Dreamer

Yesterday I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory after a very long time. In the movie Gene Wylder sings the lines,

There is no ,Life I know
To compare with Pure imagination
Living there ,You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it


I understood then that very few people will ever understand those lines. Those people are Dreamers, people wish to be dreamers, those who are true dreamers never tell everyone that they are.... or sometimes they never tell at all. Its a secret life in your head. No one can judge you, arrest you, hate you love you or pack you off to a room with a straight jacket.

Dreamers know reality and they definitely know dreams, they never confuse one with the other, that is why you can never find out whose a real dreamer and who is not.


Dreamers live a hundred lives in their heads. They have a secret passage way into it. Its like a secret society which does not exist. A dreamer will never ever share their dreams or their thoughts, as its direct route into their soul.

You can never become a dreamer, you are born a dreamer, these people have never been analyzed by shrinks cos they have never let their dreams out. They can dream a whole day, and go to sleep, with a day very well spent.


Some give dreamers flak, saying that this world is reality and not living it makes you foolish. You know what, Dreamers dont care. They know who they are and what they want. They probably have a better understanding of life than those who have never let their imagination show them the beauty of world.

If one ever comes across a dreamer, tread carefully, you'll either be wary of them or fall in fascination with them and spend the rest of your life trying to figure them out.


We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of dreams.
Willy Wonka


I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Kahlil Gibran

Optimist: Day-dreamer more elegantly spelled- Mark Twain

This whole creation is essentially subjective, and the dream is the theater where the dreamer is at once: scene, actor, prompter, stage manager, author, audience, and critic.”-Carl Gustav Jung


We are such stuff that dreams are made off- (Shakespeare)

Unmistakable

I had actually forgotten about my baby.... my blog........I realized that nothing had really inspired me for some time to write. Then suddenly it came to me, my inspiration. Romance. I know there have been innumerable number of authors, poets, song writers who write about this subject and I wondered why. Now at 23 years, 8 months and one day. I figured it out. Its because its the most amazing thing. Its fascinating. Thinking about it is so exuberating. I have to confess that I have never experienced it. I have never had someone, so having couple romance has been only a fantasy more than an actual experience.

So why am I writing about Romance, something I haven't even experienced. Why is it an inspiration? The reason is that dreaming of it is the inspiration. After having to listen to a friend struggling for a divorce and another not appreciating inter-continental romance. I realised that as much as I love being cynical and judgmental. I was a romantic at heart.

I want to be courted and I want to be wooed.

I dont want an arranged marriage. That would be "The Most Unromantic" thing on this planet. I cannot choose someone from looking at his picture or because his "family is good" or because he comes highly recommended. I cannot choose some man because he met me once and then he has to announce to his mommy and daddy whether he wants to continue to see me and decide "I am the one". I cant.... I just cant even bring myself to even imagine myself going through that. Oh the Horror!!


I always never wanted the above situation. But off late, my belief in romance has rooted itself firmly in me. I want Romance and in no circumstance am I ever going to not want it in my life. Being romanced or finding romance is not going to be my only maksath in life. But I know wants its presence. Someone to love.

I love old love songs especially... actually most old love songs.After many many times of listening. I understood that these song writers, wrote from their heart. They understood romance, they had it. Thats what made the song so beautiful, it was because not only did every word had meaning, but they sang it from being in love. And for the first time ever I wanted it. I wanted romance. I wanted to be in love.

Be in it so deeply that in the words of Abigail Adams "should I draw you the picture of my heart it would be what I hope you would still love though it contained nothing new. The early possession you obtained there, and the absolute power you have obtained over it, leaves not the smallest space unoccupied." or write what Elizabeth Baratte wrote " And now listen to me in turn. You have touched me more profoundly than I thought even you could have touched me - my heart was full when you came here today. Henceforward I am yours for everything...."


Ok so maybe that makes me a raving total looney or a bimbett or a bubble head. But I dont care. I want to walk on clouds(apparently thats the feeling when your in love).


I never liked the backstreet boys but their song Unmistakable is something which I have been singing "Will I know your voice when you havent said a word, how can I know a song that I have never heard" " "what if your here and I am just blind" "will you be the one I had in mind" "Will you be unmistakable".


To my guy-who ever you are, where ever you are.

It's a cruel game to play if you know me, know am the one and still havent made your move. But if you havent. Then its chill.. in perfect time I'll see you and hopefully you'll be unmistakable.

To Romance,

Come out, Come out, where ever you are.

XOXO
