Dream.....
A condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration....it was for Mayank to be a successful man one day and free her mom of all responsibilities.
One that is exceptionally gratifying, excellent, or beautiful.....it was for Nupur to become an actress one day and also to meet her prince charming.
Mayank worked towards his dream every single day. He studied hard, excelled in academics, was extremely focused. Nupur, on the other hand lived her dream every day by believing in herself and hoping that one day her dream will become a reality and all she needed was a chance.
We all probably start to dream when we are not influenced or affected by the outside world and nothing else corrupts our imagination. As life goes by we start making choices, some practical ones some emotional. Slowly, these choices take over the dream that once gave meaning to our lives.
Mayank's aspirations took a back seat when he fell in love. His focus shifted and his priorities changed. He turned into someone he was not, "Raj" a fantasy of his lady love yet, he found solace in her happiness. He was now living a dream that was exceptionally gratifying, excellent and beautiful but he forgot that being completely caught up in this one he is forgetting the dream that he once aspired for.
It was different for Nupur. She never had to choose one over the other. She had a certain image of her prince charming and Mayank didn't match that at first but he surely was the guy who challenged that image. He was someone she could fall for regardless of it and she did. In spite of the specifications which were more of decorated version to her dream of finding love, she was very clear about Sam not being the one when Mayank asked about him at Mishra palace. Although Sam was exactly the kind of guy she dreamed about. Instead she was getting drawn towards Mayank without even realising it herself. Guess in matters of love, heart knows exactly what it wants. Nupur's second dream of becoming an actress never got sidelined either. It was something that always stayed with her and did not get buried under responsibilities or her falling in love with Mayank, even though he had no interest in films or anything filmy which of course didn't stay that way for long. Unfortunately, she saw her dream crashing. She was deeply hurt and lost her motive. It was shown beautifully. But, as Mayank said this will give way to new ones.
I believe that when u have a dream and you do everything possible to make it a reality yet, it doesn't fulfill..... you have destiny to blame but if you let your dream suffer for the choices you made, there comes a day when you look back and you have no one to blame but yourself. Your life looses its meaning and you are left with nothing but sadness and guilt. That's how it was for Mayank today. He had hopes, dreams and aspirations. He had goals set for himself and just like that he let them all go. His dreams were his identity and he lost it and nothing can be more painful than that.
I can understand the disappointment and sadness Mayank's character feels right now. His whole life flashed in front of him and he was shocked at himself for letting go of something he once lived for. His self confidence is all time low. He is a guy who believes in himself and once he sets his mind to something he will dp anything to achieve it. He let himself loose it once but this hurtful realisation will make him more determined and focused than ever. something he needs to do for himself. If he doesn't he will never be the same mayank ever again. I wish his mom was here as just her presence gave him strength.
This being a reality of life and something we all can relate to I can just say you should never let go off your dream. If it gets fulfilled....it's luck and hardwork, If it breaks.... it's destiny dream again but, if you leave your own dream behind...... there is nobody you can blame but yourself as those unfulfilled dreams may be forgotten but are never lost only the opportunity to fulfill may and you will be left wondering all your life....... WHAT IF?......
Feel free to share your views about it as i'm sure we all can relate to it in some way or other. Sorry for scaring u guys with such a longgggggg post......
