If My Dream Came True

Sathia Kumar

I remember hearing from elders in my childhood that the dreams seen at dawn often come true.

If only my dream came true. It’s not a grand or extravagant dream. My desires are simple, and my hopes are modest. Yet, I hold a firm belief—one day, this dream will indeed become reality.

I remember hearing from elders in my childhood that the dreams seen at dawn often come true. One such morning, I dreamt that my country had transformed into a dreamland. Every citizen’s livelihood and basic rights were secured. The rule of law prevailed. People had risen above divisions, conflicts, and violence. A deep sense of harmony and unity blossomed across the nation.

Social and economic disparities had faded. Loan defaulters had repaid their debts. Business monopolies were dismantled. Adulterated products were discarded into the river. Those who had looted or laundered money abroad had returned everything from where they stood. Our education and healthcare systems had reached international standards. Public service workers and teachers had become fully responsible and attentive in their duties.

Farmers received fair prices for their produce. Workers were paid just wages. Pollution had declined, green spaces had expanded, and rivers, canals, and wetlands had regained their original beauty. Nature had healed—rivers flowed freely, forests thrived, mountains stood untouched. People breathed clean, fresh air.

Unemployment was no longer a curse; everyone had meaningful work. Science, technology, and industry had advanced so much that the nation earned a respected place on the global stage. Modern conveniences were equally available in both rural and urban areas. Clean, traffic-free cities had emerged. Brotherhood and empathy among people had deepened—hatred and jealousy were things of the past.

Politicians had risen above greed, dedicating themselves fully to public service. Students were no longer chasing degrees but were focused on acquiring real knowledge. Creativity, research, and innovation were thriving. Our universities stood among the world’s best. In arts, culture, literature, and sports, Bangladesh had become a proud voice in the global arena.

The urban-rural divide no longer existed. Roads, electricity, and internet reached every remote village. Youth were not victims of addiction or despair—they were leading the nation forward with innovation and entrepreneurship. Technology and research had brought us to the forefront.

Corruption and injustice had dropped to zero. Law enforcement operated impartially and honestly. No criminal, no matter how powerful, escaped justice. The legal system was fair and effective. Innocents were no longer punished, and no guilty person could slip through legal loopholes.

Women and children were safe, respected, and had equal opportunities. Everyone could freely express their thoughts. Children attended school without fear, dreaming of a bright future. Religion, race, or class no longer divided people. Mutual respect had deepened, and communal harmony became a pillar of society.

Young people no longer dreamed of fleeing abroad. They were rooted here, working passionately to uplift the country. Power was no longer a goal; national progress was. Citizens received swift, fair, and corruption-free public services. No one needed to bribe for basic rights. All institutions operated with transparency.

Every child had access to quality education, and no parent worried about tuition fees. Healthcare was accessible to all—no one died due to lack of treatment or money. Love and compassion connected people. Politics was no longer self-serving—it was people-focused. Every citizen enjoyed their rightful privileges. Basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, education, and medical care were fully guaranteed.

Transportation infrastructure was modern and efficient. Road safety and traffic improved. Villages and cities alike benefited from development. Environmental protection was prioritized. Trees, rivers, hills, and seas had reclaimed their natural beauty. Climate change was tackled with meaningful action.

People lived without fear or anxiety. Trust and understanding had deepened. Politicians worked beyond self-interest, genuinely serving the people. Bangladesh had become a nation of peace and prosperity.

If my dream came true, this country would truly be a dreamland—where everyone lived with dignity, security, and happiness. Citizens’ voting rights were fully protected, and elections were free and fair. Public representatives served only for the people’s benefit. Corruption, injustice, and crime had vanished from society. Everyone followed the path of truth and justice.

No one needed to travel abroad for treatment. Modern hospitals and healthcare had reached every corner of the country. Bangladesh had become so economically self-reliant that it no longer depended on foreign aid—instead, it stood ready to help others.

People lived in peace and contentment. The nation had become safe and prosperous for future generations.

If my dream came true, Bangladesh would be the land of dreams—a happy, prosperous, and peaceful country. This is not just my dream, but the dream of every hardworking, patriotic person of this land. Through the fulfillment of this dream, the hopes of all people would be realized—along with the spirit of our Liberation War and the aspirations of the people’s uprising of ‘24.

If my dream comes true, it would be a victory for humanity, morality, and values. Let us all unite to fulfill this dream—and in doing so, fulfill the dreams of all.
