Building blocks of dreams

Like most individuals, I too had a series of incidents in my life which helped me change for the better, or rebuilt the personality to what I am today. So far, marriage has been the biggest tonner of my personna. Having married for over a year now, I too had my share of ups and downs in this short period of marital life.

To start with, I am an emotional person who believes in bondings, relationships and values family life over one’s career, not to forget on the petite and everyday happiness that generates from sharing and empathy. For the ones who mistake the presence of a certain emotional quotient as the reason for the lack of a clear goal or ambition, I have only one thing to say – just as a well groomed child is the result of a well cared womb, so is an achiever born under the influence of all these factors. A desert, afterall can yield a cactus, not a rose. We have seen many realizing their dreams, only at the cost of sacrifices made by others. Unfortunately, these sacrifices are often taken for granted. Only a few worthy and sensitive individuals are capable of balancing their criticisms with genuine appreciation.

Now coming to my story, I love music and consider it to be a lifeline. So quite naturally, it serves as a fallback option. Painting is the another thing that comes naturally to me. But if the same is forced on me, I feel a certain aversion. I believe, to bring out the best in someone, you should make it happen naturally and leave it at one’s will, instead of applying force. Also, continuous discouragement kills the self confidence of an individual. A person should be allowed the freedom to decide what he/she wants instead of forcing him/her to fall in a dictated mould.

While I aspire to be a popular singer one day, I am not unaware of the basic duties I have towards my family and society, at the same time. I would like to achieve both the dimensions by striking the right balance in my daily activities, which at present mainly revolves around building my basic profile as a homemaker and a professional.

I love to dream big and make it happen in my own way, even if one calls it pampering. In future, I would like to fulfill my potential instead of obliging others’. But all these should not be bereft of human warmth, which only a healthy atmosphere can ensure and vice-versa. Afterall, we all crave for love, peace and emotional security at the end of the day, and I am not an exception.
