More than strangers

People who you've never met, never seen them beyond their social network DP's (most are photoshopped to perfection ), some you give a second glance else it's business as usual.
In the last couple of months, I've had the pleasure of knowing a few of these strangers. A pleasure, I'd say cause meeting them has been nothing short of awesomeness. Now this usually doesn't happen. For many reasons : 1) being yourself is too mainstream, although people may scream about it from their rooftops, saying it and actually doing it are 2 entirely different concepts that some bozos can never grasp. 2) people have way too much time on their hands to tell random people thing like "Hi, will you fraand me, I am cool and smart" , yes this an excerpt from a message, it happened, for real.

Anyhow, screw the bozos, about the awesome strangers I met and yet to meet a couple of 'em, in the journey of pursuing a common goal. What amazed me was that, there wasn't just a match in the way we thought but also in a way the kind of lives we've lead, the people we've met among other things.
Now this was exciting because, because they had so much to share, teach and experience, we did it together and how!
And until very recently, I hadn't met any of 'em, and when I did, it was just a validation of everything I had thought about them. I still stand by the idea that friends I've made till now are my friends for eternity but that doesn't mean I couldn't have more on board.
That instant click, that connection, wavelength match is something you are always looking out for or rather should look out for, that's where and when the magic happens

So the next time you meet somebody who you don't know too well, or before you turn away before getting a chance to know 'em, think again! Who knows, they might just turn out to be more than strangers

P.S. No, I am not asking you to accept "Fraaandhip requests!!! Please by all means Ignore 'em and Block 'em. Cheers

Why did we stop dreaming??

Remember the superhero phase you had as a kid?? when all you had to do was tie a cape (read: towel) around your neck and Voila! While growing up you'd dream about holding a guitar and jamming in front of millions chanting your name and yet another time dream about something and just dash to do it.

Come to think of it, you could be all you wanted. All you ever dreamed about.

Dreams- they say, are in a way your spirit guides. They show you the way ahead. Something you wish to do, they mirror your deepest heart's desires.

So why did we stop following them?? Our deepest desires??

What has changed between our childhood and now?

Have we evolved so much, that we refuse to believe in them?? Or have we just gone so far ahead that we can't see or hear them anymore?

Well each of us, will come up with a perfectly logical explanation for the above questions. But before you do that ask yourself , when it comes to fulfilling your dreams, do you really want to shell out reasons for NOT doing something you've always wanted to do?

If at 7 yrs, you could believe you could groove like The great Micheal Jackson or closer home.. whack sixes out of the stadium like Sachin ,then think of the things you are capable of achieving now, with a lot more experience and a lot more wisdom. Think of all the untapped talent in you, what you can make of it, what you can make of yourself. Not only will you be doing what you love but also inspire so many others.

No dream is too big and no person too small. Have a little faith in yourself, bank some on those who believe in you and just an ounce in the world, who knows you just might end up living your dreams!!!
