Have you ever thought about your dreams?
Recently, I watched a Hindi movie, Nil Battey Sannata and what a refreshing one it was. If you are looking for a happy movie with a message from a mother-daughter duo, go for this one.
Towards the end of the movie, there is a conversation about dreams that inspired this little dose of inspiration – for you and for me.
Your dreams are the only thing that no one can take away from you. They are yours and no one else’s. There will be people who won’t believe in your dreams but does that even matter? As long as you believe in yours, nothing or no one can stop you from achieving them. There will be people who will help you achieve them and some will never let you achieve them. Stick to people who support you and encourage you to achieve what you had set out for. And yes, don’t forget to stay loyal to these dreams. If not you, who will?
It may sound like a free advice but only you can make your dreams come true. That’s the power you have over dreams. Won’t you agree?

As I read this post, the movie Nil Batte Sannata is getting downloaded in the background. Isn’t it a coincidence? 🙂 Do you remember on one of my posts about asking son’s teachers to visit us at home in order to make his small wish come true, you had mentioned about ‘what about our wishes and dreams, my dreams and your dreams as well, ‘ Yours was the most compelling comment on that post which led me into seriously thinking – Have I stopped dreaming for myself and what about my earlier ones? And now that I can see some of them getting true, it gives me the impetus to dream more. Thanks for again reminding me and the readers to dream. Dreaming is the first step to act.

Like Kalam said, you have to dream before dreams come true. So true words. Thank you, Anamika.

I think it depends on the dream. So many dreams either come with gatekeepers or require someone else to participate in your dream. I think there are things we can do to ensure they won’t happen, but sometimes there is nothing we can do to make them happen.

Inspirational post, Parul. That is a great conversation towards the end of the movie. Our dreams are ours and ours to make. They start in our minds, in our hands and we all have a choice as to whether we want to take a step in the right direction to make them a reality. There may be the naysayers around us but they can say what they want to say – we can walk away and let them be and be happy on our own way 🙂

Bingo Parul. It’s the truth about dreams and we gotta belief, fly like the birds to reach our destination. It’s time to get rid of negative people who lack the guts and blame everything on limits of society or accepting it as the holy grain of life. I often get that, your parents have done so much for you and still you wanna leave and chase your dreams. This perspective is so flawed.

I agree, we should have dreams and must remain loyal to them. I don’t share my dreams with others because I can’t take advice on how stupid my dreams are and why I should stop dreaming them. Have experience in that regard. Thanks for reminding this truth, Parul. As we grow up, we tend to forgo our dreams and even forget to dream. This is a timely piece. 🙂 Will watch the movie. 🙂

I will connect with you later this year probably when I change the looks of my blog, Parul. My site was messy yesterday when I updated the existing theme. But spending more than 15 minutes in front of the screen is making me dizzy. Some how I managed to get rid of the clutter as of now. I don’t want to get into the techy stuff now as it would be a whole lot difficult for me to deal with now. You have done beautifully, Parul. The changes in color are make it perfect.

Indeed a very good movie. However, way before this movie came in. A line from the movie Khamoshi (Manisha Koirala and Salman) etched into my young mind that ‘One should always have an impossible dream in life. A dream which the world thinks is impossible for you to achieve but only you know deep inside that you can.’ I believe no dream is impossible. If we are determined and focused and patient we can achieve anything. I can proudly say that I have already conquered the impossible dream of my life (I can’t reveal it), but it’s a proud feeling.
