Lasting dreams (continued)

I could not stop writing another post to explain my real dreams and reply to the comments for the previous post.

First comment by kirti:
"Deep. PhD,cool job and writer - all pretty feasible.
Get a "stud" PhD based on your work here at IITM, that will lead you to a job at NASA and then write a book about your achievements and experiences at NASA."

By her personality of being a great dreamer and with her infinite positivism, she came up with a plan to make my dream come true :) Thank you baby. But dreams are very tough to come true. [She is still a baby, stubborn and confident. I envy her for the number of care-takers she has. My rank would be some hundreds, in the list of her care-takers]

Don't care about me :) You are anyways putting peace in life.

My real dreams or aims are quite simple:

I want to work hard in anything good I do.
I like to help everybody. Make my friends happy, etc.
I want to change somebody, which is infeasible, as many say.

Lasting dreams

Hi all ! It is long time since I wrote my last post. Reasons are many. Most obvious ones are my laziness and my tight acad schedule. I want to do my best in acads, without caring about anything. Hence a chaotic schedule and in the middle of it I want to write about my lasting dreams. Dreams which I always wanted to come true. Most of them are common to everybody. It is always nice to pull some time to write about things like what you dream to become, what kind of person you like to be, etc. It gives you a break from acads and also a chance to dream :) [ I rarely get dreams during the night ].

Here goes the list of my great grand dreams, very few of which I endeavour now:

PHD: When I was young, I use to tell everybody that I would become a scientist. Poor boy Kashyap didn't even know who a scientist is and how difficult it is to become one. But now I know how tough it is to achieve any scholarly position like PHD or scientist. Unluckily the sullen weather casts down heavily on this poor little boy's dream.

Singer: I do not think that I can become a great singer. But I love to sing all the time. Any song which is good. My all time favourites include carnatic music, old telugu/hindi songs. Coincidentally carnatic means "old", which means that I sing and listen to only old songs :)

Cool Job: Let the dream job be just a dream. Very difficult to get. What can it be other than an "Engineer in JPL, NASA" :D ... I like the real time stuff. A small extension to this dream is to work for them on internet and live in a village in India, doing farming on other side.

Writer: May be I am sarcastic with myself.
me:"Kashyap ! With your poor english, how can you dream of being a writer ?"
me:"That's why it is a dream :P."

With so many languages, we are gradually changing to monlingual system, forgetting our mother tongue.

Gift for my mom: I am the gift for my mom :) I will take care of her more than anybody, when I start earning. This is a very feasible dream.

Make lot of good friends: Though I have lot of general friends, I do not have many good friends. I classify my good friends into:

i. Babies: They are more like babies, knowing nothing about this world. I like babies very much. I love to see them grow, learn and stand on their own. I help them in achieving these. But sadly I have to leave them after they grow :'(

ii. Great people and committed people: They are very knowledgeable people . I like to stay with them and learn from them. They are like brothers and sisters, always helping and guiding. They do not leave you, even if you are far away.

iii. Once-in-a-while friends: They talk sweetly once in a while and run away.

I like to make more friends from any of the above categories.

Love a girl: I love so many people. But as we are humans, we always like to live with somebody. One can't go to the city centre and find one to live with. I think that a person is in love with another, if he/she can't live happily without the other. We can see how painful it is to fall in love :P (you can't live without your lover). Given my level of dumbness, I simply pave way for others. I abhor competitions in this field and I simply quit if I am a distractor. This dream is of least priority now.

Sorry for the arbit statements in the end, as I am very sleepy. And morning 5 am is a bad time to make general statements.
