chapter 2

when i surfed thru my old note books and diairies i found hundreds and hundreds of stories essays and my experiences recorded safely by my teenage self... i thought reproducing the same here would hepl my readers understand me...
chapter 2
After I read some stories of Ruskin Bond, he often writes about himself, I began to think that I am quiet like him. He says he is very absent minded and liked to dream. After I read the story ‘Upon the Wall, Dreaming’ I seemed to entertain no doubts regarding our likeness. In the story he says how he liked to sit on his wall and dream, both in his child hood and adulthood. I too dream a lot. Though I didn’t get a chance of sitting on my wall and dream like Bond, I do it whenever I get a chance to do it.

Anyways I couldn’t sit on our wall and dream owing to the fact that I am a fifteen year old girl (now) and also because I am a bit self conscious than Bond. I don’t want to think about what my neighbours will say if they see me sitting on a garden wall, dreaming. But when I have very comfortable beds and chairs, why should I take risks? Thus without neighbours prying on me, I could day dream peacefully inside my house. About what I think (let me skip the word ‘dream’ it make me feel I am doing something stupid) I think about a lot many things. I am a great fan of Harry Potter books. So that story takes much of my time. I sit or lie down and think about all the possibilities, try to work out all the clues Rowling has given (she always does) and wonder how the next book will be. She has written only till the fifth when I write this. I sometimes feel that I might have thought about the story more than Rowling herself.

Then I think aboutall the things that happened in my class or at school. I can remember all the funny things that ever happened in my class. I’ve an amazing memory for such things though if I have to derive a relation in physics or learn the functioning of our digestive system, my memory seem to be very poor indeed. It is not my fault, it cant be!!! I cant help it that’s all!!! Paulo Coelho, in his famous book ‘The Alchemist’ advise to follow your dreams. But I’ve not not yet had anything that’s worth following. What can I do but Wait and See!!!

i was delighted to see the confused me, as a teenager wondering where i will reach and what i will bbe!!! now when the road ahead is clear and i am confident as i stride through it i find it exceedingly interesting to go through it
