There are to-dos, there are the I want tos, then there are the dreams.. wishes things we really want but think it unachievable. What if there was a shop that sold dreams? What if there was this one place we could just walk in and buy our dreams and make them happen? For one there would be a really long queue outside this one and the price of dreams, terms of trade would not be for money. You can buy dreams but all things come at a cost and so does every dream.
Some dreams cost a lifetime of happiness while some only cost a smile, some cost hard-work and some a few tears of joy. The value of each dream varies for each person and the cost is based on what the person is truly willing to pay. No fake currency is accepted, the shopkeeper just knows when its not real. There are no bargains because bargain for the price and you negotiate over the quality of your dream too.
There's one rule - The buyer must know what the dreams are worth and must pay in full. Children have the best dreams but they cannot buy them all because they sometimes do not know the cost. Some adults realise the true value of the dream after they bought it - they either undervalued it and feel it wasn't worth the cost OR they had over valued it and got a great deal! There are few who are able to decide on the perfect cost. But the cost matters just till the dream has been purchased after that its either absolute happiness for the wish has been fulfilled or despair at buying the ill fitting reverie.
Every dream is special and so is the price each one pays.What dream would you buy and at what cost?
What an interesting perspective and thoughts on dreams! :)

ReplyDeleteDid you just read "I have a dream" by Rashmi Bansal? It is a really nice book, very inspiring, and especially YOU are gonna like it.. I believe you must have had a chance to read it already, if not, do it the first thing this weekend. The image in this post also reminds me of the cover of that book :)
