My diary of dreams, the 150th!

It is not about the dreams like that of Martin Luther King Jr. or A. P. J. Abdul Kalam’s. It is just the usual dreams that come while we sleep. One of my New Year resolutions this year is to make a note of all my dreams. Just after sharing this idea with my friends, one of them gifted me a beautiful diary. True, that motivated me to start writing whenever I get a dream.


I am sure you would have argued and fought with your brother/sister/teacher in your dream in your school days. If you think otherwise, check it with your parents ;) By the way, the statistics say that we can remember only 5% of our dreams. That was a bit of challenging thing for me to accept. I felt I remember everything. But true, apart from a very few, I forgot everything even before I start the day. That was when I got this diary idea. I would write my dream in the diary as a first thing in the morning and hence I would record at least 80% of them.

My favourites are those that show the colourful crystal balls and stars which I can hold and play. Of course, the nightmares are those that I am being very late the exam or prepared for the wrong test. It is never easy to find words for dreams ranging from “oh, God! It is just a dream” to “thank God, it is just a dream”. There are lots of fantasy things. How can you write about something that no one in the world has never seen? Yeah, "Avatar" or "Yesterday" kind of things can be done. But I can’t do that :(

Anyway, despite all the difficulties, I already got 149 entries for this year and when I wanted to write my 150th today morning, I found my diary missing from the desk. My 9 months of meticulous work… I was shocked. But then I immediately realised how I missed it - I just woke up and I know I never had a diary. So I thought I would share it here, the first one!

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu

The Kite Runner

Usually, I buy and read book suggested by my friends but no one suggested me to read the book "The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini". I neither heard about it before I accidentally bought it. I was looking for the books I planned to buy in the Chennai Bookfair 2011 and I found this book . There was something attractive, though it was not as beautiful as of many of the books cover design, it should be the cover of it, because all I could see was only the book cover. I took it in my hand and asked myself, should I buy this?, yes was the answer and I bought it. I completed reading this book last week, after keeping it the shelf for almost 2 years. I am glad I got this book. It is one of best books I read in the recent years. The phrase " For you, a thousand times over " lingering in the mind is the proof that I really enjoyed reading this book and moved so much ;) " I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975 &

New Year Resolution 2013

Though it looks very much similar to the previous years, it is still not the same. My wish list for 2013 :) Very much addicted to the the lovely voice in Um Paadham Panithen , words of God Will Make a Way , music and lyrics of Oru Naalil Vazhkai and the messages of Joel Osteen will continue to listen them, repeatedly.  Hoping to watch lots of videos of Marissa Mayer. Like one of my friends Madhavi, she is very energetic, enthusiastic, quick and inspiring.  It is between 72 - 75 kgs for the past five years and it is fine for me. Though I am less confident about it, hoping to remain in that range.  I should write at least one blog in every month.  I read few good books in 2012 and I should read at least 12 books in 2013 and write a summary of it. Here is the list of books I have (yet to read almost all of them) Unlike last year, after listening to my colleague Muthukumaran , decided to attend the weddings (reception - only if attending the wedding is not possible) of my friend
