To navigate a substantially long length of road full of cars parked on both sides, while driving in reverse!
I know that is silly, but ever since I started driving, I noticed that many people could do so (especially in movies), while I had my doubts.
I would be a fool not to remember how much I wanted to do this when I was younger. I clearly remember saying to myself: "If I can do this, I will call myself a proper driver". Even though I could drive from Noida to Jammu alone, this reverse-sprint-drive used to be my personal Everest.
And yet, apart from a single pat on the back mentally, why am I not celebrating this more?
Why am I not calling each and every friend of mine, and telling them this story?
Or why am I not throwing a party, themed "Ek Aur Sapna Poora Ho Gaya"?
Who am I kidding?
Did I celebrate the fact that I now have a personal vision/notice board and a desk? Wasn't that like one of the most exciting of my visions for my adulthood?
Did I thank the heavens for the view I have while sitting on my bed right now: a romantic yellow lamp beside my bed, a 7-feet tall window pouring the evening in, a balcony dotted with flower pots and Tulsi, my 2 vehicles visible parked, and a screen of trees wherever I look.
Isn't this like a dream come true for me? It most definitely is!
Why don't I recall all those small dreams I used to have, just so that I can tell myself: see, your dreams are getting fulfilled, you fool! Be thankful! Be in bliss!
It's so screwed up, and I only blame myself.
The only reason I can fathom as to why I am just 'calmly' happy on such personal wins, and not 'bursting with excitement' is that I am an 'adult'.
Adults don't jump up and down for each candy or chocolate they get!
It is kiddish to celebrate such small everyday events, right?
Adults aren't supposed to celebrate small wins!
Adults have to keep planning for bigger wins, and as soon as they get there, they need to plan for even bigger wins!!
Or simply put, the 'dreams' of younger minds aren't big enough to celebrate: of course try telling that to a younger Love Sharma.
Every day, I live in a world full of so many things I dreamt of when I was younger. My heartfelt gratitude to the universe!!!
I wonder if I could start a 'Sapne Poore Ho Gaye Day' every month for myself, where I just list down all such dreams that are getting fulfilled.
Let's see if I can win-over this adult-hood to get time to do so.
