music… I have become an Engineer. :D I don’t know, what shall I say about this now. :p

I think the one most attractive thing about childhood was the fact that there were no ‘aspirations’. That living in the ‘now’, where victory meant winning a game of I Spy or something. Aspirations, as we adults know them, did not exist.
I do agree with you about the subconscious development of ideas. We are continuously picking up from our surroundings even though the brain puts it in sleep mode only to bring it out much later. I wonder if this is what ‘upbringing’ is all about too?
Oh yes! Let is be stupid! :D
