Hi. So here is my first blog post. Even though I
don't know much about blogging , i shall give it a shot. After all its about
making yourself heard to your own self first by pouring it out here.Coming to
the topic very quickly, everybody has heard the saying:"Never give
up on your dreams". I believe in it completely not because i have heard it
from people around but because life's experiences have made me believe in it.
My family, teachers, cousins and close friends love me
unconditionally. I have spent most wonderful moments with them, some yet to come, which i will cherish for life. You have your family to look back to whenever you need support in life and
everything seems perfect when you get a hug from them. But there are times when
you feel nobody apart from yourself is able to understand you and is able to
see through your dreams, desires and emotions in some phases of life. I have had such phases in my
life and I am experiencing one presently as well. At this juncture we feel,
atleast i do, that our emotions or goals aren't just important anymore. The reality is we need not try to explain ourselves to people around or get too emotional about it, rather we should hold on to our dreams in our heart and
keep slogging for them until they are achieved. Only thing you can hold on
to forever is your dream, it shall never leave your hand only if you don't slip
it away.
I am studying for MBA entrance exams for the fall of 2013 and i wish to
go to my dream B School , IIM-B. Few months back, i had quit my job in
order to give my best shot for the entrance exams. In the beginning, I
was ambivalent about quiting my job as i wanted a two year work experience, but
i still i quit my job and today i can say it was the most appropriate decision.
The amount of learning and development that has happened in these few months was tremendous. Since i was not satisfied with the desk job i was given at my job,it was a correct decision to focus on my academics right now rather than
run into the rat race, lose my identity and do something unproductive. Period.
I feel i am going too much into details and digressing from the topic.
Its amusing how, in the blink of an eye, our dream get deflected to become
someone else's dream . Just because a colleague of mine is performing well and
receiving laurels for her work doesn't mean i should strive for the same. I
should rather focus on my capabilities and work accordingly. When we step out
in the world to see people working their ass off, we are stunned and
somewhere deep down we all feel insecure. That insecurity is a temporary
and it is the partial reality of life. I think being there and having felt
that, we need to focus on ourselves rather getting swayed with the crowd.
Ultimately what matters the most is that you live your life king size rather
than just survive. A very famous quote by Steve jobs explains it well:
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
To be candid, i don't know how to close the topic (that's something i have always been bad at) because you can dream forever, and writing a good blog is one of my small little dream. Bliss.

Dream, dance, travel and create your life yourself.
