Listen, but don't overhear
See, but don't overlook
Because when things are over done
They need to be done over!

Our lives are pulled by the string of our dreams like a kite. This thin string may sometimes become invisible with only the kite floating above and being visible. But the string is there as long as it floats above the skies, with the winds of breath. Mrs S. Saraswathy a retired government school teacher,from Chennai, India, now living in Singapore since 10 years, 72 years of age,  obliged me with this insightful interview where we shared views on one's dreams in life. She started with telling about herself: Her father was in the teaching profession and had inspired her and all her 7 sisters into teaching.

I would choose to be a money note, always valued and never visiting the dustbin 🤓" The third paper having listened to all this stuff, said " I want to be a page in a book. Because if money is crumpled and torn and old, it will be a painful life to live on. And if someone accidentally threw it, it would be a valuable loss. So even if a page in a book is crumbled or torn by old age, it has served it's purpose once it is read. Its contents can be revived on a fresh piece of paper!" The fourth said, " I would like to end up as a toilet roll, the most useful one, cleaning up people . If I'm lucky and someone creative happens to chance upon me, they can t...
