Midnight Dreams-A dream seller

Last year, on one fine day someone called me over a phone and said that they are group of students from agriculture college Mandya and coming to Mangalore to visit the fisheries college campus. I said fine. But they were reaching at 11.30 pm and leaving the campus at 6.0 am next day. They did not have time to visit the campus. At around 12 am they might have reached the campus. Few minutes after 11.30 pm, again I received a call from a student expressed their willingness to meet me in the night. I asked why..anything serious? They said everything is perfect, but they have heard of my name through one of their teachers, who insisted them not to miss a chance to meet me when they are in Mangalore.  I was on my routine pooja...theertha. Unwillingly, I went there. It was 12.10 am. Surprisingly I saw two of my students (Dr Asha and Dr Bhavani) who were the tour leaders. They were so happy and they knew my flexibility and requirements. I thought it is their strategy to meet me. They were sitting so nicely in a circular form, a chair in one of the points waiting for me. They were all students form middle and lower middle classes. Lots of dreams; with no clarity. I added some clarificant and inspired them with my own stories. It was 1+1 course finished in 90 min. One of them called me recently and said he is healthy after listening to my talk. He was happy.. very happy. Till this time, I never imagined that this could be one of the outcomes of my talks. Of course, health is one of indicators of success. He wanted study abroad. He never had passport when he was in front of me. I told all them to have passport and driving licence. Like me in the past, many did not have that small amount to have them. While appreciating his success, I told him to take up a water issue of Mandya and work on it. He has agreed. When I asked about other’s performance, he said, I had informed them not to call me till they attain certain level of success. They will call me soon. What more a dream seller can expect.
