"You've got Mail"

My favourite movie...I must have watched it atleast twenty times and each time I see it even now - I watch with the the same enthusiasm as the first...the idealistic romantic in me loved the idea of being in love with some stranger who you hate at first and then you realise that he/she is so perfect for you that you are head over heels, and ahhh the feeling of really having your diary being able to reply to you - like someone who understands you so well that you can say whatever you want and you get a reply exactly like the one you want to hear!!! And the anticipation associated with receiving an email...something which is long awaited....like reply from that special someone...or maybe a job acceptance or just waiting for a reply from your friends on a simple mail you've sent...love it!!

And I simply love the bookstore - I have a dream of owning my own bookstore some day and I think it may have been inspired by the quaint little "Shop Around the Corner". When I have my bookstore, I'd love for it to have that warm cozy feeling - like a refuge where its only you, your thoughts and some amazing coffee and a wonderful book...

So here "I want to send a cosmic thought out into the void" about the dream!!

Eternally Alice!!!!

„Alice in Wonderland“ is how a psychoanalyst once described me. For the months that followed I kept wondering what he really meant by that…”You have this very Alice in Wonderland feel to you” is what he said….was it that I was a little lost in life? Coz Alice to me meant a little lost…was it a little naivety or did he meant I was a dreamer…a little isolated from reality??

Well I chose to believe I was the dreamer – a little cut off, a little sheltered and began to think that to be personally as well as professionally successful, I had to be as matter-of-fact as fact could get. So as much as I tried to curtail my dreams, a compulsive dreamer like me would always dream…hey that’s what I am a compulsive dreamer!!! My life doesn’t seem to move on if I don’t dream!!

Just yesterday, I read a book where the author talks about how his childhood dreams got fulfilled in different ways…but essentially lead to what he always wanted….I thought back…isn’t my life similar...a wonderful and ever supporting family, a caring and encouraging husband ( I would have liked him to be able to serenade as well ;-) …but never mind, a career on similar lines that I had imagined…and even a chance meeting with a childhood hero….and loads of them yet to go!! …and I decided that’s what I’d like to be for the rest of my life…Alice…Eternally…

Keep them coming girl...the dreams I mean...that’s what I tell myself!!!!!!
