Dream is the father of invention !


Have you ever :

wished you had the power to create a new world?
thought how geometrically perfect pyramids were built in a generation when numbers were not invented?

wished you could walk on water?
thought how the first person ever born on Earth felt?

wished you could change the colors of everything you see with your finger tips?
thought how the fish pass their life time in water?

wished you could talk to your dead ancestors?
thought what would happen if you couldn't open your eyes one fine morning?

wished you had one chance to rescind a mistake you did?
thought about a selfless deed?

wished if someone could know what you want for your next Birthday?
thought how weird it would be if people are born with wheels fueled by the food they eat?

wished you could fix things just by knowing the solution?
thought how scary it would be if trees can move and talk to each other?

wished you could be more beautiful?
thought how different it would be if there is no night?

wished you could take photographs with your eyes?
thought how it would be to be fly like a bird?

wished you could see everyone inside out?
thought how lucky you are ?

Enjoy your life. Its precious.


Don't wish for things !
Wish to do things !

Stay hungry,stay foolish....




This day,August the 20th of 2009, a dream is born. A dream of how I want my life to be..I want to create things. I love to design and make existing objects aesthetically more elegant and charming. Beauty is something science cannot explain. You just fall in love with beautiful people,beautiful voice,beautiful images,beautiful flowers,beautiful animals,beautiful products. They make a huge impact on your mind and what is the answer that you get when you ask yourself why you like them- Nothing, you just like them because they make your mind feel relaxed and soothing.Thats all. I just want to do what I love and I decided I am not going to allow my life to go waste and worthless. Today,writing this, I feel so miserable doing things that I don't have passion for. So, I am not going to do this forever. I want to innovate new ways of looking at things.People will want stare at my creation with jaws wide open. What I create should have an effect on their soul. I want to live my life as if there is no tomorrow. Thinking like this will make me feel that I have nothing to lose and I can listen to my inner soul and do things that I really have the passion for. Am I just going to work like others,earn some money and die eventually? NOPE,not in this life. I will work hard and create something new that people have never seen before. Its not just a dream, its a passion. Designing futuristic ways of looking at things, I want to re-define the the definition of beauty. I want to change the way people differentiate beauty from ugliness. I want to incorporate sophistication into ugly things. Displaying ugly things in an elegant way is an art and I want to pursue it. I want to relate and combine things that people never thought would be possible. Graphic designs, mashed into reality and grinded using a creative eye will make organisms with tender soul feel elated, feel energetic,feel passionate and end up choosing a path that will make them long for a
cosy and passionate tryst with the future and present at the same time. Pour life into the dead things and make them talk.I like it, I love it and I want to live it and of course to the full. I dont know for how long I am going to live. Nobody knows. So, why not achieve something? Why not now? Why not do something that you love? Just imagine that you are one among God's chosen few. Great people are not born great. They become great because they do what they love. Envision, plan, create,inspire and conquer !

What I lost in an effort to reach my dream !



I never lost anything in my life only till....
When I first stepped into the United States, I was all proud,eager and ecstatic to start my MS but little did I knew that my enthusiasm would end so soon. What was I going to lose? I didn't realize..During the past 2 years, I kept imagining that there is something more challenging and worth ahead buried in the time. In the initial days of my grad school, it was fun(no way near to UG in India though) under the veil of stress and discomfort. If there was anything interesting to do, then it was threaded to serious consequences if anything went wrong.As 15 months passed into the education, I finished my course work confident of having lost what I learned in UG. O yea..I learned how to make presentations and prepare reports using Microsoft' Word and Powerpoint applications...My mind started failing to distinguish nights from mornings.My body longed desperately for some good food..good food = mom's food..but no one heard its agony including myself.Why? Because I decided this falls into the long list of "could lose" things to gain something which was thought to be more important to my career.what did I lose? I didn't realize..Then came this Global Recession. It not only changed people's lives but also established a new 'normal' limit. So, what did I do? Nothing.Waited,waited and waited.......and waited......for what? For something more passionate this time..what did I lose? I didn't realize..Time flied and I was no longer the pilot. Life is short and I was wasting time on an inexplicable scale...All I did was to call people back home.Every time their phone rang, they were happy as well as scared..I still continued my wild goose chase. My closest of relatives passed away. What did I do? I called and said that I am feeling sorry about it. Thats all I could do?? YES,THATS ALL...I couldn't talk to the people who taught me so many things before they left this world forever.I missed my friends' happiest moments, couldn't share their sorrow. I stayed in oblivion of the important things that happened in the lives of the people who helped me when I needed them. Of course, "it is worth the promising future.Isn't it?" I asked myself. I didn't get any reply but I took the reply I wanted.In the nights, when I tried to sleep, the reminiscences of my mom sitting by my side and wishing me good night lingered till the days's stress forced me to slip off into my sleep. I slept but my mind never did.what did I lose? I didn't realize..I can't go out for a mid-night ice cream.I cant wake up when I want.I can't sit with my sis for a dinner to congratulate her on her success. I can't help my father in any way where in he made me what I am now. I can't kiss my girlfriend in person on her birthday. what did I lose? I didn't realize..I now can't eat good food(the ultimate goal of any living organism living on this planet), no people to talk to, no love...Is it worth? O yea..it should be !....Its not about losing materialistic pleasures. Its about losing freedom.With no one to pat your back when u lose, with no one to feel happy when you win, with no one to lean on, with no one to lean on your shoulder, with no one to fight with, life has become dull,inspid and grey.Is it worth? No is the answer this time.Others notice if you win but only you know if you lose and what you have lost.I have finally realized what I lost. My conscience is no longer heard by me.I lost my happiness,my freedom,my identity and myself in search of tomorrow and yet I say I am rocking here in the United States to my friends who call me. I am yet to start the long procedure of finding myself again. Today is a gift, thats why its called Present. Live it.
