Since i was born. i've always believed that where i'm staying isn't rilly my place and wanted to live somewhere else, didn't know why and never changed that thought. As i grow up I understood why and i figured out the reasons. I'm still working on this dream. i want to migrate to any far away land and it's just so hard (for someone in my place) but i never give up and Inshalla it will happen. I promised my self not to die here.

I wanted to be Anne of Green Gables:))

Then I wanted to be an actress.. I got to do Bugsy Malone but then went to uni and found the thespian clique impossibly pretentious:(

I'm afraid Hollywood will have to wait. Lol.. Oh, and I also wanted to be a presenter on Blue Peter- or Playschool- so I could say 'Let's take a look through the Squaaaaaaaaare window'

Khanan...thats a nice one to Charan...O hell yeah he is a gangster Charan...LOL!

Well for me, I have always wanted to just keep moving forward in life and make just too many good friends and enjoy life at every moment, I must say I have some good friends in Qatar and QL and thanks to them I do enjoy my life at most of the moments on hand...I dont think too much into the future cos once you start doing too much about that, you tend to forget whats in your hands in the Present and later when you look back at your life, you wont find anything, for me I would want to find my parents and my friends when I do look back at different stages of ma life...

In terms of Profession, well no idea whats in store...lets see...what happens...and yes I always wanted to Sing...but o well...guess what paajis and girls, I also went for the Auditions for Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa here in Qatar...got thru the first round, but goofed up in the second, but I do keep a track of quite a few good numbers...and sing them elsewhere...LOL!

Life goes on, and now I'm right there to fulfilling my ever long lasting DREAM about owning a BMW...very very soon!!!

Thanks to GOD!!!

when asked what i want to be when i grow up, i always say 'i want to be a doctor', why? so i can get free check up because im such a sickly earthling when i was young.

but in reality, i only want to decent (and good-paying) job and a complete-happy family.

In my childhood I would sit with admiration in the classes about biographies of scientists, stories of their inventions.

I was also very much interested in literature.

So I wanted to be a scientist and also a writer.

Now I am a computer programmer, it gives you a world of chances to experiment and implement innovative ideas in a vertual environment.

Gives you the satsifaction of an invention when you solve a new problem or when you do something in a different way.

So I feel I am enjoying a partial fullfillment of my dream.

I liked to write, and still do, the only thing thats stopping me to try it is my own laziness.

I hope I will overcome it one day.

I just wanted to sing...but when my bro so kindly said I sounded like a cat being dragged through a thorn bush...I was crushed I tell ya.

Never was ambitious as a child. Somewhere along the way I discovered all of life's possibilities and one by one, Im ticking off my goals.

was being a singer. I like music very much and I was in the school band in the 5th and 6th grade and was the lead singer ... Unfortunately after preparatory school there were no more chance for me to practice anymore that was just a child dream ...

A real dream of mine was and still up to now ... Having my own wife and family ...

when I was 6 , I was dreaming to be a crane operator .

10 years old , I dreamed to be a superbike racer.

13 years old , I dreamed to be a secret agent .

From 17 to 26 , I dreamed to be a member of a famous rock band , and have my own professional record studio ... I almost prevailed , but gave up ...

28 years old , when I established my company , I was dreaming to earn 10 million USD until I reach 35 .

Right now I am a mechanical engineer and work for a company . And I learned that big expectations cause big disapointments .

So, now I'm studying again and working at the same time :(

I became neithera dancer nor a marine biologist, I stopped aspiring to be a dancer when I pretty much tore up my left thigh muscle and started to concentrate on becoming a Marine biologist but after an incident at high school that almost got my favorite science teacher fired, I lost faith in the education system after that I decided to become a chef which is what I would be doing right now if I hadn't come here, unfortunately there is no employment for chefs of the female variety here in Qatar.
