Mr. Ram Ratan Kapila runs a refrigerator and air-
conditioner business by the name of Kapsons, its
offices being located in Asaf Ali Road in New Delhi.
Needing a catchy name for his firm, he advertised
for one in the newspapers, promising a handsome
reward for the best slogan. In spite of repeatedly
advertising, no apt slogan was forthcoming. He
kept racking his brain day in and day out, but could
not hit on anything that sounded just right.
Six whole years came and went, then one night Mr.
Kapila dreamt he was in a beautiful garden, with
birds chirruping and perfect weather. Delighted
with his surroundings, he exclaimed, “What
wonderful weather!” It had taken him six years, but
he had found the right catch phrase at last:
Kapsons: the weather masters.
The dream is an activity which goes on in the
sleeping state inside the mind, often crystalling
unformed thoughts and desires. Often what has
been going on during the day appears in dreams at
night. History abounds in tales of discoveries which
have been made through dreams, and problems,
which had apparently been insoluble, being happily
solved on wakening from an illuminating dream
sequence. An inventor’s mind, when totally
engrossed in his invention, continues to project the
ins and outs of the problems even when he is
asleep. It is not unusual for answers to seemingly
impossible questions to appear in the course of
dreams. But this only happens as a result of total
intellectual association with any given subject.
Success is the result of devotion and assiduity, and
is never the result of some unasked for miracle.
