CHASING DREAMS

Everyone of us have dreams to pursue. That include me too. Now my dream is to write a book about dream chasers, people who aspire to do something in their life, a dream that is possible, achievable and beneficial to them as well as their loved ones. It may not be possible within their life span but once the real thing is started, the next generation will be able to continue the pursuit and realize the dream.
Since Chasing Dreams is already the title of a movie, it will only be the tentative title and a suitable one will be thought of. If you have any suggestions, you are most welcome to put forth.
This dream book of mine may not reach publication in the form of a hard print. It does not matter. Thanks to the Internet, the blog is just like a published book itself. You can start reading the book on the blog as they are being created, chapter by chapter. A time span of five years is envisioned but a ten year period is better for the dream to take shape and matures into a significant entity.
Thanks to Rita Ho who had advised me to retain my already registered blog Stories From The Blogs which has been inactive for sometimes and keep it for future use. Her wise counsel has allowed me to use the site to start posting my first chapter for the book soon.
Just to give you some inkling of what the story will be about, I will briefly describe the characters involved as they are based on the stories of real people I know and are still around and are quite close to me.
The first one is a family with a father trying to carve a place for his family by setting up a Muay Thai School where his children will be operating with him till it is time for them to take over. He set about to do it by training two of his sons to undergo Muay Thai training. One of them is to become a well known fighter to carry the flag of the school and the other will be training to become the instructor while the eldest who had just graduated from a Thai University will manage the school.
Another dreamer is an event organizer who has a Muay Thai Gym with a number of professional fighters under his charge. He will organize events to cater to his many fighters to fight and enable him to make some income to sustain his business via such events. The business is full of intrigue and manoeuvres that the on goings behind it is material enough for a book.
Another dreamer is a guy who wants to go into publication of magazines and other items related to Muay Thai as an occupation.
When one feels insecure with ones's job one has to do something about it. This guy is also setting up a gym for Muay Thai in Negeri Sembilan.
A man who has a comfortable life will be establishing a Muay Thai gym because of his love for the game and also because his youngest doctor daughter is crazy with muay thai. He will be the common denominator binding all the other characters.
All of them have just begun their involvement and somehow or other have made commitments which they can't back out. What will happen to them in one year's time? How will they all fare in about five years time from now?
For my own dream to be realised, I must improve my fitness so that I can live to witness the above mentioned people realise their dreams. Will I live beyond that five years? If I live to write about them for the next ten years, it will be a bonus.
Since this effort of mine is not in the pursuit of money, it will be free reading for all who has the time to visit the site. After all it is just another blog site.
Let us pray to God that this project will be a success.
