I want to be a Star!
“I want to be an air-hostess when I grow up.”
“I want to be an astronaut when I grow up.”
Thus said my sister and I when we were 7 and 13 respectively. Do you remember what you wanted to be when you were a kid? Doctor. Teacher. Homemaker too perhaps. It must have been quite a sight for our parents to watch us enact our professions while we played innumerable childhood recreations. I bet my mom’s heart soared at the thought of both her daughters, literally, touching the sky.
Children are such dreamers, right? Sky is the limit for them. They don’t seem to care for limitations, job requirements, competition. For them, it’s all “possible”. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t say, we don’t achieve what we dream.
Somewhere, I realized that my aptitude for Physics was, well, negligible. And thus changed my “dream” and with that changed my “I want to be…“. I realized my potential to talk can bring me money..so why not! Somewhere, my sister realized that she can’t handle annoying passengers and her patience level with bawling kids and attention-seeking adults will cost her, her “air-hostess” career! And so she turned to writing and now a quite Successful one!
I may not be landing on the moon and working at NASA…but I definitely dream of being a ‘Star‘! I definitely dream of conquering the world! My “I want to be..” is constantly altering and changing, but I do know this… with every passing moment and with every passing thought, I feel closer to my “I Want To Be…”!
“I Want to be a ‘Star’ when I grow up…”
What about you, sister?
Exotic Krabi.. through my Lens!
This post can be tagged as the “most delayed post known” considering I got down to blogging about my fabulous visit to Thailand, 6 months later. Ah! Thailand… a beautiful, exotic, feisty and absolutely charming destination. Thailand is probably the most ‘visited’ holiday destination and I will certainly not claim that I have seen it all. 6 days were all we had and we decided to explore the Southern part of it…Krabi, Phi Phi and Railey Beach…
I don’t want to make this a text heavy post. But all I want to say is.. Thailand, for me, was a potpourri of beaches, exotic cuisine, fiery nightlife and laze-inducing aura. The first thing that struck me when I landed in Krabi was.. The enchanting colors! The bright blue of the sky, the lush green of the foliage and the absolutely clear turquoise of the waters..set amidst the peculiar rock formations, synonymous with this part of Thailand.
As the long-tailed boat ideally rocks in the serene waters… the beauty of Thailand enthrall all…
One of our favorite activities was Snorkeling in the clear waters of Thailand! Oh the variety of Fishes! The vibrant colors…the exotic nature..! Another a-whole-new-experience was Kayaking. We drove down to Ao Thalane, 2 hours from Ao Nang, Krabi. We Kayaked through hidden interior lagoons and mysterious limestone sea caves of the mangroves jungles, which are accessible only during low-tide. Kayaking provided the perfect way to explore the hidden exotic beauty of interior Thailand..through the maze of mangrove forest. The peace, tranquility and enthralling nature.. was all worth the effort! 🙂
The Exotic flavors of the fresh fish! Lemongrass, basil, curry leaves, coconut, bright fresh vegetables were the highlights of our gastronomical journey through Thailand! Of course…the vibrancy of the cuisine was accompanied by the razzle-dazzle of the exotic lamps and lanterns…..
If Thailand had to be described in 1 word, it would be -EXOTIC! In 6 days, i was able to experience such contrasting sights… peace of mind… charming people… stunning views… enchanting locales…
A perfect dream! A perfect Getaway!

Dreams. Aspirations. Soar. Achieve.
Work has been great. Really. 6 months ago, if you had asked me, my answer would have been “Meh!”…But today, today I feel satisfied with what I am doing. The responsibilities, the body of work, the thought process, the oozing creativity – its been FAB!
Every morning when I wake up, I have this zeal to get to work… I don’t wanna be late..No I don’t wanna sleep for 20 minutes more..I just wanna get to work and start creating. Every evening when I get back from work, I find myself sitting by myself in my breezy balcony and thinking about what more can I do! I have this undying enthusiasm for continuously proving myself. Its like 5 years of trapped creativity is just pouring out.
Yes, I have my pull-my-hair-out-and-shoot-a-few-people-who-annoy-me-to-hell days. But somehow, dealing with those days and fighting with such persons.. makes it all the more exciting! I do have a victorious smile at the end of those days!!
I have a lot to do. I have a lot to prove. I have a lot to give. I have dreams. I have aspirations. But there are a few..what should I call them.. ‘Key words’ that I feel very strongly about:
DREAM. PASSION. FLY. ASPIRE. REAL. CREATIVE. SMILE. FEARLESS. COURAGE. SOAR.DREAM.I believe in my thoughts. And I strongly hope…some day.. I am where I see myself to be! Till then…. Ciao! 🙂
