I must admit that I have taken much longer than anyone else to write my first blog.....never mind; it's better to be late than never - this is my first blog.
When I was a young boy, I used to dream a lot; dream about going to beautiful places, places as beautiful as they are found as paintings on the wall of an elite class hotel, meeting new people, embracing new cultures. This dream had fascinated me so much that I had decided to study well and get settled in such one beautiful foreign land. But life was quite ruthless to me never giving an opportunity to materialize my dream until sometime back.
Likely it was destined; my current job as an IT manager takes me to different parts of the world, relish the beauty of nature, meet different people and embrace their cultures. My dreams have been fulfilled now, but still I am not happy, there is an emptiness somewhere in the fathom of my mind. I ask myself - why am I not happy? While ransacking my soul to find the answer I ask many more questions to me.
The last couple of days I have been attending an expensive training sponsored by my employer to improve my performance. The gyaan-rich training has added more questions to my mind rather than answering a few of mine. I ask myself, 'Am i doing at my workplace what I like the most to do?' 'Is it what I had dreamt of doing when I was that young boy with those dreamy eyes?' I keep quiet....I feel that I am entangled in a war between brain and mind. There are so many such questions which i am asking myself every other minute, but the one question 'Why I am not happy' has been haunting me every moment of my life.
While doing repetitive soul searching to find an answer, I realized that I have found the answer. I am not happy today because I have stopped dreaming....
When I log off today after writing this blog, I will close my eyes with a hope that I will DREAM again..
