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...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.
