On childhood dreams...

I have often wondered why is it that our most cherished dreams are the ones which we dreamt in our childhood. As one grows older the dreams change patterns and we often end up following totally different ones as compared to what we aspired for in those tender years. And if one thinks of them in degrees of fondness then the earliest ones are the most prized and loved. Maybe it could be the innocence that was attached to them is what we seek to nurture , knowing that it is forever lost in the process of growing up, we sanctify what remains of it in the form of those childish fantasies...

Life is so unpredictable (and there in lies its charm), just when you are at that stage when you think, all is settled and nothing can rock the boat, it throws a zinger at you and you are zapped!
And that is why i believe in not living by the rules because it then becomes easy to handle what transpires, no preconceived notions or norms to bind in ones reactions....
