Dreams

When I was asked to address a group of young mountaineers at Jonuma Poramitu Camp, east of Manaragi Bungodi, on the relevance of dreams in the contemporary society, I was taken aback because I had them but never thought of how to talk about them with others. An example is you see many great films and you like them for various reasons. When somebody asks you to speak or write on why you liked them, you would remain confused or blank unless you are a great speaker or a considerable writer. Unfortunately very few people belong to this category. So, don't worry. There are your friends.

So, being casual is easy and being particular and professional is much testing. They considered me one of the greatest philosophers in the world because one of my closest friends told them a lot about me because he thinks that I am a great person in many respects. His estimate of my worth as a person or professional depends on many things which I cannot imagine or describe because I have no time to research his interests or abilities or he may not like to share those personal things with me considering them very futile or valuable depending on his moods, basic nature or environment or culture he is associated with. A large gap is thus formed between my admirer and me also. A dream at work.

Since the situation was very demanding and because it was a question of my reputation as a great speaker which they were visualizing, and also because I should not damage the interests and imaginations of my close friend, who presented me greatly to all the members of that adventure camp, I left them sharing the following words.

1. "A dream is a set of shadows in your mind when your body is at rest partially. Complete rest is known as death. In that state of existence, dreams do not occur. So, dreams are lively and be with those alive.
