The Garden of Dreams


The Garden of Dreams

Ever gone through a situation where you saw your dreams shattered on the floor?

All of us have dreams and we want to live those dreams. Let's start from the beginning.
A desire develops in our hearts. With time that desire, that wish becomes so strong that we want to fulfill it. We are ready to do anything to fulfill that wish which has now become a dream. We plant that dream in our heart. 
What is a dream?
“Dream is not what you see in sleep. Dream is something which doesn't let you sleep". This definition was given by our former President Late Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam. 
My version is a bit emotional one- 
"Dream ia a seed when sown in our hearts develop into a plant and then tree. Once it is fully developed it starts giving fruits and flowers which make our lives beautiful".
What is heart?
The heart is a muscular organ which pumps blood through our body." This was the biological definition of heart. But there's one more definition which is not given in books.
"Our heart is a garden of emotions. When we love someone we give them a place in our hearts. When someone betrays us the heart goes through the consequences. When we see a dream it is automatically planted into our hearts."
The heart nourishes the dreams with emotions. We start imagining ourselves in a life where our dreams have come true. We are ready to do all the possible (sometimes even the impossible) efforts to make our dream come true. We get an aim in life. We are happy making all the efforts for our dreams. Everything looks like a disney movie.
But ...but...but... the time for a new entry in our story. Till now the characters of our dreams were - we, our heart and our dreams but now someone is knocking on the door. We open the door and a new character enters- reality.
What is reality?
"Reality is an important part of life, rather say life and reality are the same things. The reality of life is it never goes according to you."
Reality is not what is shown in our movies but the exact opposite of it. After the entry of this character everything changes. We try to convince ourselves that "life is still a Disney movie...life is still a Disney movie...life is..." but then reality hits us hard and wins the battle by making us realize "Life is NOT a Disney movie". 
Our garden (the Heart) which was till now nourishing and protecting our dreams is hit hard by a storm. It tries really hard to protect the plants which are still not grown into trees but fails. The storm is gone and the leaves of the plant are shattered. The heart keeps those leaves safe in a belief that one day those leaves will grow into a tree, the garden will be restored and become beautiful again. But there are only a few leaves which can grow into trees, or else their fate is to be hidden in our hearts forever.

Respect Durga

Respect Durga   Durga puja is the festival of respecting and worshiping Durga. Generally, we forget to respect her and end up only worshiping her.  I saw a girl of 13-14 years near a puja pandal. And mind it she was wearing a kurti with leggings. She was happy, it was evident from her face that it was her favorite festival. The place was congested but her eyes found their way to look at Durga’s idol and admire her. Durga, a female which everyone of us worship. She has a trishul in one of her hands. She is believed to be serene and composed until and unless someone tries to lay hands on her dignity. She uses her trishool to protect the world. While the girl expressed admiration for Durga, she felt someone trying to lay hands on her self-esteem. She was too afraid to turn back and face what was happening, so she chose to move ahead with her mother.  She again sensed a touch which felt like a thorn. This time she turned back hoping he’ll be shamefaced of what he did to a gir...

The less starry and more cloudy Night

  The less starry and more cloudy Night The timekeeper showed 2 a.m. I was sitting on a chair in the veranda and gazing at the dark, less starry and more cloudy sky. I realized the movies have romanticized the night sky too much. They say that a night sky without a moon, lots of stars and a love of your life by your side is not a beautiful one. But, this night changed my views. There were not many stars and neither the moon was visible distinctly, still it was alluring. I didn't have my one and only sitting beside me and gazing at the moon, instead I had my sister with me, and we were both quietly listening to the sounds which we were taking no notice of, since how long, even we didn't know. I realized the night sky needs not to be romantic always, it can be peaceful too as it is today. I looked at the roads, there wasn't any human or even a dog which was visible except the two of us. Still, the place was filled with a cold but gentle wind and lots and lots of silence. The ...

The Unpredictable Life

The Unpredictable Life His body was lying cold and lifeless on the hospital bed. It seemed as if he had attained absolute peace. His wounds were not healed, but they didn't hurt anymore. It looked like he had made peace with his wounds and broken bones; the wounds decided to not hurt him anymore either. The scenario was exactly the opposite around his lifeless body. He was at peace but the people who were in love seemed to have lost all the peace. A grieving mother asking his son to wake up. The broken bones were ready to cause discomfort again once he wakes up, but he decided to not wake up from his peaceful sleep.  A sister standing beside her mother, trying hard to console her but failed miserably in controlling her own grief.  A brother who did all he could to save him had nothing left to say or do other than to hide his tears and stand still like a pillar to not let the family fall. All he could do now is to make arrangements for the last rites of his brother. There stood...
