Zeejah,

A story of hope is often accompanied by magic.
Keep weaving your tales for readers here on CHOWK.
A Writer dreams up the story. It is the reader
that experiences the magic.

Ras

Re MonaSehgal # 15

Very true. One should be realistic rather than hope too much. I`m not saying u shouldn`t hope but while facing the reality and the point where u stand!

Hope is a relative term. I can hope for a sound and prosperous future but can`t hope to be the next CE.. can I? I don`t think so.

regards

Irfan

too often, dreaming and hoping, instead of becoming reality, become substitutes for reality.
