Life is a Dream

Few days back, I had posted a Blog, wherein I reffered to few important dates, which we remember without fail and try to celebrate those Moments, making them Kodak Moments... Just recently, I had added few more such dates in my Life to remember. One is Mar 17th, 2010, which was the day of House Warming (Greh Pravesh) for my new Apartment and suddenly to top it up with the Dream Run, I added Mar 23rd, 2010, a vacation to HongKong with the family. Both the events were memorable and so exciting that it will surely be difficult to forget these events in the near future. Even my family will surely remember these two events.
These two occassions are not different than many others but the way they unfolded in my Life, makes them special, like a Dream come true. A kind of special Gift from the Almighty God, whom we all pray and ask for Help in our everyday Life. It really makes me believe in Destiny and the importance of Dreaming with Open Eyes..
First, House Warming of my New Apartment, all my friends and close associates know that I had bought a 3BHK Apartment at Dwarka in 2003, which was expected to be allotted in late 2004 but it never happened till date, for reasons best know to the almighty God and the Government Officials at India sitting on the files meant for speedy Service to the Common Man. Somehow, I got a ray of Hope that the Flat will be allotted in 2007 and I proactively shifted the school of my kid to a nearby reputed school and also moved in with my Brother at my parental property on 19th May 2007, temporarily to take care of hassles while shifting in the middle of the session. At that moment, I thought that it is a smart move on my part as I will not have to wait for acedemic session to start, to move to my Dream House and I can shift as soon as I gets the possession... But, for next three years, the ray of Hope remained a Negative and never developed into a Positive... then one fine day, during our customary evening walk at the sides of the Palam Railway Platform, announced to my wife "lets forget about the Dwarka Flat and plan for next move", She agreed and we started evaluating our next move..
The best possible move was to renovate our House at New Palam Vihar at Gurgaon and move back and the least possible was to move to a rented Apartment at Dwarka. My wife rejected the idea of Rental arrangement and we started nurturing the idea of moving back. But, moving back was not easy, as my wife was working and it will be difficult for the kid to be alone after coming back from school till atleast 7pm.. Inbetween, our evening walks through busy lanes of Palam, we saw some Builder Floors and refocussed our discussion to one new Dream, "Can we buy one of these new apartment". Within 2 months, we browsed throght many such apartments and choose the Best possible one and confirmed the Booking. Till date, I am really not sure, How I arranged so much of money and paid for this new apartment, but I did it.. and moved in with all my Dreams and Hopes, to enjoy the Blessings of the Almighty God. This event clearly showcase the importance of understanding the Limitations in Life, assessing the situation, taking Timely Decisions and then going all out to prove to the world that you have taken a Right decision. Also, its important that all along trust your abilities and keep faith in the Almighty to help you..
Second, while finalising the Date for House warming, I had to go to Germany for an official Visit and I just thought "why I am going alone, what about my family?" and the Almighty gave the answer.. Next day, I recd a mail regarding a discounted Point redemption scheme from Jet Airways to HongKong. Despite spending heavily on the new apartment, I took a decision to take my family to HongKong for vacation and rest is History. We visited HongKong from 23rd to 28th Mar, 2010 and enjoyed our outings to DisneyLand, OceanPark, Tsim sha Tsui, Mongkok, Local Bus and MTR rides and everything we could in our limited budget..
If I think of six months back, I never dreamt of either this New Apartment OR our vacation to Hongkong, but today both the events are through like a Dream come true... so, just Dream about the real issues in your Life with your eyes completely open and start Enjoying the Life to make each Dream a Big Reality, Almighty God will always be with you to make it happen, trust me...
