Dream shatters yet remains alive
Let me tell you a story of a chemical engineer of 21st century.
He had a vision in his life. He wanted to be a refiner. He loved playing with the technical stuff. But when he was an under performer in school his confidence was rocked ruthlessly. He composed himself and went into an engineering college located in an absconded part of this country. Though it’s very close to a present software hub but the people of that part have always loved staying in the darkness of ignorance. He had to struggle his way out towards the light - that always eluded him.
His way was full of thorns but still he had the courage to pursuit his dream and finally one day he achieved it. He became an engineer who knows something about refining and joined an organization which popularly known as first generation refiners of the world.
But now after he joined this organization he had another dream. He wanted to work in the refinery at night just to have a close look at the refinery during night time.
But when he was been assigned a job at night he spent the night writing blog of his own. Now you might just wonder why this particular individual or you may call him a “crack”, is doing so. Well, the answer to this is very simple. He never enjoyed the job assigned to him for that particular night. He was asked to work like any other manager standing in the reception of a hotel n saying “How may I help you” to every single person he comes across. He wanted to do something very different but was never offered a chance to follow up his dream.
Well, you may just think who this peculiar character. It’s me. Who else can be such a big bugger?
Now you may want to know what he has done the whole night.
He took care of his dream and left it alone so that he can nurture it for some other special night. He dreams to make it into his world of refining where he will take a stroll after supper in his nightly errand. He dreams to become the emperor of his own world where he thinks he can breathe peacefully.
oh i was just about to forget enlightening you about YPO. It's Young President's Organization.

Hyderabad Blues 3
Fifteen years later.
Now, Varun works in a multinational company in US of A and Ashwini went along with her hubby to try out her luck there. Needless to mention they lived happily ever after. Oh! Forgot! They have a son 14 years old. Varun as usual wasn’t ready for it but had too. After all at some point we males have too give up our chauvinistic attitude. Actually we are too weak at heart. But, varun had a great deal. His condition was after they get a child they won’t stay in
Well, life was good for them and their child was growing up. Sometimes they had some fight in the middle but it was the child that kept them going along with the relationship. One fine day, Vijay, their son, woke up and joined them for the breakfast with a request that he wants to see his country. His reason was pretty simple. He wanted to come closer to his roots and cultures. Varun got scared. After all that was the reason that he went back for and the rest is history. Still he couldn’t do much about it. Fifteen years later he also needed a break and so did his wife. In this fifteen years varun’s parents passed away. They only had that house but the locality developed a lot. People over there became more civilized, at least they don’t play music early morning at a high pitch. Vijay started loving the place in few days and then he started getting closer to his people, and finally he proved that he is no exception. He met a girl and started falling for her. The girl resides in their locality. This time varun couldn’t say a word. Before he could actually get into it these young gun have ignited the fire and now Vijay wants to stay back in
