Mission Mangal Movie Took Me Back to My Dreams

There was a moment in the movie when Tara Shinde (Vidya Balan), the Project Director of the Mars Orbiter Mission, noticed that her staff is focused only on 9 to 5 job. She wanted them to be passionate about the mission but all she found that they care for a job, not the purpose.

To inspire them, she tells a story of why she chose to be a scientist in the first place. And then asked her staff about the moment when all of them dreamed of becoming a scientist. At that moment, everybody realized their dream (purpose) of becoming a scientist and got more passionate about going to Mars.

At the same moment, I realized how I lost in the midst of earning money only. I chose to be a writer but all I cared about how much more I can earn. I forgot that I wanted to tell stories when I dreamed of writing.

After watching Mission Mangal, I came home and wrote down my dream in big words on a page.

"I Want to Write Stories"

I pinned up that page on the desk as it will never allow me to forget my dream ever again. And it will keep me focused.
