Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
-- Judy Garland, The Wizard of Oz.
... recently i read that there is an ancient palm leaf in india called the 'brighusanhita' which can predict the future of all the people, and all of it is written down on the palm leaves... people who can read this leaf can tell the future of anyone, and apparently these inscriptions have been written centuries back! the results, it seems, are surprising, almost accurate to the year and event! which led me to thinking that if everything is pre-determined... then what is the point of dreaming, because what has to happen will happen anyways.. or is it that our dreams thenselves are shaped by the eventual course of our lives, which is already known?
the question comes to my mind becoz recently i have seriously been contemplating setting up my own business and doing something creative (no, this is not related to fashion designing).. thats my dream since i was like 11 yrs old or something.. but what i am doing today isn't even close to approaching this particular dream... and the risks of going forth are many...
so do i dare to dream about being the CEO of this snazzy modern creative company or do i resign myself to the 9 to 5 (though its usually 9 to 9) nondescript software something or the other job?
the choice, it seems, has already been made...

every man makes his own destiny... lord calvin was clueless.. lets not submit all hope and human achievement to the veins of a palm leaf... no matter how impressive it sounds..
ps: bookshop idea still seems best to me...
Life is but a stage on which we play our role....
True but how you play the role is entirely ur call … So dream and work to achieve those dreams ….may be what u get in the end is what u were destined for but then u wud have lived life the way you thought u should .
Khudi ko kar buland itna,
ke har takdeer se pehle
khuda bande ko khud pooche,
bata teri raza kya hai..
-- Junoon, junoon
Perhaps we should all follow the advice of this song...
You always shape your own destiny. What you believe shall be onto you.
Dreams are like keys in our neck for the doors we desperately want to open but we cant find the key, just because we don’t know where to look.
