Dreams Die Hard

Tamanna - it's not only gender that can get in the way of your dreams. Sometimes it's circumstances - like Deepak, Dharaa's father, who gave up his passion because he wanted to provide for his mother. Sometimes it's injury - like Kantilal Gantra, who had to retire from the game when he lost a leg. Every passion, every dream, requires hard work, sacrifice, and more. It requires support from without and within. A successful person isn't successful in isolation. A lot of hard work and sacrifice goes into his success, his own and that of his family.
Deepak's mother didn't give him that support ... she tried for a long time, but apparently she didn't give him the support when he gave up his dreams for her ... she accepted his sacrifice. Kantilal Ganatra's stumbling block came from his own body ... his accident, where he lost a leg, and with it, all hopes of making it to the India team. He had no choice ... but Deepak did. If his mother had insisted he follow his dreams, who knows where he would have reached.

But then, Deepak made his choice himself. And instead of pursuing his dream in one direction, he kept his passion intact by giving it another direction - that of coaching youngsters in his small town. As did Kantilal. Both men turned failure into success of a different sort, both used their obstacles as stepping stones to success of a different kind. Both followed their dream, their passion, albeit in different ways from the one they intended, but they followed it nonetheless, and used it for the larger good - giving their gift to the next generation.
So there is no such thing as failure. It can be turned into success of a different kind. That's why all successful people agree that it is failure which helps mold success, not success alone. And a person can follow his or her dreams regardless of circumstances, if he has the determination and the perseverance.

The show has some excellent veteran actors ... and now Sudhanshu Pandey is going to enter. He does selective work on TV, so am looking forward to his entry.

Siya Ke Ram ... too much lecturing ... but some nice points made during the wedding ... chiefly that a wedding is the joining of two cultures, that of the groom's family and the bride's. So a bride is not expected to forget her culture, her traditions and her upbringing when she goes to her husband's home, and blend herself into his family ... instead she is supposed to enrich her husband's family with her own traditions, thus leading to a new joint tradition. That is how families and cultures evolve, that is how civilisations evolve.
