Chilhood dreams....




What did you want to be when you grew up?


I think these questions or their answers stay with you all your life in some form. I've been thinking about mine recently. What were my childhood dreams?


My first memory of what I wanted to be a post woman. I think because I liked the way they used to deliver posts and stamp on the letters. For some strange reason, I loved doing that and even broke the new steel torchlight that my dad brought from the duty-free customs shop. I hit it repeatedly on the paper pretending to stamp on posts. I took that job rather seriously and broke the brand new torchlight inviting my dad’s ire…Then, for some reason I wanted to be a astronaut (I think many want to become one when they are teenagers...I don’t know.. I have heard people say that…) This was at a time when one of my icons Dr.Kalpana Chawla went to space and that really inspired me to work towards it…I even went to Delhi for this entrance and ended up getting a rank for which I would have been offered an architecture seat. I wanted to go to the moon or walk in space. I always dreamt about it and told my mom about my dreams in the day… It didn’t work out either and at some point I had to look hard at other options too…. I'm realizing now that I had a tendency to get more and more practical for some reason. It is still a mystery to me….

Here is a list of some of my childhood dreams:

1. Post woman
2. Go into space
3. Aerospace engineer
4. To be a chef
5. Invent something
8. To be in the animal rescue squad
9. Veterinarian
10. To be a presenter in the discovery channel

I had others like to be a singer… Some were more fleeting. But many are still with me with the hope that I will fulfill at least one of them.

So, people….grab a cup of coffee…and share with me your childhood dreams..That would be exciting.

To conclude this, I would like to quote Randy Pausch:
“Never lose the child-like wonder. “
