Let their laughter not kill what defines you ---- Dream on !


If people are not laughing at your dreams, you have not dreamt big enough ... Do justice to your passions. Dream Big. Let them laugh. Let them make fun of you and call you mad. Let them talk nasty behind your back. For there is a purpose behind all this.

The laughter, the mockery and the back talk will not just add fuel to your fire, these will also be telltale signs of impending success. And then when you start walking towards that ridiculously unattainable dream ... never look back. Make setbacks and failures as your friend. The moment you fall, realise that you have more strength to pick yourself up, the moment you fail, realise you have learnt a new lesson.

Know that you have dreamt big. The lessons will be harsh. The journey will be long. But it will all be worth it in the end. So Keep Walking.

It's one life. One short life. Give it all you have got and show the rest of them that their reactions and laughter from the so called safe and mundane existence is meant to serve as signs and add fire to the drive of people who are passionate. They are there to serve a bigger purpose actually. To create a HERO. To applaud, when one is made. For heroes do not descend from heaven. They are the ones who refuse the boring comforts of a mundane life and CHOOSE to Dream. They are the ones who envision a new world, so beautiful that anything that is logical and sensible as per the majority folks, irritates them to a level of being rebellious.

No one will be able to see your dream and understand what it means to you. Forgive them the pain that they cause you by mocking at you. For their vision is limited. Let the love for your dream blind you to all the insults and the pain and let it make you walk single-mindedly towards that dream.

To Dream is to be ALIVE for it is only a dreamer who knows the song of his heartbeat. And the rest of them would not even know about this wonderful seat of emotions till they need angioplasty.

So dream on my friend! Dream on! Stay alive! Its a short life! Live on!

Thank You 2012


Time to catch up on a lot of things ....

Have not wished my dearest friends a Happy New Year and yet to go through the list of pending work .....

And most importantly yet to say thanks to the year gone by


So here's to 2012 ....


Thank you for being the toughest and most trying year of my life. Thank you for giving me so much and making me strong.

For every challenge that you brought my way, you brought a new friend, a new perspective and a new paradigm to assess life's situations. Life is ever more beautiful now.

For every disappointment and failure that you brought my way, you gave me a lesson and step by step, made me stronger to stand back up and made me resilient. Failure is a friend I have made in this year for what it has given me, no amount of success could ever do.

Thank you for the months that just flew by and thank you also for the days that just would not pass. For in between the two I realised everything is transitory. There is nothing that will last forever and there is nothing that would not pass.

Thank you for often breaking my blind trust in people. For I have a stronger and better relationship with myself.

Thank you for the discontent and fights with friends and family. Surviving each other has added to the security in the permanence of some relationships.

And most importantly, thank you for making this realisation dawn on me, the way it should, that it takes hard work and commitment and not giving up for years to become an overnight success.....

Thank you Thank you Thank you ....


I will always look back and fondly remember you.
