Dream Journey : Team Vayu [Pradeep, Shreya, Vishnu]

Day1: Tumkur

On the very first day the team set out on the streets of Tumkur with full enthusiasm and hopes to capture the dreams of the people. The day started off talking to people on streets and a slum in the neighborhood. The experience was great! We managed to capture few good dreams, so, the first day wasn't that bad. 

 Smiles in the slums 

Day2 : Pavagada

The spirits were high as we set out for Pavagada. We dropped two teams- Agni & Bhoomi @ Madhugiri and continued our journey to Pavagada.On the way the bus tyre  got punctured and to our surprise the bus didn't have jack to fix it. We some how managed to fix it with the help of a tractorwala and finally reached the destiny. Dreamcatching started pretty late that day for the teams Vayu & Jala. But still the score wasn't that bad and we got some very good dreams. A fruitful day for sure!

Day 3 : Sira

It was a good day, but as a team, we had to split as Pradeep had to stay back for the video editing team at the base Bapuji hostel. Vishnu joined team Bhoomi whereas I(Shreya) joined team Agni. Working with the other teams was a good experience as well.  

Day4 : Siddhaganga Institute of Technology

As a team; Vayu, me and vishnu went to SIT in Tumkur along with the team Jala and Siddharth accompanying us while Pradeep was at the base subtitling the videos.

 We had high expectations in terms of numbers as well as getting some quality dreams, but were little disappointed as we did not get enough dreamers there; we got few good dreams though. 

 Balaji's dream is to install a sheep feeding unit.

 Jyothi dreams of helping poor people by employing them in her future venture of handicrafts and giving them various facilities.

Day5 : Chikkanayakanahalli

Again the team Vayu had to split as Pradeep was continuing the video editing and subtitling at the hostel. I joined team Agni again and Vishnu joined team Bhoomi. It was a kutty place; hardly any restaurant to eat. Sighs! We ended the day by interviewing Sri Doremuddaiah President of the Municipal Corporation office and he promised us that within 1 month sanitation problem will be solved. Lets see if it works for real or was that just over the video!

 

Day 6 : Tiptur

Yaay! Our team is back in action as our Kannadiga is back in the team! Phew the team can breathe now! We started off interviewing officials at BAIF institute accompanied by Sam. The best day it was for our team as we scored 5 Stars; meaning we got some real good dreams. Talking to Dr. Reddy was the best part. His dream was the best as he wants that we Indians should get back to basics and improve the systems that we following. Personally we hope that his dream comes true! Later we went to BSIT college and interviewed a bunch of students there. We were so indulged in dreamcatching that we skipped our lunch. The day ended on a happy note with a balance of quantity and quality dreams.

Day7 : Turuvekere

Hmmm, so we went to this place called Turuvekere and hit a jackpot! Whoaa! After interviewing few people on the streets, we went to the Taluk office and interviewed the head of the Taluk and various government officials. Within few hours we managed to interview a good number of people. Among them, a young chap named Chandan who is just 22 yrs old has a superb dream. You should check out his video to know about it as it’ll leave a better mark rather than me writing and killing the feel!  Again an excellent and  total satisfactory day.

Here are the two amazing dreamers of the day:

Day8 : Gubbi

Gubbi , as per the name, the place was a tiny one. After interviewing some people on the streets, we went to Coir Development Corporation and interviewed the Official Incharge and had a stroll around the campus and saw the machines and men doing their work.  Meanwhile, we got to know that Vipin sir would be joining the dream journey for the day. He was with the team Agni at CIT. Later, we headed to a peaceful place; Chidambaram Ashram and spent few hours there, interviewed  two main people there and had lunch. Then again we hit the streets but people were too reluctant to talk. Today was a usual day.

Tomorrow, i.e.27^th is the last day of the journey and we shall be targeting Korategere and leave for Bangalore by noon. Lets hope the journey ends on a fruitful and happy note.
