DREAM WITHOUT LIMITS

Don’t be afraid of the space between your dream and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so. As a high school kid, we all had dreams, aspirations and unimaginable attainment. Why did time force us to settle for something we hardly love? What happens in between those beautiful dreams that makes us all forget what we really want? Maybe we started to adopt the mechanism of coping up or something we call as accepting the reality. We’d rather give up and settle than run that extra mile.
Everything is wrong, but nothing is actually wrong. It’s all about the thought process. If the child inside you can believe…then the adult inside you can bring your dreams into action. For my 9th-grade pre-board English paper, we had a question to write on our dreams. I never expected that the faculty will call me in person and discuss the stupidity I wrote. But she did so and found it interesting. Frankly speaking, she was the only person who understood my passion for it and believed that someday I’ll achieve it. So my dream was to be a Mechanical engineer specifically an Automobile engineer. Tried practicing from manual tyre changing process, simple oil test and above all, that smell of grease had made me fallen in love with this field. Discussing this with parents would always end up with a fight followed by the statement “We’ll see, now focus on your academics”. After 10th grade, the real villain of my life came in the form of relatives who were so interested in making me a doctor.
Life took a turn at Devamatha CMI Public School. The morning entrance classes, the worst mess food and those unbearable biology classes for almost a week. I made up the mind and got shifted to computer math batch but the decision created a lot of tension. From then my main hobby was to read about all those women mechanical engineers who marked their names in the industry somehow. While reading them I came across a face which turned out to be my inspiration, One of the top Automotive designers in India and she was Ramkripa Ananthan.

Argued…cried overnights and much more but nothing brought a change and finally, my dad came up with a decision that changed my life. His choice was Amrita and computer science engineering. After completing almost a year at this place has made me realize that I love this subject too and maybe I could chase my dream even now. Its just like I have to run that extra mile in order to achieve that. Somehow life taught me that “Sometimes good things fall apart so better things come together”. Everything happens for a reason…now think over “Everything is wrong, but nothing is actually wrong”.
