The reason behind the name of my blog?
First - HOPE. Such a simple word but it has immense power. Hope gives us a reason to live: a reason to strive for something more, something better. I have a few mottos that I live by and my favourite one is "Umeed pe toh duniya kayam hai". It is in Urdu and roughly translates to "the world is sustained by faith".
Next - DREAM. I am not talking about what we experience when we sleep, but rather the ideal that we would like to see eventuate. We all talk about our "dream jobs" and "dream holidays". If we create a scenario that we would like to be true, then we would be able to put our energies towards making it a reality.
Lastly - SMILE. A smile will always make you feel better. It doesn't matter who is doing the smiling. I've loved smiley faces since I was a little girl and would always sign my letters with the words "Smile a mile" followed by a smiley face. (This goes back to the late 70s - so I guess I was ahead of my time using a 'signature' and an 'emoticon' in my 'snail mail'!)
