The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.

I have been pondering over the last few days on the subject of my first blog. I wanted to start with a fresh topic which can acquaint me with the blog world.

I rarely premeditate which is a mistake and that behavior made me enter to the blog world. I have decided to use this media as a way to express my feelings, achievements, anguish, dreams and whatever I feel like.

I still remember the day when I was in seventh grade and I asked my professor a question “What is god’s greatest gift to a human being?” She promptly replied “Dreams”. I was expecting a different answer from her like good education or good health. Looking at my puzzled face she continued.

Dreams create new ideas through the generation of random thought mutations. Some of these may be rejected by the mind as useless, while others may be seen as valuable and retained.

It’s not any day you can become a pilot or a doctor but you can dream everyday of being a pilot or a doctor. Dream big to achieve something big.

As a good student I entered into my own dream mode and then I heard a loud noise which got me back into reality. “Mahesh, Stop day dreaming and get back to your studies or I will break your knuckles”.

Well, getting back to the present I thought why I don’t publish my dreams or wishes as my first topic in the blog. Again after spending few hours I compiled my own list.
