To go beyond

It is half past five on a December evening. The sun is already set to plunge down into the horizon. As I drive into the 'Tech Park' I work in, I see a slew of people walking briskly while talking on their cell phones. They don visible ID cards and carry compact bag packs - a trait of engineers of my kind these days. They carry smiles on their faces; they are visibly relieved. Perhaps, they are more than happy, and eager to go home to their families.

I am driving at a snail's pace, negotiating an endless array of speed breakers. As I slowly go past the scores of seemingly young people, mostly in their twenties, my mind bubbles up a thought - there is a hell of a lot of potential everywhere! Imagine every one growing beyond basic engineering, and the values of offshore delivery. Imagine one and all to think beyond their set result areas. Imagine everyone blazing a trail of success and unique accomplishments. I can barely imagine the landscape then.

These ten seconds of temporal digression clearly accentuates one thing - Dreaming. Perhaps, it isn't as difficult to live that dream and dare to go beyond.
