Early Morning Blues...

Waking up at 0345 in the morning has a flavor of its own.
The cool weather outside, the rumble of heavy vehicles from the highway, the distant howl of the dog, the barking attack of that rowdy group of dogs that welcomes the odd human being, and the pin drop silence otherwise...
The beautiful sky with those twinkling stars and planets which gradually fade away, superseded by the emerging redness of the sky, wait a minute, that doesn't happen yet.
It will happen after an hour or so!
And then all of a sudden from nowhere you remember the stiff targets you've set for yourself, the dream that woke you up at this odd hour of the night...shit, I gotta run!
I've got to get to work! Get some coffee and get to work!

Dream on!

Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter,
Sing for the tear,
Sing with me,
Just for today,
May be tomorrow the Good Lord will take you away.
Dream on, Dream on,
Dream on till your dream comes true....

These are lines from one of the most inspirational rock songs ever (personal view)
and these lines are so true...
We Indians are now making our dreams come true...
The dream of seeing every child getting proper education, the dream of healthy food and shelter for every single citizen of the country, the dream of being a pioneer of innovation, the dream of being a world leader, the dream of being among the uniformly prosperous countries of the world.
And we're doing it, slowly and steadily but we're making progress.
Though the boom in the economy cannot be deemed slow but at the grass root level, the progress is still slow but not absent.
Its because we're working our asses off to make our dreams come true.
And the magnitude of our dreams knows no bounds...
Here goes to show the world, that we Indians are not hesitant about dreaming!
I found a live example last month while I was traveling from Chennai to Mahabalipuram on my friend's scooter!


Have a look...

No offense intended, but....
aargh, I'll be a nice man and say I wish and pray that his dreams come true one day!
Amen...
