A truck load of dreams

My Dear Chitin,

     Do you know that I used to forget your name so easily that every time I wanted to call you I would sit and think"whats his name- Salim..no no, Hussain no no......." and then I would go and ask some one whats the name of the person working in the smelly place. On one such occasion I asked "what's the name of CHITIN?" to our pathologist and from that day on, my phone always displays CHITIN whenever you decide to give me a call. 

     I read your post again today and the angel read me out your latest one and to tell you the truth I am inspired by what I read. Only a person comfortable with his past can enjoy the present. We find a lot of people around us who like to advise us and who laugh at our expense. Very rare to meet someone who is so comfortable at laughing at oneself, so comfortable with his past that he is at peace with whatever is happening around him. Reading your latest post gave me that impression, someone who is proud of most of his past and trying to accept what he is not so proud of. 

     You are spot on when you said that we enjoyed the nonsense debates even when we were shouting to make sure that our views always won. Sometimes I debated just to enjoy. But strange as it may seem I found you more like me than me. I could sense that you relate to my thoughts and it was just a matter of time before both of us agree that both of us were wrong. Others reading this might not even understand what I am talking about, but you would understand it when I say that we have to start expecting more from them. We should simply stop accepting mediocre people simply because they are hugely popular. If we dont raise the bar ourselves, no one else will do it for us. 

     I am in a dreamland where all you need to dream is a truck load of money. A land where my boss always reminds me of the pending work to be done even on weekends. A land where I spend more time travelling than talking to my friends. A land where I feel that some one is always behind me waiting for the first chance to overtake me. A land where I find that the guy who just overtook  me used to be my friend once. 

     A land where all you need to dream is a truck load of money. A land where my boss keeps me on toes to make sure that he can start dreaming one day. A land where my friend overtakes me just to make sure that he too can start dreaming one day. A land where I am willing to spend more time travelling in the company vehicle than talking to my angel just to make sure that I can start dreaming one day. Then I read posts like yours and I am reminded that there is no place for regrets in life. Only people who have the ability to laugh at themselves will ever succeed in living their dream. For when we are able to laugh our mistakes, our situations, we slowly become comfortable with our existence and it is then that we start dreaming.

     Its very easy for us all to forget the simplicity of life in this land of dreams. Do you remember I said I felt inspired when I read your post. At least till the time the post was read out to me I was dreaming and I have to thank you for that. I am inspired and I did something that I have longed to do for some time. I decided to do what I enjoy doing the most and that is to write something that doesn't make any sense. 

Let me get back to reality now. Have to wake up early tomorrow in search of my truck load of money.
