I have a Dream, letting me not to sleep!

Probable cover of the book. May be,may be not.

"I am going to be a doctor" I told my mom when I was little and tiny. My dad said " yes, we want you to be a doctor and brother is going to be an engineer". Wow, I am going to be a doctor daddy? Then my name is going to be like Dr. Amrita... Isn't it daddy? Mamma did you hear.... My name is going to be “Dr. Amrita". Brother, haha I laughed at him and said..I am going to be a doctor. What are you going to be? An engineer? Boo boo. Living my dreams I ran outside the house. I told all my friends that I am going to be a doctor. We played hide and seek and I got home. Having dinner at the dining table..I was so excited about the dream to be a doctor. I shouted with a spoon in my hand..Yeiyy mamma I am going to be a doctor. Doctor...Doctor!
Tired day it was. I slept. Next morning I didn't remember that I was going to be a doctor. I started a new day..With new thoughts and new dreams. That's the best part of being a kid. You just forget the things easily and move on (Just like the new Fast-track add that says move on after a break up). You move on with new day..with new fresh thoughts and things to do.

Few days later I was in my teen age, and I saw these young girls, the name and fame of the actors and actress. So damn inspiring and irresistible that I goddammit wanted to be like them. I said to my Mom “Mamma, I am going to be an actress". Started dressing flowery and silvery, I build another dream. Lived the dream, tried the make-up, the red lipstick, the base powder with little Lakme foundation. Wore trendy clothes and wanted to be the most famous person in the world. In my own world of dreams I wanted to sit on the first place in any award winning show! Dreams..I tell you are weird. "Mamma, (I asked silently) while we were watching a T.V. show. Am I beautiful mamma?” Tell mamma.. Am I beautiful? Am I fair? Are my features sharp? The reason I asked her all this was because I wanted to be the most beautiful person. I realized that was another of my dream not going to come true.

Growing up, the time came when I wanted to select the subjects in my High school. I realized I have a keen interest in Business. I decided to take commerce and Management.I didn't wanted to be a doctor anymore (yes. My childhood dream..when I ran to my daddy and said.."I am going to be a Doctor daddy" did not exist).

Completed my Graduation in Human resources. Wanted to be an H.R. Manager. Did M.B.A. in Human resource management. I was a HR girl, and finance was not my cup of tea. I was a kind of scared of numbers. Yeah..I was.. I couldn't understand the calculations and the XYZ rules.  So I was sure..I want to go into H.R. Luckily or unluckily I got placed for taxation in one of the leading firms in United States. The day of placement I called my daddy “I shouted on the phone...Daddyyyy I got placed...and I am the only one who will be doing Taxation from H.r background". What??What are you saying..?he asked.  Yes....Yes...daddyyyy.... okay..okay..bye..I need to talk to mom..I called my mom, brother..and everyone...They all blew out of the water for few days!  Phew. Two years...I decided this is what I always perceived of. I loved doing taxes..I was crazy......I was going mad to pick up on the laws, rules. I told my brother one day "you know what..I really enjoy working like crazy.I think this is what I am going to do and this is the place where I am going to be whole of my life. He said" what about your dream to be an actor". He was giving me a hard time asking me that question. "Huh"..I said.

I had this wildest dream to sing all of a sudden and become a guitarist. I bought a guitar from my first salary and started going to guitar classes. I bet playing guitar is so soo much difficult..I realllyy wish if i could have been able to play.. I used to get nightmares..about me playing guitar..in a big concert..and then morning looking at my guitar..I used to get back to the reality and start doing taxes.

I had this another dream to become a socialist, I started teaching the students, going to schools, Mentoring..and I decided..after my few years of working life..I would like to contribute something to the society. For free.. OMG...Crazy life and crazy dreams....

But I have dream presently..letting me not to sleep...I somehow figured it out with time. I figured out what exactly I am good at. To write. I just see a word..or I just see a incidence..and I want to write about it. I want to write article always. I want to write a book...I am crazy for this.. I am craving to write everyday...when my life's so busy working in office.I keep ordering books, reading new stuffs, so that my writing can be more effective. I have the nightmares..looking at my book. I see the words flying in the air..In my sleep.. I think always about the title..the chapters..the story..the presentation...and everything....I think about the expressions.I think about the day when my dream is going to come true. And this time when my parents visited.. I told my Daddyyy.. " Daddyyy- Mamma... I am going to write a book.. I am going to be a writer!". They looked at each other..looked at me..and said.."okay". What can be the best reply from them?

I have found my ultimate dream in my life....

What can be the best compliment than this..given by one of my friend, and a batch mate..

".why dont u try your hand writing a book..chetan bagat style..!very few ppl work on things from heart ..u are one lucky girl..who knows u can become top selling author..M serious..u have a style of writing ..just have to polish your skills..don't worry as far as buying the book..there will lots".....


We all have dreams...changing always. Modify, alter, replace, Interchange, exchange, convert your dreams!..just find the one you are most passionate about...Follow it..Live for it and love it. We all are good at something or the other...Let your dream come true and not only just be a Dream!

We alllllll have that one skill that can make us the world move around us. Follow the dream..that will not let you sleep!

OMG..omg..omg..... I am sooo accelerated!!!!!! Wish me luck...

P.S.: May be my next dream will be to get married!:P:P lol..A goal free life. okay jokes apart, this article I wrote long time back, may be four months ago when I started writing my book. I thought people would think I have gone crazy to write a book and so kept myself back in sharing it. But now when I am almost there to publish the book I can share this with people...

  5. Wow Amrita - now I think I regret that I had not read your blogs/posts before. You write so well...there are many things which we just keep thinking about...you have wrote them actually...Honestly, many of your blogs I felt as if you have brought out some of the things that has either happened to me or with someone that I know...several things we keep thinking each day but do not share it with anyone as we don't know how the person would react or we are confused as in whom should we share it...There is a saying (I don't remember the exact words but trying to frame the meaning) "Pen is greater than sword"...It is like reading your past in present and then you can open it whenever you want to and read it-live it again...great job Amrita....Wish you all the very best for your future writing...
