Day 75: Dreams

day 75: what is one of the best dreams you have ever had


The best dream that I ever had was that I own a large house with a nice driveway and lawn and it houses a huge library. Awesome. I know I had to be smiling as I walked past the various shelves selecting an armload of books and settling down into a chair, uninterrupted to read for ages. Just me, with well leafed books and a slowly ticking clock..... Ah! Heavenly.

Day 58: Travel

day 58: places you want to visit, and why


I would like to visit Kanniyakumari. I really want to see the confluence of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea.


I want to see Calcutta and Durgapur- the place where my parents started their married life. Kolkata is also the only metro I've never been to.


Kodaikanal, Ooty and Coorg are on my list for their natural beauty.


Of the options abroad- (though I am living in Chicago right now), Venice and Paris with the taller half would top my list.

Day 26: Fast Forward Please

Day 26: 5 things you’re looking forward to
5 things I am looking forward to would be events I'd rather fast forward my life to. And these are:
My first wedding anniversary
The Big 3-0
Graduation Day for when I join and complete a Masters program
My own library
Being a better Housekeeper

Day10- Be Yourself

Day 10: what you think when you hear the words “be yourself”


When I hear the words 'Be Yourself', a host of emotions come over me and a flurry of thoughts circle my head like kids circling an ice cream vendor- all vying for immediate attention.
Being yourself :
Is Tough. It takes guts to remain true to oneself in spite of fear of rejection or ridicule.
Takes courage. Conforming to popular beliefs is easy not following our hearts even is it means being rebellious.
Is the right thing to do and is easier in the long run.
Possible only if you are strong and introspective.
Is the only way to be happy.
Always leads to success. 
Is simpler and more rewarding. 
Means being comfortable with yourself.
Is the first step to loving yourself. 


Finally, I have to end with my closing comments on the topic:
Better to be an average original than a splendid copycat.

Day 4- On Achieving Dreams

Day 4: how you think your life would change if you achieved your dream



I'm wondering how to respond to this. 
My life would definitely change to being more enriched, fuller, better on accomplishing my dreams. Realizing a resolution or dream would give me the confidence to push myself further and try and achieve tougher goals.
And of course, life would be happier. Since my dreams and goals often revolve around improving my self, so that is one more change in me and thus, my life.
To sum in a word or two, my life would be MORE AWESOME if I made my dreams come true.
