10 Years from now....


There are multiple times when I am asked what and where will I be 10 years from now?
 And, most of my answers are either 'a very successful person', or most of the time it will be 'a very rich woman', with  a room full of  books. Of course like a 'big library kind' I had say.
Being a dreamer, at leisure I keep wondering where I really would be? will I achieve the things which I am wishing for? will I have the dream house (with the library of course) or will I even reach that 10 years from now ? I mean, no one knows where or what our future holds, yet every single one of us stays with the hope of seeing tomorrow and we make numerous plans, deciding where we will set our final den.
For some that 10 years from now never happened, either they lost track of doing what they wanted or they could never make it that far, while for some it is the moment they are enjoying now which they once wished long time ago.
This thought took me into a deep pondering mode and I wondered whether I will make it or not? or will I stop halfway? with much anticipation and full hope we are striving to go ahead fully unknown what lifes holds, and despite all the small negative feelings I get, I try to rub them off  my shoulder and tell myself, no matter where you end up maybe you will be more happy to look back  to see where you were once, which means even if I don't get what I wanted, maybe I will get what I deserve.

Were those people who are now at their happy places asked the same question? Maybe. Probably.
We may all not make it, but isn't it a pleasant feeling to think that you had a dream, somewhere down  the line it just disappeared and you got to the place where you belong. And, maybe that's what giving us the hope to live and live, why not have a dream to keep you moving in life? right?
We have one or more things to achieve and conquer, however if  we don't get through it, we might feel disappointed, but if it happens we can keep in mind that the journey we took are the life challenges and adventures we faced, that feelings might soothe us, if not relieve.

So, on that note I have come to the point that, from now on if people ask me where I see myself 10 years from now? I  won't mind telling them 'whatever the future holds I will be okay to be where I would be', not saying I will stop dreaming and working but I will be happy to be at that zone where I will cherish the fact that I once had a bigger dream with a bigger hope... and if I make it, well and good. If not, it was meant to be that way... Anyways, at the end... we are going to be where we belong. Ain't it?

Book Review: Birth of the Fae: Locked Out of Heaven by Danielle Orsino

About the Book What would you do if all you knew had abandoned you? Abandoned by their creator, two factions of angels remain on earth after the Great War with Lucifer. These Virtues and Power Angels struggle to comprehend their Creator’s plan while their wings, a symbol of their angelic lineage, slowly and painfully decay. Unaware of one another, the angels learn to survive and reinvent themselves. With no hope of returning to the Shining Kingdom, both groups denounce their angelic lineage and develop into their own factions. They call themselves the “Fae.” This is their story. The Fae world is ruled by two distinct courts: the Court of Light, led by Queen Aurora, a former Virtue Angel, and the Court of Dark, ruled by King Jarvok, a former Power Brigade Angel. The two monarchs have opposing views on how to govern their kin and, more importantly, the way humanity plays into their survival. The one belief they agree on is human worship equals power. Exactly how the two go about capturin...

Book Review: I’ve Never Been (Un)Happier by Shaheen Bhatt

About the book Lights, Camera . . . Inaction Unwittingly known as Alia Bhatt’s older sister, screenwriter and fame-child Shaheen Bhatt has been a powerhouse of quiet restraint—until now. In a sweeping act of courage, she now invites you into her head. Shaheen was diagnosed with depression at eighteen, after five years of already living with it. In this emotionally arresting memoir, she reveals the daily experiences and debilitating big picture of one of the most critically misinterpreted mental illnesses in the twenty-first century. Equal parts conundrum and enlightenment, Shaheen takes us through the personal pendulum of understanding and living with depression in her privileged circumstances. With honesty and a profound self-awareness, Shaheen lays claim to her sadness, finding it a home in the universal fabric of the human condition. In this multi-dimensional, philosophical tell-all, Shaheen acknowledges, accepts and overcomes the peculiarities of this way of being alive...

Reading in Quarantine- #Birthdaybloghop

Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.” – E.B. White With the Coronavirus crisis and most of the nation quarantined inside the comfort of their homes, I can presume all the bookworms silently rejoicing, not that the world is coming to a standstill (that would be rude), but because of the reason that we will have all the possible time in the world to be reading and ticking off our TBR lists (Not precisely though). At least we thought we will have all the possible time in the world to read and read till our eyes are sore, but guess that remind yet another excuse of, ‘maybe, I will start reading tomorrow.' And, one would probably be asking, ‘why read? when we have other things to keep ourselves engaged. There are so many other things to do and catch up with- for instance, binge-watching book adapted series, attending zoom calls, video calling old friends to ch...
