Dream

People talk a lot about their childhood dreams. Most of the time, I am confused when they say, they always wanted to be a doctor, and how they loved helping people or an engineer because they liked fixing broken things.
Whats the confusing part ?
I never had any such dreams.

I never had any dream of becoming an astronaut and fly into space. Nor did I see myself doing something for world peace, when I grow up. I almost always don't know what to say when the conversation ends up in this topic.

Now, what has all these got to do with this picture ?

Harvard Square, Boston, Aug 3rd 2008: I took this picture and it got me thinking.
There has to be something that I used to dream about when I was a kid. So i decided to try and remember my childhood days. I got to a point where I remember, that I used to dream about robots a lot and sometimes about the stars in the sky. But most of the time, the very small things in life fascinated me.
