My dream is to open a school where the underprivilaged will be given reservation unlike caste based reservation.
I come from Meerut, a town in UP. My roots go back to a farmer family and my uncles are still farmers who stay in villages and send their kids to school for which they have to travel some 20-25 kms daily.

Currently I am working as a consultant with one of the big IT company in NCR. Me and My dad(who retires in 2019) have planned to open this school post his retirement, till that time we are doing market research and feasibility study along with saving funds.

I love teaching and so does my wife. Both of us along with my parents plan to run this school as a trust.

That is all I can share here, would love to hear back from like minded people.

Hi, my BIG dream has always been no Girl Child in India goes without education, safety and hygiene. To do my bit, have worked with many Chennai (my city) based NGOs including teaching, helping them find legal help (in the case of some victims); have also worked with Tsunami affected girl children. Take active support in my locality’s Domestic Work professionals and their children.

I strongly believe educating and safeguarding every single child is our (and every society’s) best bet to a prosperous, thriving future.

I am a CA myself and being a lady, feel a need to give back to the Children, especially, Girl children in our society. Love Teaching, Interacting & Mentoring – and all of this doesn’t always have to be formal and advertised. We positively impact & create a better future for every life that we interact with – so, its a journey every moment.

Being an alumni from one of premier art school in India, my ultimate dream is to start a self styled art school for the masses, irrespective of the “artists” age limit, where only art will speak for itself!

my dream, I have not one dream, but a lot of dreams I wish that I make them. But the most different in my dreams is that they all arrive at the same goal. I would like to travel round the world know a lot of culture, and meet new people and new friends, I would be a famous writer, and I would also like to leave any quechose for the world to me since I will be remembered that a memory one day. I am a Moroccan student, and I love india, be it for its culture, different religions, and its development.
and participate in this work as, it would be for me, the two dreams I realize both.

Oh, i missed the other half of the question! I am currently going for my Masters after 8years of work experience in the Indian Textile Industry and equip myself to clear the roadblocks that i will face in realising my “dream”. I am from Mumbai.

I have the gift of the “present” which I utilize to help anyone who is in need at PRESENT.
My biggest dream is to help everyone in need be it an animal, a pregnant women, an old person or small kids. I cannot wish for big things like opening a school, old age home etc. because no one knows the future.

Offer my seat to a pregnant lady or old aunt/uncle in need.
Make my grand parents feel important.
Give food and old toys to small kids.
Give my old books to school going kids.
Give food and any kind of help to animals.

In short put a smile on everyone’s face! ;)

My biggest dream in life is to become a lawyer. Not just a run-of-the-mill lawyer, but a lawyer with principles, a lawyer worth her salt. And how am I accomplishing that? By being in a law school, that is how! I’m currently in my second year of law in National Law School, and I’ve worked hard to clear the exams and make it to one of the best law schools in the country. Pure academics is not what makes a good lawyer, I participate in plenty of volunteering activities that involve teaching young children hailing from poor rural backgrounds who can’t afford education, and helping them out by donating my old stuff like clothes, books, you name it. Spreading the importance of literacy is as necessary as spreading literacy itself. And this will surely go a long way in building a strong, resourceful society and nation. :) Like all endeavors, achieving this dream of mine is tough as well, but every time I hit a snag or begin to lose hope, I just take a moment to picture my success and the light at the end on the tunnel, as well as the effort I put in to bring me here, and I feel all better again. All better and ready to take on anything!
Oh, and my city is Bangalore. :)

My dream is to dream forever and follow them until the end of days. The only thing that makes life worth living is to have some sort of value, thus meaning a purpose and purpose comes from following and having faith in our dreams. So when you think about it, it doesn’t really matter what our dream is. It’s as long as we dream and have faith to achieve them it will keep us occupied from the thought of having no real value

I was quite moved by the recent episode of Satyamev jayate where they showed how people are living their lives without water and they have to fight for it. I was surprised and shocked at their plight. I cant say its a dream yet but i have started contributing to this casue by saving water at home.. i am also trying to spread this word when i see someone close doing it.. that is either by requesting them or embarrassing them :) and it works..

My Biggest Dream is to work with you MissMalini :-). I cannot describe in words, how much MissMalini obsessed I am. I enjoy your posts and love the way you present your point through your writing. You are smart, fashion freak and adorable. And to work with you. I am planning to study Eng Literature and always try keeping an eye on the Bollywood happenings. You are one such person who inspire me to choose an off-beat career other than Medicine, Engineering and all that stuff. Love u loads!! :-)
