When risk meets grit…
Prakash Varma and Sneha Iype founder, Nirvana Films agreed to have started a firm 8 years ago without knowing where they where headed. All they had was a dream. I wonder what would have happened had they not taken that one risk…that one step out from their comfort zone.
We wouldn’t have had the pug and the kids and the current favorite for many “zoozoos”! Yeh, ok there would have been something else but surely not the nearly icons pug and zoozoo. For interest of the readers Nirvana Films is a Bangalore based company that has created a niche out of ad-film production and have many award winning ad-films to their credit.
Well, we all have dreams. Paradoxically, only few have the grit to follow them. The rest dwell in fear and self pity. Fear in getting into unchartered waters, fear of moving out of the comfort zone, fear of failure…can be anything. There is self pity on not being able to do what they wanted to do all their life; and you bet they would have reasons to justify it too.
I firmly believe in one thing… You are here because you want to. No point brooding because if you really wanted things to change bad enough you would have done something about it. You live life only once, make the most of it. Do things you always wanted to do.
It can be anything….starting a company; going for higher studies, nurturing your long lost hobby – planting your garden; learning guitar; skydiving, anything! Dream is neither big nor small; it’s how you look at it. My dream might look trivial to others, but my dream is my dream…big enough for me. Do I make sense?

Dreams do come true if you believe in them as much…I have had tons of experiences where dream just came true exactly the same I believed in.
Comfort zone is something for the faint hearted. Playing it safe is not always the best way….awesome post in my area of interest!
