Have you ever realised how big our wishes and needs are ? Or was I or rather am i the only one unique piece ? I don’t know. But today, this thought just popped up in my head. I still remember, during my school days I wanted to be a good athlete, which i kinda achieved.

During college days when i literally was alone I desired to have girl friends from every corner of India. Don’t take me wrong but this is what use to come up in my dumb head. Yea, what else do you expect from a guy during his hostel days. Ofcourse, I was studying but then that’s age. So yea, I had desire. And so i kinda tried all. Even though this desire was never fulfilled but yes, thanks to internet I must say i had privilege to talk with girls from different corner of India.

After college days, I wanted  to earn good salary and work in an organisation where i have freedom. And yes here as well I sort of achieved. Then after working for couple of years, when things were starting to get settled and as per Indian standard when it was time for me to get settled, due to certain circumstances I got this desire to go foreign for studies. And there you go, I left everything and came here to study.

While studying I decided and desired that I would be the one in my batch, which i did achieve.

But, while craving to fulfill the desires and needs which ever popped up in my head I really never thought what i am going to miss and lose. Yes, during my school days, i missed my childhood as i wanted to be something different. While in college, i missed my college life to certain extent and time which i could have utilised in better ways. After college, while fulfilling my desire of freedom i missed probably a better career opportunity. And when i desired for studies, I left all and started from scratch. I missed and lost everything what i had. Above all, i lost my time, which i can never get back. This all has been only due to pursuit of following this insatiable desires.

Yes, i have followed my desires and dreams but have paid price for that. something which i can never get back. and like me you too would have and would be paying price. We all need to think and then follow what desire need to be kept alive and what need to be forgotten as a day dream.

We all have read and heard from greatest people and legends lecturing us that follow your dreams. But I will say don’t follow your dreams blindly. There’s price to pay for everything. It’s we who have to decide what should be followed and what should be trashed in bin.

Needs and desires have no end. It’s like a cactus, which has thorns on every part of it. It might be good as a showpiece but can never be presented as a bouquet !!
