Books, undoubtedly, take us on a ride — either into the deep-rooted reality of society or far beyond into a dream state and often everything in between. Dreams are mysterious and sometimes meaningful — they send signals, boost confidence, and motivate people to visualise goals that can be brought to life. Even before finding the means to achieve the target, our mind sees the end result. In other words, dreams pave the way for us to be ambitious and enjoy the fruit of our labour. Sonu M Kothari
