Drinks and Dreams

Do we dare to dream? 

We do, I guess at least I do. The dreams that we dream are almost always our subconscious thoughts and aspirations. Things we dare not say or do openly or publicly in the fear of scorn, hate or criticism. But all is fare in dreams. Even if they are the black and white like the old cathode ray tube and not the new astonishing LED 40 Inch Displays. Why!!!! Because these are too dear to us to care about the media.

Another situation where we dream unabashedly is when we have gulped down a few drinks and we 'feel free'. We again lose all inhibitions and dream and do things that we would not in public. Some times good and sometimes not so good. These are also times when you can see the true feelings and emotions flow.

A baby has no inhibitions and does what it does not caring about what people have to say. They do it just because they wantto do it. 

Over the years we have become conscious of our surroundings, peers, society, political pecking order in corporate and all and sundry. So much so that we start suppressing our own thoughts and feelings.

I have for a long time wanted to open a Cocktail Lounge called Drinks and Dreams where i would have fostered an open spirit where people can drink and dream. Authors can use as a forum for their reading, young artists use as an open audience to understand peer reactions etc etc. Someday with the help of some financier I will do this.

But till then I will use this blog to talk about drinks, dreams and opinions. As my son says 'Dad YOLO'
