Dreaming in my dream….. Zzzzzz

I get up from my bed and hear some roaring sound. The sound gets louder as I struggle to open my eyes. With half shutter open I steal a look outside my window and catch sight of something running very fast. I try hard to figure out what’s happening and I see a Lioness running behind a deer. My eyes are wide open while I look around to re-affirm where I am. I come out of my room and see that it opens into a forest with tall trees, colorful flowers and chirping birds around. That sight pleases me but again I hear that roar and rush back to my comforter. I think hard how this happened and why it happened. And while I am thinking I fall asleep. I go in a retro mode to analyze how this happened. And this is what I see …
It’s a dark night. I hear some sound coming from the parapet. I slowly tiptoe to find out what’s happening. Wooo!! I step back. I see ten small lion-cubs playing. I decide not to disturb them. I move back to my room to get my camera to click some photographs. But before I could click I hear some strange voice. And the cubs follow a queue and start running towards that voice. It’s too dark for me to figure out who that was. But I decide to go back to bed again rather than exploring who it was. The same thing happens for 2-3 days. And then I start observing the emotions of cubs carefully. When they enter my house they are all hip-hopping but when they move out of my house they frown and walk with a droopy face. I decide to keep some milk for them from tomorrow. I wait nearly at their arrival time at my balcony for them to come. But an hour passes by, then two hour passes by and no one appears. Disappointed I go back to my bed. But what’s this!! I still hear that voice which used to call the cubs. This time I grab a torch and my wallet and follow that voice. I keep walking until I reach a strange yucky smelling place. I put on my torch light to see where I am. And to my surprise it’s a Circus! No wonder the cubs made that droopy face while going back. I follow my instincts and reach the lion’s cage. The lioness is fast asleep and the cubs return back to their small cages before it is dawn.’ Hmmm’ I say to myself – ‘I need to do something for these cubs’. Next day I come dressed as an inspector from Animal rights department with some fake papers to prove that the National zoo authority has the rights on the cubs. I instruct the circus owner to transfer the cubs to my van and I drive away in full speed. I open the van-door to the location where the cubs used to play at night…
Captured some of the snapshots of the dream I saw in my dream

As a kid I always wondered how much of fun it would be to live in a hostel. “Freedom” was the thought I associated the most with hostel life. I could wear the clothes I liked, eat ‘chinese’ all the while , watch movies online (as the connection at home is 8kbps for download), eat ice-cream any time of the day (Mom always scolds if I eat ice-cream at night) ….soo many things ….
And I did most of these things which I wanted to during my stay @ Dubai.
Apart from these fantasies of eating and having fun, on one hand I always wanted to stay in a hostel and thought about eating, studying, partying together while on the other hand I feared staying with someone who could be so unlike me.
My dreams and wish came to reality during my course in Dubai. I stayed in a hostel which was soooo far away from the city. In the country of deserts we were actually deserted: D. Before I reached Dubai, there was a girl from our batch from Delhi who had asked me if I would mind sharing the room with her. Since she was from Delhi and sounded ‘Sabhya’ on phone I thought ‘what’s the harm?’. I landed in Dubai early morning @1 AM. We waited for another flight to arrive as we had a common pick-up from the airport and then proceeded to the hostel. When we reached there @ 4 AM in the morning. While we had our registration I asked for the room I had pre-fixed. I reached my room and got a warm welcome from my roomy. She asked me if I would like to have tea/coffee. I was impressed with my decision to choose her as my roomy. I just kept my luggage and went to sleep. Then next day morning I had my first break-fast which wasn’t a breakfast actually. I had my brunch ‘puri-bhaji’. That morning I saw few of my class-mates roaming outside the building gate. To my surprise I saw girls in mini-shorts and I said to myself “Priyu welcome to the hostel world”
I unpacked my stuff and then had my 2 other roomies join me. Then later half of the evening I had the 5th member in my room. I had fun with all but one of my room –mates. And guess who this special element was – Yes you guessed it right!
She was the one who had welcomed me and as far as I remember that was the first and the last time I remember she asked me for a tea or coffee. This dame was Miss Famous of our batch. People used to talk about her all the times and she was an attention seeker too. I had a very nice time with my other room-mates. We used to eat , go for walks, play cards, study together. It was fun!! And we had a visiting neighbor always who used to give our talks a new direction. I enjoyed that part of my life in hostel. But when it came to sharing with someone whom I had started disrespecting it was tough! Believe me! It was so tough and unreasonable at times that I had to sit outside my room to study so that I could find some peace from the chaos that used to be happening in my room all the while.
Soon the days passed by doing assignments and studying for exams and quizzes. The day came when we had our ARP presentations and people started moving back to their home towns as they finished with their presentations. On the last day one of my room-mates made pysum for 3 of us and we had that in the morning. That was the most memorable day in my life :)
A year down the line I dont think anyone from my batch was so bad to be hated . Everyone was a darling and I have forgiven some people whom I hated frm heart.
Cheers to you roomies !!!

School and College Friends
There are not always reasons to everything that we do or everything that happens to us
Life does not give reasons to smile but we need to smile always.
There are instances where people who are close to us just move away and then we have new set of people to interact with. There are some people , some friends of mine who I always felt had everthing they needed in life. I always used to feel that my life is way below standard as "compared" to theirs and so I chose to move away them. Was it because I was jealous of them? Well not exactly! My reason for moving away was for identifying who my true friend was. People who know come back to you when you are sad , who help you in times when u need them (without having you to specify that you need them), who do things for you so that you feel happy always are the ones as per my definition qualified to being called as "True Friends"
In school we make many friends ... I made many as well...And in those days we did not carry mobile phones or have email ids ... So after school I lost touch of few of my best friends ... And till date I get dreams where I find them, I feel the pleasure of meeting them.
When I moved to Enginnering, I made very good friends and am proud to say that I still have them as my best friends. Namita/Sheepra/Jyothi/Anusha/Preeti ...we were a gang of 6 girls and very famously know as the "4-feet" group. Most of my friends are married now and others in different states. But what keeps me bonded to them is the experience that we shared togther. The tough times we saw through. And never did we have any "reasons" for insulting anyone. Such friends are rare to find. Thus once found , one should always do whatever they can to be-friends. Today while I am away from my country, my friends, my family ... I miss all of them !!
Life will not always give you gifts to unpack, but will give you gifts in parts ...the way we assemble them makes the game of life interesting and a wonderful experience.

Being apart ...
but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in the heart.
Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other,
it's one day closer to the next time you will.
We only part to meet again ...
Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones,
as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long,
If we're in each other's dreams, we can live together whole life

Life is one or life is two ...
But surely the soul is one.
With this burgeoning friendship,I can truely say!
The thought of you makes me ebullient
Enlivens my journey through this lonely path called LIFE.
Walking along this path hand in hand
we are getting something to learnin each phase of our lives.
The desire to chase our dreams,
reach our goals,
and enjoy the icing on our cake named SUCCESS.
While speculating the future ahead,
it leaves a lightening spectre,
All through my body,All through my soul.
But then I always remember,
I have a friendwho is always there for meas cool as a rainy breeze.
Who'll always lend me a helping handand a shoulder to lean on,
And then strengthen my standin every act I do and every decision I make.
Life is full of loveand when a mild wind blows - passing the ear,
doesnt the world itselfsound like a pleasant wind chime.
Love is something immortal that will always stay
Although on me if the deaths cold hands lay.
Love is your smilewith all the gleam seen in your eyes.
Love is your voice which softens my nerves,
making and bringing a smile on my face always.
All that I try I can doand all that I pray , may you get
because I want the river of radiating happiness to flow from me to you
and enlighten you all throughout
Through mind and through soul.
Life is one or life is two,
I conclude saying " Yes its all ONE"
