Whispering Wednesday

A very sweet fellow blogger, Sridevi ( Do check out her blog HERE) has started a new section on her blog called ' Threading with words'. It is a very beautiful concept where she picks up a word and shares her thoughts on it.

She encouraged Me to use this concept and so was born Whispering Wednesday. Henceforth going forward every Wednesday I will pick one word and thread my words around it with a thought /picture/ quote..in short anything that comes to my mind!

This week's word is : DREAM

AUGUST STRINDBERG has very truly said in A Madman's Defense, “I dream, therefore I exist.”We all exist because of our capability to dream. Our dreamlands are the place where we can be ourselves, imagine ourselves doing things we might not do in real life as we don’t have any fear of being ridiculed upon there. Set yourself free to dream – Be the dream and be the achievement of the dream that is uniquely yours.So until next week....Keep Dreaming!!

His poetry, both personal and political, draws a clear line between the suffering of the Palestinian people and the complicity of global powers in perpetuating that suffering.
