What is Dream of my life?

Dream of my life - What is the most important thing I want to achieve or own or accomplish in my life., in other words.... what is my dream of life?

In my childhood I used to dream of becoming a scientist. Now I chose to become an Engineer instead of a scientist (because scientist are paid less?)
I am not sure if that is the reason behind why I am an engineer today.
But the point here is, the childhood dream is no longer a dream now and I am not attached to it anymore.
It may be because to become a scientist was not really what I intended.May be  I wanted to do challenging work and innovate something and I wanted to love what I do. I have learnt in these years that there are other job roles where you can do innovative work. May be that could be a reason.
It may seems to me sometimes that I have traded my dream with the money or it may be that I am an engineer now just by chance and I did not put any effort to realize my dream to become a scientist.
Am I just another bloody rat running in the rats race of making money.
Is money everything?
Is this getting me anywhere ?
It is nothing wrong that the dreams change. Everything in life changes. But we should have one or other dream to go after.
So, what is my dream now?
The honest answer to myself is I don't know. I don't have a dream now, but have some goals.
When you say goals, they are not as craved for, as you do for your dreams and the real passion is missing with the goals.
I also have a wish- " To step on Moon  and see Earth from moon's surface :) ". What I hope is, in next 10 year or later,  the space tourism will pick up and I earn enough to afford a ticket.
The passion is missing in me now, I hope I will eventually pick up one in the due course of my life.

PS:  It's just an attempt to find other confused souls :)
Guys, I would love to hear  your similar conflicting emotions on any  thing in your life.

tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom

It is a handy book with life's simple effective thoughts and gives enough learning for a lifetime.I don't say it as death literature, but as one of the priority/time management book for extracting the maximum out of one's life. 

One of the observations I made is that the western world does not have enough spiritual element in their societies[ I may be wrong ] and they should eventually crave for the spirituality , where as we the eastern part of the world filled with spirituality, ignore our values/culture and is going after the western culture.How riduculous !

This book is about the experiences of an old man who is going to die due to a deadly neurological disease called "ALS" which eats away the strength of human body part by part making them inactive. This book brought me to verge of crying when going through it. The aphorisms quoted in this book has profound thoughts embedded in simple words.

Few of them are -

• Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do
• Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it
• Don’t assume that it is too late to get involved
• Learn to forgive yourselves and to forgive others
• Love each other or perish

Some of the though provoking ideas/sentences –

#  Tension of opposites –

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. “A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle. “

#  Morrie’s  understanding on aging –

As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you’d always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It’s growth. It’s more than the negative that you’re going to die, it’s also the positive that you understand you’re going to die, and that you live a better life because of it

#  Morrie’s take on Money

There’s a big confusion over what we want versus what we need. You need food, you want a chocolate sundae. You have to be honest with yourself. You don’t need the latest sports car, you don’t need the biggest house.You don’t need the money but the attention/love you get, possessing the substitutes like money. The truth is, you don’t get satisfaction from those things. What really gives you satisfaction is the offering others what you have to give like offering your time.

If you’re trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you’re trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.

# Making a meaningful life

Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.

The simple points I will take away and use from this book are

• Be a good listener. Dedicate your 100% of the time you spent to listen someone to actually listen.No multitasking. Just concentrate on that moment and get completely attached to the speaker/topic.
• Think about your perfect day. Try make every day a perfect day

Jingle Jingle Lyrics

Kabhi to kismat hi-fi hamari ho
Kabhi to t-shirt se matching ferrari ho
Kabhi to bank mein currency karaari ho
Kabhi to apni madonna se yaari ho

Kabhi kabhi aisa lagey, yeh bhi kum hai khwaishein
Khuda mera poocha kare, raza meri and he’ll pay the bill
Jingle jingle sabki jebein, jingle jingle bell
Apne paas to sikka single, so what the hell
Jingle jingle sabki jebein, jingle jingle bell

Apne paas to sikka single, so what the hell

Jahan bhi jaye ek spotlight upar ho
Sensex niche phir bhi hum upar ho
007 James Bond wali ghadi ho
USA mein dus baaran kothian padi ho
Kabhi kabhi aisa lagey, yeh bhi kum hai khwaishein
Khuda mera poocha kare, raza meri and he’ll pay the bill
Jingle jingle sabki jebein, jingle jingle bell
Apne paas to sikka single, so what the hell
Jingle jingle sabki jebein, jingle jingle bell
Apne paas to sikka single, so what the hell

(bouncing)
Mera check book lelo , they don’t accept cards
What to do, Dinar, Dollar, Euros, Francs
What’s with the money of the world in bank
Crorepati but my pocket is khaali
Pretending that I’m living on milk and honey
Who wants clothes and cars, diamonds and gold bars
I’m living off love but I’m looking like a star

Hazratein hai badi, full full hai tadi
Qaynaat chahiye, taaron se jo ho jadi
So what if sab (what if sab), chahiye (chahiye), muthi bar sahi
Jo seedhay se haasil na ho, cheen lo

One day jacuzzi wale do teen hotel ho
Apne bhi naam ki beer ki bottle ho
One day versace ka wardrobe total ho
Foreign ki ladki par rate yaar local ho

Kabhi kabhi aisa lagey, yeh bhi kum hai khwaishein
Khuda mera poocha kare, raza meri and he’ll pay the bill

Jingle jingle sabki jebein, jingle jingle bell
Apne paas to sikka single, so what the hell
Jingle jingle sabki jebein, jingle jingle bell
Apne paas to sikka single, so what the hell
Jingle jingle sabki jebein, jingle jingle bell
Apne paas to sikka single, so what the hell

Behne de [Lyrics] - Raavan

Written by Gulzar saab

Arre aankh se boond gira koi
Chingari ka tukda jala koi
Umeed ko aag laga zara
Sehra ki pyaas bujha zara..

Umeed ko aag laga zara
Sehra ki pyaas bujha zara..
Ghan itna baras ke galne lagoon
Main paani ke upar tarne lagoon...

Behne de mujhe behne de mujhe behne de
Behne de ghanghor ghata behne de paani ki tarah
Saagar mein jaa girna hai behne de nadiyaa ki tarah
Shart lagi hai mar jaane ki jeena hai toh pyaar mein...

Deh kahi bhi ho mera, jaan rakhi hai yaar mein,
Beh jaa beh jaa, hai saagar ka kehna,
Beh jaa beh jaa, hai nadiyaa ko behna,

Patte se tapakti boond ki aawaz sunai di thi
Nadiyaan mein tapk aur gum ho jaa, beh gaya beh gaya.
Jo rah gaya rah gaya.

Behne de mujhe behne de..

Mera pal pal ang ang bhar diya,
Tune jaan pe junoon sa kar diya,
Mera hai kya jo main haar doon,
Jaan teri hai tujh pe vaar doon.

Doob gaye jo suna hai saare
Tere dere aate hai,
Dil ke chullu mein bechare,
Doobkiya gote khaate hai,

Beh jaa, beh jaa, Chal tod kinaare ko,
Beh jaa, beh jaa, dhar le majdhaare ko,
Chingaari uda ke raakh se, ek boond gira ke aankh se,
Chalne ka ishara kar gaya
Kar gaya kar gaya
Sab bhar gaya bhar gaya...
