Expectations

Its strange how many people expect too many things from you without realizing that you may not really be up to it.But they do so all the same!For example,my mother thinks that Iam the best (But all mothers are the same,fortunately!).But when close family members,one's spouse or children or friends expect certain things from u and u dont think you can simply do it.Then that's a really frightening and upsetting situation.It does boost ur ego though on the flip side!
Now for example someone who will remain nameless,thinks I can write well, but my imagination is at a nadir and words just do not come to me.What do I do?

Books, a BOTHER?!

They say books are the best companion for man(or woman).I couldnt agree more.When I start a book,almost always I am carried away to a different world and am in a state of ultimate peace,happiness,bliss.As the book comes to an end I look at the remaining few pages and feel just as a food lover might feel towards the end of his favourite dish.He never wants the plate to become empty.A similar feeling takes over me when I end a book.I also feel as though a best friend is leaving me.

Then why such a title for this blog?!

Well,books also have a mesmerising and magnetic effect which make me forget all my other duties.So,I know that when I pick up a book,any book,I cant rest until the last page.And until then, the daily meals are usually half-hearted attempts.Of course,there is either more salt or less spice or food is too oily.Not just that, all other routine things get a step-motherly treatment.To the extent that when family members make small talk, my replies would be curt as I would be rushing to go to my book.So much hold do the damn,sorry,small but great things have on me!

Hence The Title!

Does anyone feel as I do?

My dreams

All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
-Edgar Allan Poe

Since I have named my blog site after dreams, it is only natural that I write something about them.All of us dream. Some more, some to a lesser degree. But I guess no one can say that they don’t dream or aspire at all.Most of us interestingly dream similarly about money, security etc. But some dreams are different. Here are some of mine.

I dream

-of always having a loving family and great friends;

-of being able to do something for my parents as a daughter ,if possible have them with me forever;

-that my hubby who’s otherwise a gem, would become a bit less serious, more fun loving and share all my tastes and hobbies so that we could do so much more together;

-of having a sea-side bunglow with a private beach with coral reefs. I would love watching sunrises, sunsets, do lots of swimming and snorkeling;

-of having a dream garden with lots of greenery and flowers of all colours and birds of all hues. There would be a lovely pond with goldfish. It would be my retreat, where would escape to read or simply sit looking around;

-of being able to visit all the places I have always wanted to. The list is endless;

-and last but not the least, I dream that we may all know when we would die! A bit crazy, that, I know! But I would rest easy if it were possible. We could say our goodbyes properly and depart this world after fulfilling as many of our wishes as possible.A sudden death, especially of a loved one would be a real heartbreaker!
