“I am telling you dude, one day I will be awarded by Billy to be the best .net developer for Microsoft” I said and took another drag of smoke. My friend, Alex nodded without looking at me and said
“I am going to make the best citrates in the world.”
“Great man, whatever you love man, whatever” I replied in support as a friend
FLASH!!! – 6 months later
“I never thought I will get selected in such a big multi national firm man” I said on call with my same old friend Alex
“After you failed in all possible programming subjects in collage at least once it is a big deal man. And I never thought my girlfriend will force me to leave smoking and encourage me to study harder.” My friend said who has just joined one of the IIMs
“But you still are dragging aren’t you” I said
“Not cigarette, she said nothing about doping. You always hear about people making big names from IIMs into weird fields. I am going to me one of them and make the most compact Huka which you can fag in front of anyone and they will not even know.” Alex replied while still being high
“Do it man, at least you do what you love the most. I got trained in mainframes and I don’t even like it. What do I do man” I said in sad voice
“Kill it man, you can join me in the making of history” Alex said
“And what am I suppose to do? What will be my role?”
“Drag all day long” He said and we laughed
FLASH!!! – 6 years later (Now)
“Dude I never thought we will be in US together when we were in college” I said while take a sip of a fine bourbon
“What are you saying man, this was my dream other than making big in smoking industry” Alex said and we laughed
“But you did make big in smoking industry. Life takes stupid turns man, who knew I will become a Test Lead when I dreamed of being a .Net developer and got trained in Mainframes and failed all software subjects. You will be working as dept. Chair Person of ASA in US.”
“Shit man, I work at Anti Smoking Association. I still can’t believe” Alex said and we both saw his kid running in the hall way. We both looked at each other and said in chorus
“He is going to fulfil the dream”
“My kid is going to rock as developer I am telling you man” I said when I don’t even have a kid
“Mine is going to manufacture the best cigarettes in the world” Alex said and we gave ourselves a hi-fi which was very sad in honesty.
Truth of life is that you live in a cacoon during college days and dream about a life out there which you have not even seen. There are various people to guide you, support you like your parents, teachers, elder brother and sisters but at the end when you start to fly you listen to no one. Instead of following your true dream you just try to fit into the crap of “society”.
Another school of thought is at the end you live a happy life with your loved once and become part of the same “society”… you become a beautiful moth who knows how to fly but you are so far away from your dream that you just stop chasing it anymore.
Dream Big!!! Fly High!!! Be prepared to fall any day!!!
