In a college, there was a beautiful girl who happened to be the heartthrob of every boy. The coolest of boys used to approach her but she would politely turn down everyone. A simple boy of her class was madly in love with her but he could not dare to express his love for the girl. He would silently watch the girl for hours. She was a graceful dancer and he was forever fixed in the audience. There were times when he wanted to speak to the girl of his dreams but every time he was around her, his words failed him. She was, well and truly, his pipe dream.

Months went by, semesters changed but the non-existing relationship between the girl and the boy remained constant. Then one day, it was the last semester of the college, the boy decided to express his feelings. But he knew he will never be able to speak what he feels so he decided to write it down without disclosing his name. The letter he wrote was:

Dear Crush!
I'm aware that you are always flooded with messages telling you how beautiful you are and how people find you too good to be true. I feel the same but I won't waste this ‘opportunity’ saying things you already know. Rather I will push the limits and seek far more liberty. Liberty to tell you how you have changed my life by simply existing. I look at you and there is much more happening than time coming to stand still. I struggle to differentiate between khwaab and haqiqat. You seem to have walked out to reality straight from my dreams. Of course I really like you more than you will ever know but more than that I admire you. I mean, there are around 21 trillion things that I absolutely love about you and trust me you are extremely awesome. I know you don't look at me like that but kya super hot couple ho sakte the na yaar hum haha. But you know what you don't need to be mine to take my breathes away. You light up my world by simply existing. So please smile and exist forever. I don't know what you are for others but for me you are more than a human. You are my poetry. You are my pipe dream.
Lots of love.

Such was the destiny that within a few months they were not only dating each other but also happy with each other as if they were made for each other.

Do you remember that super fashionable dress that you thought you won't be able to pull off? Or that college heartthrob who will never know you exist? Do you remember the video game that the coolest boy in the class had? Or the stylish car which your boss has? Did you dream of becoming an astronaut while growing up or maybe a cricketer? Do you look back in your past with regret in your eyes? If you answered in a "yes" for any of the above mentioned questions, then my friend you have had a pipe dream.

Everytime when you think the dream close to your heart is too unrealistic or unachievable you put that dream in a special category which is known as Pipe Dreams.

The boy felt that the girl can never be his just like all of us think about so many things in our lives. But he left all his fears behind and took a leap of faith. Just a few minutes of insane courage helped him turn his pipe dream into the most beautiful part of his life. Similarly, if you wish to achieve your pipe dreams remember that a few seconds of insane courage can change your life. If she is the girl of your dreams, go and talk to her. If you want to leave your job and be a writer go and chase your passion. If you want all your pipe dreams to turn into reality, understand and take your leap of faith.
