When Dreams Come True

I was busy with my usual class lectures when my cell phone vibrated. Unwilling to attend the phone in the class, I rejected the call, without even noticing the caller. I was just going to switch off the little gadget when it vibrated again. It was from a very intimate friend—perhaps the most precious one I ever had.

A slight hesitation, and then I decided to receive the call. Immediately a scream almost snatched away my hearing ability! After some moments of careful listening I understood that She was indeed expressing her happiness. As a budding-promising classical singer She has got a chance to get further training from Pandit A. Chakraborty—a renowned classical vocalist—her dream-singer.

I knew from the days of her childhood She has nurtured in the core of her soft touchy heart a lifelong dream to become a student of Pandit A. Chakraborty—and now, with her matured age and voice She is really going to be his student.

Quite natural that today her happiness knows no bound and it is also normal that She is desperate to share the happiest moment of her life with an intimate friend.

She was ecstatic—almost unable to digest the greatest news. To her it is some sort of Dreams Come True. I was also jubilant and thrilled equally to know that my friend was indeed one of the three most talented singers to get a chance competing with hundreds others.

I greeted her with all my soul and demanded much more memorable achievements in near future.

Still now her jubilant voice is echoing in my ears and for the first time in my life I am feeling how it feels when dreams actually come true. What is the sound of dreams coming true! How tantalizing the sound is—and how fortunate are they who have ever tasted it in their lives.
