Making dreams come true
Smt. Sujatha Rao
Lights, Camera, Action

When we hear the above three words uttered in that sequence, our eyes turn dreamy, as our minds conjure up images of stardom.

Though it was Martin Luther King's speech that made the words, "I Have a Dream" immortal, when we deeply introspect we too can come up with our own dream statements. And our dreams too have the power of setting us up on a transformative journey, just like Martin Luther King's dream did.

But for that to happen, we have to act and come up with an action plan that gets us going on that purposeful journey. However, many of us fumble and freeze the moment we come face-to-face with our dream. The greater the importance of that dream, the greater is the possibility of the enormity of the task paralyzing us, as we get busy with other silly and mundane things.

Why do we trade the most important thing in our lives for the most mundane? Because dreams are fun and inspiring in our imagination. We can play around with their innumerable possibilities and imagine the most audacious and the most successful outcomes, so long as we don't act upon them.

That's why we pause on the verge of action, giving ourselves 'n' number of 'if only' reasons.

It is often said that movies follow real life. So do these three words associated with the making of a reel have their place in real life too? If yes, how can we use them in directing ourselves towards the actualization of our dreams? In order to achieve that, I would like to associate with them as follows:

• Lights stand for the flash of the idea about the most endearing dream of ours.
