‘So what is your dreams’, the boy asked her. She thought for a while, looked at him deep into his eyes wondering whether she should tell the truth or the lie. A deep breath and ‘ I want to die’ said she. He was transfixed, could not move, did not understand. It seemed the wind was blowing her hair for no reason, felt that such a beauty of hers is wasted. He felt the smell of hers deep down in his throat, his mind screaming the question ‘WHY?’, but he was not wanting to ask it. Strange, why, why had he become such a hard cold being, though such beauty existed, physically, in their friendship, in their love??

a while passed till he brought his thoughts back to where they were, standing in the middle of the road, waiting to cross to the other side, waiting for life to go green. It did finally turn green, both of them stepped down, and a big red bus swerved and hit him, leaving his body mangled under it’s enormous tires.

She broke down looking at him, and she screaming, ‘ I was lying, I was Lying’

So what are goals? I mean not the dictionary definition, but more what do we feel what goals are? In my view goals are desires, are dreams, are wants that pull us every step further to reaching it.
Types of Goals? Well we could classify them into Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Professional, Creative and Social.

Some examples from my goal list are
Spiritual

•  Learn to meditate and calm myself, be more disciplined in doing so.
• Cut down on wants and needs as I travel along the path of life.

Physical

• Run the half marathon
• 100 burpees
• Yoga

Intellectual

• Meet people from other areas of life
• Read more

Emotional

• Spend more time with my daughter and wife

Professional

• Make a revenue line product for my company
• Get more customers onboard
• Build a superpower team

Creative

• Paint a painting(one of the toughest)
• Build more Lego models
• Practice more calligraphy and juggling

Social

• Give back more than what I get to animals/trees/humans.
• Generate business out of non-profit activities for people to sustain the eco-business growth
• Generate business models for the lower income groups, which will sustain them

So this is my list, what is yours do share. Also I seek advice from people who have already been sucessful in doing things on this list, please help.

Where i started?   Its from my home.  I planted two saplings in front of my home @ Vellore.  Believe me, it was not an easy job to convince my parents to plant two saplings in front of the home.  Finally, i could convince only my mom and she also agreed to water it twice a day.    After four months of planting, now i see two saplings grown good and nice to see growing big.  Thanks to my mom for watering it daily even now.  This is how i started planting.   :)

Till date, I have planted around 21 saplings in Bangalore.  Mostly all the saplings were planted in the apartments where my colleagues and friends stay.    

What i want to do? I want to plant atleast 250 – 300 saplings by end of 2009.  (Hope i can do it). 

Where do i plant?  I plant only in the places where someone can take care.

Why Plant more trees?  Nowadays, we get to see mails / advertisements saying “51 things we can do save the planet / 10 things to do / …..”.   It mostly talks about Global Warming (Big term to me).  Day to day life we see how the city is getting polluted.  I don’t say it is only due to rooting out trees, there are lot more reasons (Lets not get into the other reasons ).  We will see what trees gives to us / how we are benefited from trees.  As everyone knew there are lots and lots of benefits by planting trees.  Few here, we get free oxygen, free fruits (only if  you own a tree ), good home to birds,  get to listen amazing music composition by the birds and lot more.
