What am i doing????

Sitting on my desk… gazing this wonderful invention called computer, with all the social networking sites opened… instant messages popping, yours truly is wondering what am I doing?? Am I doing something?? Am I supposed to do something??

In our schools, in our colleges we make such grandeur plans of doing this, doing that. But when life actually offers us to do anything we wish, and by anything I truly mean anything, we are so hopeless with not a single worthwhile idea crossing our brains.

We all have our dreams, but most of the times we fail to achieve them citing the lack of time. But when we do have time, we sit and discuss but come out blank. This raises in me a suspicion for my own honesty. Was I honest with myself when I used to chart out big dreams?? Did my dreams have any sense of purpose??

Well, the answers cannot be that simple, because if i had any sense of purpose i would be doing something substantial. And this dreamer is still not ready to accept that he was dishonest with himself, which rules out the other option.

That leads us to a precarious dilemma of what am i trying to convey. Well perhaps nothing. Yes exactly that’s how my mind is working, trying to move forward but slipping somewhere in the way. But then the famous saying goes ‘Only fools and fanatics are always sure of themselves, wiser people are full of doubts’.

This thought might be expressed by a single individual, but I am sure the similar story goes with the thousands others sitting at home and waiting for the good times.

  1. dreaming indian- you raise a potent question..that when we were honest to ourselves while dreaming then why are we not working towards them?perhaps the answer lies in ASKING ourselves this why.perhaps we are letting our mental blocks lok bigger than they are.perhaps we rely too much on others(say some random company who chooses or not to give us their jobs) to be a medium for the completion of our dreams..we al knw d way but hw many f us hv d courage to follow?
    as reagrds your quote- questions are always good if we do not rest till we get their answers.and then ask again
    n i think ur lucky u hv a wel defined dream.sm f us r stil lurkin in dark there

  2. Yess sure courage is necessary but even then iam nt sure if we all even know d way forward...
    and the best part is wen everybody thinks u hav a well defined goal.. suddenly u find urself on d slippery ground... unsure of whether u were right in d first place..
    dis sort of dilemma changes d course of dreams as we move along....

  3. i guess no one can predict where they are going. the way forward is to just trust yourself at some level and know that whatever comes you will deal with it one way or the other :)
