A dance with your beloved

Crushes, school-life crushes or college-life, they always remain afresh in mind.

  That night i dreamt of my first crush, i cannot disclose her real name. Let’s call her "Rainy”. I saw that i am sitting in the ball-room. I was sad as no one has asked me for dance as yet. Suddenly i don’t know whether its sixth sense or natural instinct, i looked towards the door. I could not believe my eyes, it’s RAINY. Her eyes looked fresh like the small dew drops on morning grass; her smile could even make a dead man alive. All clad in a shining red dress, she surpassed all the beauties in the ball-room. Slowly, she came to me. I stayed silent, could not believe what’s happening! “Do u want to dance with me? “She asked. I stared at her with wide open eyes. She understood my situation; took my hand and placed it round her waist, and there we are, dancing our heart out! Jon McLaughlin’s song played in background;

            "You're in my arms

         And all the world is calm

     The music playing on for only two

            So close together

          And when I'm with you

         So close to feeling alive………

                 So close

              and still so far."

I was the happiest person in the earth! After dance, we both came out. We walked along the sea-shore for some time, talked to our heart's content. After sometime i woke up! I truly thank God for such a wonderful dream; at least i was able to spend some wonderful time with her through my dreams! I will never forget this dream in my whole life! :)

Water-o-phobia

I don’t exactly remember the date, but it was a cold winter night! Lying under the blanket in a cozy bed, soon i fell asleep.  

Suddenly i felt like being my hand had been tied with chain. Some weird people surrounded me; they had strange faces with yellow fiery ball drawn on their forehead. They were saying something to me in a totally unknown language. I told them verbally that i couldn't understand. I don’t know what they understood: they put me in a jail.    In jail, along with earthly human beings, they were also some strange-looking animals which were making different noises.

   "Hi Suvo, how are you?” I looked back instantly hearing a familiar voice. It was Sunny, my childhood friend whom i haven't met or talked to for at least for 8-9 years! It was amazing! I forgot that i am in a jail right now, i embraced him. He continued," We are on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, if we can reach the ocean anyway, they can't get hold of us anymore. “Frightened, i asked, "Hhhhhhhoww can we escape”? He pointed towards the window with iron bars which i have-not noticed.

Finally, at night when the guards were asleep, we were able to bend the rods after trying many times. One by one, we came out and started running. After sometime, i reached the sea along with others.  There was a big boat tied on the shore! Loosening the ropes, we dragged the boat into the sea. One by one, everyone got into boat. But when i was about to get into it, a huge wave came and soon i found myself gasping for breath beneath water. Soon, i heard a big roar. It is the sea-demon. “You have entered into my territory”, he shouted. With all my might, i tried to move up, but in spite of knowing swimming, i could not move an inch. In despair, I tried to utter Gayatri Mantra, i couldnot.He opened his mouth, which is black and deep, and started moving towards me.After 1-2 seconds, he will gobble me up! I was helpless. In cold perspiration, i woke up;

I took a deep breath!

German Fantasy

Aeroplanes, spaceships, sky, stars have always amazed me.    

Recently i was planning about higher studies abroad, and as educational fee is less in Germany, I was thinking of that country as an option .Like every other night, that night also i slept late. That night i saw that a company is willing to hand over his 400 million dollar project to HCL, but it will take engineers between 1-2 yrs. of experience in his team after interviewing them. Interviewees need to go to Germany to face the client interview.

Some were selected to go to Germany. I became one of them, i was enthrilled. I also saw faces of many school &college friends who were selected along with me. The D day came finally. Running through the runway gaining speed, the aeroplane slowly moved upwards. Soon it was among the clouds. One thing i would like to mention here, I have not boarded an aeroplane till now in reality! This is my first ride and it was so vivid. We reached GERMANY.

 On the first day itself we went to the Company, gave the interview. It was totally HR interview in a big room, no technical. I made it. I was selected.   I retuned back to India after that, stayed for sometime and with clothes and everything packed, i was all ready to return to Germany and join the project. The next thing which i saw is that i along with other passengers standing on a big flat ground waiting for the aeropane to come down. Due to some technical difficulties, it could not get down. So it threw a ladder made of rope, so that we all can come up. I went up but couldn’t find the entry into the plane! I was confused, i asked my fellow passengers also. Looking at them, i was dumbstruck. They were all walking on space; we have reached to such a height where there is no gravity. I started with them, it was awesome; when finally i got into the aero plane, I woke up!

EXAM - STUDENT'S NIGHTMARE

EXAMS, the biggest enemy in the history of student’s life, are no way less than any nightmare.

 It was the night before the start of my board exams! I was studying till late that night. I don’t remember when I fell asleep. I realized that I am sitting in a separate hall all alone! Only I can hear the footsteps of headmaster who is roaming around anxiously.     

 I was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room with a small table in front. On the table lied the question paper along with the answer sheet."Where are the other students?” I asked. Headmaster replied in an angry tone "Why do you need OTHER students to give your own exam?!"I preferred to stay silent. I took the question paper in hand. I felt relieved after seeing the question paper. I thanked God and started writing."Oh my god!"I tried to scream loud, “What the HELL is happening to my fingers?!"My fingers have started to shrink in size; the pen fell down from my hands! I again tried to shout, but couldnot. I started beating the table with hands to attract Headmaster's attention. He turned towards me, with a devilish smile on his face, and a sharpened knife in his hand! He started moving towards my seat. I tried to run, but my legs were stuck. I tried to shout, but my voice choked. Suddenly I heard someone calling by my name; after a sudden shake woke up and saw my mother trying to wake me up!

Fear of sacrifice

 I was going through a period of utter confusion and anxiety during that phase of life. One night (i don’t exactly remember the date); i saw that i have come to a village on the occasion of Durga Puja. The villagers treated me as the king over there. I was too amazed by their hospitality. They treated me with a grand feast that included many delicious, mouth-watering dishes. I thanked god for bringing me to such a lovely place. Then as advised by them, i went to a villager's house to have a good night's sleep.

    Next morning, the loud beating of the drums woke me up. From my window, i could see a big crowd, shouting my name, and slowly moving towards the house where i am staying right now. They have big sticks, swords, flags in their hands. "Something is wrong" my sixth sense told me. Frightened, i ran to lock the main door from inside. But it’s already too late!

    Two of them tied my hands and started dragging me followed by the whole crowd! I was dumbfounded. I tried to scream but i could not. Again and again i tried. The day was the main day of the Durga puja! It is believed that Durga Mata herself comes down to earth on that day. They dragged me to the temple. Some of the saints were doing some 'YAJNA' over there. There was a man, standing with a big sword on his hand. I closed my eyes! I am going to be SACRIFICED to please the Goddess! I had lost all hope to survive. There i was, knelt down over my knees, heads down, all ready to get sacrificed. The man lifted his sword; dedicated his regards to the goddess...and the sword came down...thuddddddddd......i woke up..!

Dreams of London (9.11.2011)

Dreams have the power of making impossible possible!

Otherwise how could someone go to London BY TRAIN FROM INDIA!

Yesterday, I saw this absurd yet wonderful dream! I went to sleep around 20'clock night yesterday! 

Suddenly I felt like I am in a metro! It was dark night. The metro was running through the streets of New Delhi that I guessed after listening to the co-passenger's murmur! Suddenly the metro stopped with a shake!ohhh.....The South Delhi traffic jam!

 I asked one of the co-passengers " where is the metro going"? She answered "London”, after a slight pause she again spoke “You are also coming with us"! My mouth remained open for a few seconds. For a normal middle class boy staying in India, this fact really takes some time to get digested.

 In the meantime, the metro started again after getting the green signal. It passed by the streets of Delhi, heading towards a mountain! It started moving up the mountain in spiral tracks! After sometime, it stopped. I, along with others got down...uhhhhhhhhh!!!

I was standing at the edge of the mountain, one step forward and I will be in heaven! One of the co-passengers spoke "We have to get another train from here to London".

I reached London in the morning. I tried to call my home as I was super excited. I wanted to give the news of my LONDON arrival to my mom. As I was thinking of calling home, I suddenly realized that I am all alone over here. I have left my friends behind. So I decided to go back and bring them along with me. As I boarded the train for going back, I woke up!Really, Dreams are so wonderful!

The prelude

"i have a dream,a song to sing,
to help me cope with anything"- Westlife.
Dreams are the most amazing part of life.The song line mentioned above enlightens the fact to a large extent. To survive in this harsh real world, you need to have dreams. They are right saying " The day you die is the day you stop dreaming".Dreams are related to subconscious mind which comes to picture when we are asleep, that is when the conscious mind also decides to take rest. Whatever we think of, whatever we feel ,whatever we like or dislike, a dream displays all these in its own way. Dreams can also be thought of as an embodiment of human emotions.Dreams affect our lives in many way. A good dream in the early morning makes a person cheerful, now he can start his day on a good note.. Like every good thing, dreams has a dark shade also, called nightmares, which make you wake up in cold perspiration at the middle of night.It happens most of the times that, you cannot recollect the dreams after being awake.In this blog, i will write about the dreams which i see when i am asleep,and which i will  able to remember after i wake up.So, wishing a very good night and sweet dreams to all of you, i am also heading towards the world of dreams..wish me luck..:)
