Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Childhood Dream

Rayan, an Indian Canadian boy, lives with his granny in India because his parents are working to settle their house and business in Canada.

He has a fair tone, curly wavy short hair, and deep beautiful brown eyes. Due to being born in Canada, he also gets pink cheeks during winter.

In describing him, he is a pure soul, magical baby, and old soul, and his world revolves around his granny. He loves storytime and watching cartoon series with his granny.

A normal person may have 90% innocence, but Rayan is 110% innocent! Literally, you can see it for yourself.

"I always dreamt of becoming a teacher when I grow up," says JJ.

"Really, I dreamt of being a doctor. How cool would it be when people say, 'Dr. Tj, you are a goddess, you treated a patient who was incurable!' Imagine." Tj zones in after hearing the name Dr. Tj.

 

"Yes, I want to be a model."

 

"I dreamt of being an army officer."

Everyone shares what they want to be when they grow up. But on the other side, one boy, a very different boy, chooses to speak up.

 

"You guys already have dreams about becoming something. Wow!" Rayan exclaims with amazement.

 

"I never had a dream to become anything except I always have dreams about ghosts, which means I will become a ghost." He keeps mumbling.

Everyone starts laughing and is surprised at the same time.

 

"No, Rayan, not that dream. When we want to become something, we tell it as a dream," Tj explains to Rayan.

 

"Oh, even when thinking about dreams, I still didn't think about something when we grow up." Rayan says, feeling confused.

 

"Maybe this is the time to think about it, Rayan. It's very important to have dreams so we can become something amazing when we grow up," says Sam.

 

"I always enjoy this time where we all play, then do homework and eat. And I like all types of work - doctor, army, teacher, sports. How can I choose one dream?" Rayan asks curiously.

 

"If you want to be all, maybe you should be an actor," Tj suggests funnily.

 

"They can become everything? Okay, so my dream is to become an actor!" Rayan exclaims excitedly.

 Everyone then went home , so does Rayan.

"I will be a great actor, people will love me, they will need me, na na na na na naa," Rayan sang, hopping along the path. Rayan opens his gate, which is covered with beautiful bougainvillea flowers.

"Rayan, is that you?" his granny asked from the kitchen.

"Yes, Nani, who else can it be?" Rayan replied, skipping into the room.

"Maybe Nani Sharmishtha, she's coming today to meet us," Granny said, stirring a pot of delicious-smelling kheer.

Rayan's eyes widened. "Nani, will we only eat kheer? It's too sweet. Can I get pav bhaji from Mama's pav bhaji shop? It's so yummy, and we have guests too." Granny chuckled.

"My beta, I already made masala potato curry with puri. See, on the table?"

Rayan's face lit up. "Wow, I can't wait to eat. Should I start arranging plates, Nani?"

"No, beta, first let Sharmishtha come, then we will chat, then we will show her the house, and then we will eat."

"But Nani, shouldn't we eat first? Guest is God, and we serve God food first," Rayan asked, trying to convince granny.

Granny smiled. "You're right, beta. But today, we'll do it a little differently. Now, come help me with the preparations."

As they worked, Rayan sang his song again, while taking food to the table and arranging plates. "I will be a great actor, people will love me, they will need me, na na na na na naa."

Granny listened, a warm smile on her face. "What's the new song about, han? You want to be an actor?" Rayan nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Nani, we should have dreams so we can be something amazing when we grow up. And besides, what else can I be?"

Granny's expression turned thoughtful. "You can be a kind person when you grow up, it's rare to be that. And who says dreams only refer to work? It can be a characteristic, a type of person you want to be, and many things, but it should be yours, not others, okay, my beta?"

"Besides my beta have a melodious voice and loves to read stories even from real people's life stories, you have many talents like singer , writer or film producer "
