Yeah! That's true...I get so mannny ideas. That too not sporadically but at regular intervals.
I wanted to be a cricketer in my childhood. Huh...just like any second Indian, thanks to Sachin. And what did I do to fulfill that? Nothing...literally nothing. Just played some tennis ball cricket and rarely played with cricket ball. Infact, I took pleasure in watching my bro participating in some league cricket. One thing stopped me from pursuing my dream...fear...fear that I might not reach it...fear of charting an untreaded path. I chose to live without my dream.
Next up in my list was to become an actor. I would dance to every song that's played in the television ( that actually decreased the frequency of TV watching in our house. People stayed away from the TV set to stay away from watching me dance!) I would mimic any hero and situation and perform at home. Poor chaps at home! They had to endure all these!!! Becoming an actor was just a fad...I never thought about it seriously. It was more of a time pass...
There were many to follow... book writer, film maker, ad designer...ohhhh! What not? There were too many tangential ideas churning from time to time. The small box between the ears kept giving me ideas, kept me going. The only thing that my mind didn't do was to show a particular direction; to show me that this is what I'm cut out for.
I'm still doing what I do the best. Waiting!!! Waiting for that one signal; for that one moment of truth which will set me on my path. And yes...I've company...my little box is still giving me ideas!

I wish I could write/express like U...
awesome ra.... putting thoughts into words.. aapse seekhe...
Those were ur dreams ra not ideas... you dreamt or thought of becoming a cricketer, actor, etc..
One thing that every one should admit is that evey one has a dream... only few take steps to achieve it...
I wish your next dream come true...
If mind can give just one idea then the world would have been either perfect or would have been in a total chaos....:)...so it's the little box's work to give us many ideas....and our work is to decide to go upon which idea.... :)
Excellent Sri...You have put into words what a youngster goes through before he FINALLY decides to go in one direction. Though he enters into one direction... from time to time, one's interests and capabilities will also change. May be that’s y your little box will always tries to give multiple ideas from time to time, as it knows you better than anybody else.
If you have the determination and capability to do then you will pick those ideas and succeed in fulfilling them...
U seemed like Hrithik..."Mein aisa kyun hun..." from Lakshya...
