Dreams Unlimited

We all dream and desire right.Thats what keeps us going.With age dreams change.When I was a child I dreamt to be a teacher,after few more years I wanted to be an engineer,after few more years I wanted to be an IAS.But I ended up being in IT.Yeah,I never knew how it would actually feel like to be a software engineer until I ended up being one. He he he  

So everyone dreams of something and with time and circumstances dreams and desires change.Now,I have completely different dreams and desires(**it’s a secret,can’t reveal**) ;).But most of the people have same fantasies and desires during a period of their life time.I am not what I wanted to be but perhaps this was what I was meant to be,perhaps this was where I was supposed to be,to make me what I am today.We plan,we strive,we work hard but many a times we end up being somewhere we never thought we would be.But sometimes it is better than where you could have been and worth it.

Leaving all this thinking apart let me lighten up and ask you what you wanted to be when you were a child? I wonder how many will say a software engineer…He he he

Hey! you are right. Most of us never dreamt about SE, however on the flow we end up here. As for as my dreams, I dreamt to become a CBI officer :).

Ahh... The number of times we have killed our dearest ambitions to go for something "safe" . Sometimes to pay heed to our parents ( not in my case ... they have always supported me whatever I wanted to be) , sometimes discouraged by our foibles . Even sometimes we succumb to our peer pressure when their own choices seems so glamorous. But at the end of the day only one thing happens -- our dreams die a silent death. I wish I could give away my wish but then I fear it will give me away also.

Only one profession comes to my mind which might not give me away is that of a Lawyer . The love of that particular profession came after watching/reading a fictional character whom I idolize a lot. Of course he is a flawed character but he was also equally brilliant.

So r u a lawyer???I even once thought of tht...he he he..What you said is really correct...Choosing a profession should be an individual's right which is being plagiarised by many factors as u suggested :)

@Author : No I am not a Lawyer . That's why I said that those are unrealised dreams . Apart from Lawyer , I also wanted to be in a host of other professions but for the permutations and combinations of reasons I have given above I am not one of them .
